Heron Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I'll be getting one. Only because Ive watched this scene (that it aims to imitate) play out in nature, and it makes total sense to me. But I would probably use it mostly in open water areas, and not throw it into the slop. I save the frogs for slop. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 15, 2015 Super User Posted July 15, 2015 Probably gonna be a great bait... Quote
ErikMon Bills Fan Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 HEY!!!! they just posted the colors on ***!!!! Lots of cool sunfish colors but I would like to see a perch and a crappie color. Also maybe a purple junbug. Sadly they are out NOV 12 so I wont be able to use them untill next year 1 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted July 16, 2015 Super User Posted July 16, 2015 I'll be getting one.

But I would probably use it mostly in open water areas, and not throw it into the slop. I save the frogs for slop. The reality of the bait is in your avatar pic. I will get bit off by a blue heron on the very first cast. Then I will tie on another one and will get bit off by a pike. That's $27 gone in a couple minutes. My money is better spent at the bar. $27 will buy enough tequila to get the lonely girl at the end of the bar drunk enough to come home with me. I might catch an STD but at least I'd catch something. This past Saturday I was motoring around, running 3-4mph, watching the side imaging when a heron swooped down out of nowhere and grabbed a fish literally 2ft off my bow. Not an ounce of fear in that bird. Scared the crap out of me.... Quote
Super User slonezp Posted July 16, 2015 Super User Posted July 16, 2015 Same gear you throw frogs on. 7'-7'6" rod. 50-65# braid. High gear ratio reel. New pic? I see you've been fishing. That a pike or a musky? Quote

Super User Master Bait'r Posted July 16, 2015 Super User Posted July 16, 2015 Come on man at least post a link so I don't have to fully engage myself in tracking it down. They're on TW. Delivery expected "late winter". Colors are cool but not quite the variety I was expecting. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted July 16, 2015 Super User Posted July 16, 2015 Yea, nothing like "50 shades" of bluegill! Quote
Super User tcbass Posted July 16, 2015 Super User Posted July 16, 2015 Beautiful. And with Trokar hooks, nice. Can't wait to give them more of my money . :eyebrows: I'm interested too. I'll let you guys buy them and test them out for me. lol. In Field & Streams testing Trokar hooks didn't do so well. They tended to have point bend issues I recall. Quote

Super User rippin-lips Posted July 16, 2015 Super User Posted July 16, 2015 Just doesn't excite me, but here y'all go. I'd hang it from my rear view mirror though. Quote
Kevin Beachy Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Just doesn't excite me, but here y'all go. I'd hang it from my rear view mirror though. What a background for the second picture! (do not handle!) :0 ~Kevin Quote
Super User J Francho Posted July 16, 2015 Super User Posted July 16, 2015 It's funny, because whenever I see a dying little sunfish on the surface, nothing will touch it. In sure it will get bit despite that. Hopefully it hooks up as well as their frogs. 2 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted July 16, 2015 Super User Posted July 16, 2015 Just doesn't excite me, but here y'all go. I'd hang it from my rear view mirror though. funny to me that they make that paint scheme look so realistic, but leave that big unpainted silver weight on the bottom side (side the bass will actually see) seems they could paint it or something.... i know it won't make much of a difference, but still.

Vayned Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I will have to check and see if Field and Stream have it. I can only think it would be cheaper to catch a sunfish and use it as bait i dunno. Quote

The paint is to catch fishermen. The action is what will draw strikes. This is the perpetual frog conversation though. 1 Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 Not bad. I'll bite and pick up a few. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 A company called Picasso already has something very similar. Been around for a while. Quote
Big C Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I really like the idea, just not a huge fan of the colors. I'll probably get the midnight bluegill, but I want to see (and kinda suprised they don't have) an all black, an all white, a shad, and a baby bass color. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 Wow you guys are chomping at the bit to buy these things up. I must be the only one who isn't impressed by it in the slightest. No, I am not either. I will say this...Koppers might be the best company at catching fisherman. You guys run right out and buy your $13 dollar fancy pants thingy, I'll just be over here catching fish on my stuff. 1 Quote
