Mrpokey00 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I know everyone has small local companies in their area that produces lures and locally they are the hot bait, but nationally hardly anyone has ever heard of them. I just curious what these baits are for you guys. For me, I grew up in Hampton Raods, Virginia and there's a guy that makes homemade soft plastics, His business is called "Worminator", and I just moved back from the Atlanta area, and I caught a ton of bass on a jig made near Marietta called a Spanky jig. Which reminds me if anyone knows how I can get some Spanky Jigs ordered online, please let me know. Thanks! Quote
bigtimfish Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I dont know how local they are but I like reaction baits from La. they make a gatordawg or gatortaildawg it's like a brush hog with a twist copper/green. Quote

Super User Sam Posted June 5, 2009 Super User Posted June 5, 2009 1-inch grub by The WRrght Bait Company is dynamite. If you can find them. ;D ;D ;D Quote
CODbasser Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 there is a company around here called et baits that has some good soft plastics...a friend of mine knows the owner of the the company and says if you get in good with him you can get some stuff made that is softer than normal or vice versa...i like plastics that are good and soft for some reason...the fish seem to like them better and i think it changes the action a bit on some of the baits...the et string bean works good as a shakey head worm...its kinda like a long skinny senko Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted June 5, 2009 Super User Posted June 5, 2009 The ones I modify or make myself :-X Quote
bass wrangler569 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 There's a local company called Hawghead that a guy named Rick Anderson (some of you might know him) runs, they make some pretty decent stuff. He just won $5000 in a tournament using one of his senko knock-offs so his stuff definitely works. Quote
krisjack69 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I dont know of any bait makers around the albany ga area. Quote

guitarkid Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Some of you North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina people might know of fish stalkers, they are like a hand pour trick worm. -gk Quote
Blue Streak Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Case makes some nice baits. I am not sure if they are just local or a small national company. They make a great wacky rigging tool. Quote
Justin0530 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Not really a secret but up here in PA we have a small company called Wacky Worm that makes nice plastics. Quote
Super User Micro Posted June 7, 2009 Super User Posted June 7, 2009 1-inch grub by The WRrght Bait Company is dynamite.If you can find them. ;D ;D ;D The 4" frog from The Wright Bait Company, as well as the 5" Salty Slugs are fantastic baits. In fact, the 5" Salty Slug does better for me than the Senko. Quote
CODbasser Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Case makes some nice baits. I am not sure if they are just local or a small national company.

Super User SirSnookalot Posted June 8, 2009 Super User Posted June 8, 2009 In Florida a hot name is D.O.A., intended for saltwater but many of us use it for freshwater and does a great job. Quote
