Red Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 has anyone used these baits by berkley? if so how do you rig/fish them? do they make for a good jig trailer, or better off by themselves? also, can someone recommend a good jighead to use for such an application? i checked at academy tonight and all i could find was plain old round jig heads...i was thinking a stand up head might be better Thanks Cliff Quote
The_Natural Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 The Academy's here in OKC have started carrying spot removers and a few other premium stand-up jigheads. I think spot removers, jiggy heads, etc. would all work well. Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 The SMB in the avatar was curtousy of the sabertail bug. I rig it on a jighead that stands up in 1/8 or 3/16 oz. Imataes a crayfish very well. -WM Quote

Red Posted May 11, 2007 Author Posted May 11, 2007 thanks guys, i got a couple packs last night, but i think i am going to have to order jigheads online..thanks again Cliff Quote
wickyman Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I used its cousin, the beast, also by Berkley bait company. I had a really nice 4.3lber off it, probably because I irritated her off her bed... Not on purpose, as I couldn't see her until she bit... Was just hoping for any fish! lol That lure produced only one for me, as I only had the one, and now am not able to find anymore, except the online sites... I don't have a credit card, so I will have to wait and see what comes up in the later months! Quote
Red Posted May 12, 2007 Author Posted May 12, 2007 gonna give these a try this afternoon.....do any of you guys ever cut the skirts down on your jigs? i have a couple strike king skirts and they seemed very long...so i cut them down and added them to a football jig with the sabertail bug as a trailer...it looks pretty good, hope the fish think so too...i will let you know how i do! thanks for the tips Cliff Quote
Super User grimlin Posted May 12, 2007 Super User Posted May 12, 2007 I ordered a few....I couldn't resist the crawfish look... Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted May 13, 2007 Super User Posted May 13, 2007 I've had success with them T-rigged; 1/8oz Ultra Steel weight, Ultra Steel clicker and a Gammy light wire 2/0 EWG hook. After reading this thread, I'm gonna have to try "em on a jighead. Cheers, GK Quote
Red Posted May 13, 2007 Author Posted May 13, 2007 i tried them on a jig no luck but it sure did look nice in the water....i used and jig with a black skirt on a 1/4 oz football jig with a black/blue sabre tail as a trailer Quote
