Super User eyedabassman Posted April 2, 2009 Super User Posted April 2, 2009 I know it is alittle early in the season to ask this but, of the ones that are fishing now! Of these Rage Tails baits which one is the hot one for now? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 2, 2009 Super User Posted April 2, 2009 There should be a few more comments after next week's Roadtrip, quite a few guys will be giving Rage Tail baits a try. The Lobster has produced some good fish. I think Big O posted a picture of an 11+ a couple of weeks ago. This is one of the baits I will be throwing a lot at Kentucky Lake. The Anaconda was my biggest producer late summer/ early fall. Big O says they can be used for "numbers", but nearly all my bass were 5+. I don't think it's the right choice for tournament fisherman unless you are fishing a lake know for heavy sacks. 8-) Quote
basshunter2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I've been catching fish on the craws. Only tried the andaconda once, but it's a little too big for me. Can't wait to try the shad and toads. I love rage tail craws!!!! Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted April 2, 2009 Super User Posted April 2, 2009 I've been catching fish on the craws. Only tried the andaconda once, but it's a little too big for me. Can't wait to try the shad and toads. I love rage tail craws!!!! A little too big? :-? Do you really live in Florida? Just kidding.Give it a chance.Certain waters around here the big worms will out produce the regular ones by far. The craw is my best producing bait.I love it for pitching in dirty water and fishing in the dark. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted April 2, 2009 Author Super User Posted April 2, 2009 I was thinking that the lizard would be the hot bait. I am not sure, but I think the bass are about to spawn down south by now and the lizard would be a killer! :-/ Quote
ChazfromVA Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 i love the craw.. i have surprisingly caught several off the bed with it already this year.. its like they just can't stand em anywhere near there bed.. caught several on it in early spring and during prespawn as well Quote
Tanker4lyfe Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 definatly the rage craw still wanna give the lobster a try. Quote
bocabasser Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 space monkey. that bait has put me in the money twice this year. in one tourney i fished a stretch that had already been worked over by 2 boats and i still pulled 12 pounds out that area. the one boat kept looking back after every fish i caught. i love when that happens.

MNGeorge Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Have only tried the shad and the craw of the ones listed. Have had excellent results on both Smallies and LM with the craw. Fish it on a weighted keeper style hook. Do not like the shad at all. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted April 2, 2009 Super User Posted April 2, 2009 I caught quite a few good fish last year on both the shad and the toad. I've so far added anacondas and space monkeys to this years selection. Lobsters and craws are on my buy list. Quote
rondef Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I would have to say the lizards right now with the spawn upon us. Quote
andamtoft Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 The Toads are awesome! their legs are like buzz baits and stir up a lotttt of water Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 i've tried the shad with no success so far but think it will get better once the water temps get up a bit. After seeing all the comments on the craw I guess I will have to make a trip to Cabelas tonight to pick up some. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 i'd like to try the anaconda, but i haven't seen them locally. when i find a pack locally i might try them, they're just too expensine for a soft plastic bait. :-/ Quote
JTucker01 Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I've had awesome luck with the craw on the beds as well.. The shad was pretty intimidating also. Quote
catchnm Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Pulled 11 fish yesterday with the craw. Largest was 5lb. and another bumping that. The others were 2-3 lbs. Landed a nice 4 lb.'er from another spot on Thursday. I've pulled bedding fish with this bait while dragging it tex-posed with a 1/16 or 1/8 oz. bullet weight, unpegged. Pre-spawners off of lay-downs and points can't resist it either. Post-spawners are susceptible to it's enticing action as well. Seems like hopping it like you would a worm just doesn't seem as effective as dragging it, pause, drag again. Most hits are coming while it's moving and those craaaazzzy claws are flapping! Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 I have chosen the craw because that is what I have been fishing the most lately, dragging it across the bottom and swimming it on a jig. I have also caught fish on the lobster, lizard, and the space monkey too. I personally cannot wait until the water temp warms up enough to start using the shad... ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted April 6, 2009 Author Super User Posted April 6, 2009 I would have thought that the lizard would have more votes at this time! :-/ Quote
