Shad_Master Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Has anyone seen, heard about, used, etc. this lure? A buddy asked me to find out what I could about it. Their website is www.actionlurescompany.com. Would appreciate any 411 you could give me. Quote
volpster31 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 ive never seen one before but it does look interesting..... Quote
jb_adams Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I read about it in a bass magazine. I rank it up there in the "gimic category" until I hear otherwise. Right up there with the "kick tail." You know what? I'd still try one if I thought it would catch a fish. Darn you baitmonkey! > Quote
Shad_Master Posted October 27, 2006 Author Posted October 27, 2006 Thanks for the replies -- anyone else have an opinion or insight? Quote
Chug Bug Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Thats a strange website. It's descriptions and phrasing seem like they are from the far east........"but we have found the best way to catch the biggest fish..use slow retrieves or fast retrieves." But apparently it's a father son team from Ohio and the lures are manufactured here. Doesn't sound like USA add copy to me. Quote
Guest avid Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 my first impulse was "gimmick" but the more I looked at it the more it made sense. The water passes into the lure activating a turbine, that expels the water with force. This no doubt adds vibration and turbulence. If made with good QC could be a winner. Quote
Guest avid Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 The website should have a video, similar to the chatterbait. then you could actually see how it moves. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted October 28, 2006 Super User Posted October 28, 2006 i saw it featured in Bass Master a while ago. It wasn't an ad either, it was a little section about new lures. Apparently it has a little fan type thing inside of it and a hole in the front so water goes through and spins the fan, churning the water and creating a buzzbait-like disturbance with the look and depth of a crankbait. I might try one. Quote
Guest avid Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I might try one. Excellent! We should all be trying out new stuff and reporting to the forum. I'm glad you vounteered for this one. Just to show that I put my money where my mouth is, I was one of the first of the forum members to buy and post on the chatterbait. That being said, I think Dan (LIghtning rod) is the most generous in this regard. Fish Chris is pretty good at being the first to use a new bait, but not many of us are in the market for $200.00 14" bait. ;D Quote
