Yamamoto Kreature Bait Question.

[LSU Fan]

I've been using the Yamamoto Kreature Bait for many years with great success.   I ask of those who use this bait rig it?  Originally I rigged it T-rig with a 3/16oz weight on a 4/o extra wide gap hook but had a poblem with spinning when reeled in so changed to a 3/16 oz jig head iwith a 4/o hook.  How do you guys and or gals fish this particular bait.

I've never fished one.  I know a couple of guys that say they are effective, I just wasn't interested when I first saw it.  I'd be down to fish it without the large curl tails though.  I know you didn't ask for my opinion of the bait 💩

KP, I've rigged this bait, from what I see from the Yamamoto website, backward.  With the 3/16 oz extra wide gap hook jighead I run the hook through the skirted end of the bait with the augertails at the end of the bait.  the color I use is watermelon black flake.  This bait is for me "My go to bait", that really produces some big Bass.

Texas rigged just like you and yes I have noticed it spirals as well. This bait I use when they are hitting creature baits and I am looking to upgrade as they catch bigger fish. If I must keep the bait from spiraling, I use the Owner weighted center pin hook in 3/32oz along with the bullet weight.

Sorry to take so long to answer your post.  I also had the spinning bait syndrome.   I went with a small jig called a "Secret Lure".  The jig is a 3/16 oz on a 4/0 hook.  The weight has a groove that seems to aid in standing the bait up on the bottom. Go to Secret Lures online to get info if interested.

I’m a little different.  I use it on a Carolina rig.  4.0 EWG.

I like them as a jig trailer. You can really customize them by tearing appendages off which is really cool.
