The Bait Monkey grabbed me yesterday........

[jdw174]

while I was walking around Wallyworld.  I took one look at these little guys and had to take them home.  They're Storms new WildEye Live Sunfish.  1/4oz and 2" long....comes in a 3-pack for $3.68.   Kinda realistic lookin'...wouldn'tcha say?

[Troutfisher]

They certainly do look realistic.  Have you seen the model with the baby pike?  It looks very real as well.  As far as action, I've only tried the swimbait, so I couldn't tell you anything about it.  I do know the swimbait worked well whenever I tried it.

[BASS fisherman]

Shoot man, consider yourself lucky if you got away with just one pack of those puppies.  I went into a tackleshop last weekend to get ONE new casting rod.  I walked out with FOUR.  And just last night I was checking out a deal I heard about dealing with three reels.  I planned on only buying one, maybe two. I ended up getting all three.   ;)

To answer your question...... I have seen those swimbaits.  I got two packs of the same size in a bluegill pattern, and I got the 4inch version of the rainbow trout.  I haven't thrown them enough because I just got them a month or so ago.  Come on spring!

I like the looks of those, and I know a perfect lake for throwing a bluegill pattern. I have two questions about those, that maybe you guys can answer.

1. Do they make them in a bigger size?

2. Can you remove the treble hook from the belly?

Yes and Yes...............

[Other.]

Its a good idea to remove the treble hook.

Its a good idea to remove the treble hook.

I removed the treble, but had to add a small split shot to the hook hanger to get the balance.  Once you figure out which split shot to use, add a little super glue to the hanger and crip it on.

[Ky_Lake_Dude]

Ive used those a little even though I haven't caught anything on them.

The Bait Monkey doesn't come into play until you're clearing a store's shelves in fear of not being able to get your favorite baits anymore.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought every pack of Kinami Flash that my local WM had.  If they have restocked when I go back, I will probably clear them out again.

Obey the baitmonkey!! He has a bad temper!!! ;D

i actually bought these baits too and have caught lots of fish on them but they are not a top pick for my arsenal. they worked extremely well when the bass were feeding on spawning bluegill. and you can take the belly hook off.

[Bream Master]

Why take off the belly treble guys.

[Hawgin]

The reason I would remove the belly treble is because the lake I want to use these in has a lot of grass in it, and the belly treble would tend to snag a lot.

The wildeye sunfish is deadly on bedding bass.  Just work it slow in and around their beds.  They also make it in a 4 inch size.

[CrazedL.IFisherman]

Its good to hear you guys saying the sunfish pattern ones work, ive had them since last spring but havent used them, i cant wait, as far as the pike ones that actually look like pickerel, they definitely catch bass, ive caught what you would consider really nice bass in the quite a few northern waters as well as caught pickerel with them

[Dan:]

my brother bought some recently but the lake froze over before he could them. That's a good point about the bedding bass though, good suggestion.

[Pa Angler]

Must have been a small Bait Monkey a Squirrel Monkey as it were.

[bass109]

didnt really catch anything with the WildEye Live Sunfish.

[KenDammit28]

I own a pack of those.

the 3 inch version and ironically..they catch a lot of crappie.  I have only thrown them twice...they do work as they are supposed to(swimming right, tail moving..etc)

The only trouble I had was that one of the lures kinda tilts to the side and I can't figure out how to straighten it back out..I've twisted and nudged everything but it still tilts to that one side every time, lol.
