anybody ever use one for bass before? i was thinking of getting one in shiner color. they are heavy though, 1 5/8oz. i dont have any rods that capacitate lures that heavy. i could probably get away with lobbing it on my lightning rod.

but yeah, how do these fare with bass?

I've never used one, but there's little doubt that this would attract bass. After all, its little brothers are outstanding lures. Yes, you could probably lob it with your Lightning Rod, but you don't say what the power of that rod is. This lure comes with 2/0 trebles and you'd need some backbone to get good hooksets a majority of the time, even with razor-sharp hooks.

It's a muskie lure for me, but I have caught some decent bass on it, while muskie fishing Try it's little brother, the Shallow Shad Rap to target bass...its a killer.

well it says its a medium power and it doesnt say what action. but its a stiff rod. its stiffer than my M power avids.

i suppose i could buy one to try it out, but at $10 each thats not a bait i want to buy only to find out i cant cast it.

I caught my pb LM on the perch color.

thats awesome. how big was the bass? also, what kind of gear were you using to throw the bait?

My standard pike/deep crank rig - 5600c4/7'6" mh flipstik,14# line. I was tired of catching dinks, made a cast and thought i had a hit. Made the 2nd cast and it hit hard. 20.5" and 4-12. I still use it every once in a while, maybe i should use it more..
