rebar Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Went on a fishing trip to Black Fork River in SE OK over the weekend. Plenty of water but fishing was tough! Went with my 28 year old son and he kicked my bass AGAIN with the Tennesee shad spit'n image. Wished I had never gave him his first one a few years back. I've had a little trouble working them, they're a little harder for me than Zara's. I'm going to have to learn how or retire, it looks like! LOL! We only caught 3 smallies each but he probly caught 30 or 40 Spots in the 1 to 2 # range and a few largemouth. About all I could catch was goggle eyes! (sunfish). I WILL be ordering myself a couple of these baits and doin some practicing! Might leave him home next time too! Anyone else use these baits? lp Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I have a couple that I don't use. I was never very impressed with the bait, and never gave it much of a try... I'll take them off the shelf and give them a try next time out. Quote
Super User CWB Posted August 27, 2008 Super User Posted August 27, 2008 They seem to require less slack and quicker pace than most "Spook" type baits. Practice and it should pay off although there are easier working baits out there. Quote
MNGeorge Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I have a couple that I've caught fish on, but when I want a walking topwater now, I use the Rapala SkitterWalk. Easiest bait to walk I've ever used. Caught many Smallies and Largemouth on them. Quote
guitarkid Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I like them, they walk easier than a spook in my opinion. -tumnus Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted August 27, 2008 Super User Posted August 27, 2008 One of my first ever confidence baits. Also one of the first baits where I've opened the package on the boat, tied on, and caught a bass on the first few casts. I've had Sammy fever lately, so the Spit'n Image is taking a little break.

Super User Muddy Posted August 27, 2008 Super User Posted August 27, 2008 any one have a link to anyplace selling the larger ones. I am down to one and I prefer the bigger of the two? I can't readily find the larger ones anymore. Thanks Dominick Quote
loomis spookwalker Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Try a spook or skitterwalk instead. Quote
basser89 Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 The Spit'n Image was what I learned to walk the dog on. Last year, I had a TON of success with them on the one pond I fish. This year, not so much. :-/ But I believe that's due to the added fishing pressure the pond has received. any one have a link to anyplace selling the larger ones. I am down to one and I prefer the bigger of the two? I can't readily find the larger ones anymore.Thanks Dominick Hey Muddy, I like the larger ones too! Try Lurenet . com. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 28, 2008 Super User Posted August 28, 2008 No one TW catches all the TW biters. The Spittin' Image is a MUST HAVE in your TW dog selections, along with the usual Spooks, Sammys, Bananas, etc. Quote

loomis spookwalker Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Skitterwalks and Sammies are much better than that whatever it is. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted August 29, 2008 Super User Posted August 29, 2008 QUOTE FROM ABOVE: Skitterwalks and Sammies are much better than that whatever it is. I primarially use Jitterbugs on top,Jittersticks and Jitterwalks, as well as the Spittin Image.Let's here your experience loomisspoolwalker with using both the Sammy abnd Jitterwalks and I would especially like to here your experience using the WHAT EVER IT IS, so we can see how you have come to your opinon of these.

Chad. Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Not to jack this thread, but the swayback spooks look great and are priced well over here? Quote
Axsanb Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 I like the lure and have had a decent amount of success with it out here. These fish here in So Cal see all those baits and more and they still hit this lure. And it only costs about 1/2 of all those other lures. Quote
