bigbassin' Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Anyone have any opinions on this lure? I've had my eye on it for a while. Quote
DaleGribble Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I love them. Like all rage products they have ridiculous action. Best as a Carolina rig bait. I've used them as a sort of topwater/just below surface bait as well. Then slow retrieves work great for them too. 1 Quote
poisonokie Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I like to use them on a Jika Rig with a 3/8 weight and a 5/0 hook around rip rap and brush. I also like to throw them weightless or rage rigged after a frog blow up. 1 Quote
Super User Further North Posted September 29, 2015 Super User Posted September 29, 2015 I most often run them Texas rigged, they work great - they have accounted for hundreds of bass and pike over the last few seasons, a ton of pike and more than a few musky...up to 48". Very versatile bait, can be fished a lot of different ways and will produce fish in most of them. I even caught a 26 1/2" walleye on one back in June. They are one of my go-to baits. 1 Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted September 29, 2015 Super User Posted September 29, 2015 Carolina rigged or even texas rigged. I also like them as a big trailer too. Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted September 29, 2015 Super User Posted September 29, 2015 I've got some but haven't used them. They look like they'd be great to drag around on a swinging jighead. Quote
Super User Further North Posted September 29, 2015 Super User Posted September 29, 2015 I've got some but haven't used them. They look like they'd be great to drag around on a swinging jighead. Yup. With that set-up, I'll get them into cover...hop them a few times like a craw...then retrieve back to the boat. I'll often pick up fish on the retrieve back to the baot - this seems to be where the pike and musky like to kill them...they just hate the things... 1 Quote
bigbassin' Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 Good stuff, I'll go ahead and have to grab a pack. Other than Texas rigging, I had figured rage rigging it around laydowns and buzzing it on top through grass like a pit boss could be productive so I'm glad to see that's worked for yall. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted September 29, 2015 Super User Posted September 29, 2015 I've tried them once, and like them. I have yet to catch a bass on one, though. Quote
Super User Catt Posted September 29, 2015 Super User Posted September 29, 2015 The only wrong way to fish it is not to fish it! 1 Quote
craww Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Thats the one bait in the lineup Ive never gotten a bite on. Always felt there was a better option for a given situation. Clearly folks catch fish on em. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted September 30, 2015 BassResource.com Administrator Posted September 30, 2015 The only wrong way to fish it is not to fish it! ^^ This ^^ It's one of my favorite baits. Seems a lot of anglers shy away from it, so bass don't see it as often as other baits. That means more bites. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 Wow! Just gave it a try this afternoon. MONSTER! Maybe I can post a picture tomorrow. 1 Quote

You're not the only one who doesn't catch fish on them...I fished with a guy this summer...I was catching fish all day, he finally got tired of it and rigged one up...nothing...and I continued to catch them...I have no idea what he was doing wrong...

BassThumb Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Good baits, especially T-rigged with heavier weights (3/8+). Tons of action, and very few bites from dinks. Nice presentation for above-average sized bass. Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted October 5, 2015 Super User Posted October 5, 2015 Use it alot T rigged or Rage rigged,Like all Rage baits outstanding quality and the bass crush it. Quote
