Zeeter Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Has anyone used Live Target swimbaits? I'm thinking of picking up a couple and am looking for some reviews. Quote
iiTzChunky Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I have 2 that's look like schooling fish that I havnt thrown yet and a realistic looking bluegill that I picked up yesterday. I expect these are only gonna be good in clear water situations Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I grabbed one of the swimbaits this weekend, have not had the opportunity to throw it yet. I like the looks of it though, and that it has a hook hanger to add a treble to if you wanted... Quote
Zeeter Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 I like the hook out the top action on them, plus the fin acting as a weed guard. Not that I plan on throwing it in the weeds, but cheap happens. Quote
Robert Riley Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 The weed guard got in the way of my hook sets too much, I trimmed it down and I lost many less fish. 1 Quote

Super User Spankey Posted March 13, 2017 Super User Posted March 13, 2017 Can't say about the swim baits. Have a few shallow hard craws that are pretty decent. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 13, 2017 Global Moderator Posted March 13, 2017 They swim poorly, smell terrible, hookup ratio is terrible if you do get a fish to eat one, and the finish is actually just painted on and it flakes off very easily. Just a very disappointing bait all around for me. 1 Quote

Super User J Francho Posted March 13, 2017 Super User Posted March 13, 2017 I've yet to find a Live Target bait that is worth what they charge. Very disappointing in quality, action, and durability. I had a bunch of their craws implode in my tackle storage. Thankfully, BPS offered a full refund for the 50 or so I bought. Quote
