throwback Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I talked my local bait shop into getting some Rage Tail baits. I told them to get the Space Monkey, Smokin Rooster, Toad, and Shad. Wish now that I'd told them to get the Craw. Is it okay to ask which colors work best in general? I have good luck with pumpkin and watermelon baits, so I told them to get some of those. Never fished a crawfish bait of any kind before, so I may be getting them to get some of those if the Rage Tails sell good for them. Quote
Punkinseedfyretailz Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 anything rage is a good thing. great products. junebug works best for me, anacondas are some of my favorite worms, and nothing compares to a rage toad, they are ridiculous, well except maybe the shad... Quote

Black / blue is awesome as well. Baby Rage Craw is deadly... The Thumper is awesome. Basically if its Rage... it works. Quote
BrianSnat Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 I've been doing great with the Space Monkey this year, watermelon red flake. Last summer I did great with the Anaconda. I'm down to my last two Space Monkeys and totally out of Anacondas. The local Dicks sells all of the Rage Tails except, you guessed it, Anaconda and Space Monkey. Went to a Dicks about 40 miles away. Same thing. I also checked out a local tackle specific store. The only Rage Tails they carried were the Chunk, Thumper and Smoking Rooster. They have every Zoom imaginable, probably every Yamato made, but only a few Rage Tails. Have to order some from BPS, but I hate paying for the shipping. It's like I'm paying for an extra pack and getting nothing. 1 Quote

matstone7 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Your local store could do great with the complete line of Rage Tails especially the craw, you got them off to a great start though. As for colors and the craw; GP, Double Header, Dirty Craw & Falcon Craw are my favorites. Quote

Punkinseedfyretailz Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Yeah, but thy're a buck extra a pack. Get 5 packs and its a wash. Then order 6 or more, you need different colors anyway, and you want two different lures, so 3 or 4 of each kind in different colors Quote

krisjack69 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Got my Rage toads today. Looking forward to trying them out. Oh yeah what color did u get.Where are u going to use them at.I bet bass at Paradise pfa would love those things.I went to my local tackle shop after I almost passed out fishing in the heat.I fished from 6 to around 1 pm yesterday anyways all they had at the store that was rage was one color shad and one color rage toad.Crazy.

L a r r y Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 If you guys checkout BTD, which is a sponsor here, you can pick up the monkeys for a decent price. Also, last week they were having a free shipping deal going on for anything priced over $50. Give them a shout and see if they will still honor that for being a BR member? Couldn't hurt to give it a shot. I ordered a gang load of craws last week and I got them on Monday, I am starting to grow a fond attachment to BTD ) Quote

I got the green pumpkin/pearl. Quote
krisjack69 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I got the green pumpkin/pearl. That should work.I never really caught a thing on a toad but they have blown up on em.Few days ago I went fishing using junebug trick worm over the pads with 8 lbs line needless to say I lost a couple of fish from line breakage.I wouldn't have if I had a boat probably could've just scooped it up.Oh well I guess I need 65 lbs braid and a stouter rod.I have a 7 ft MH Quantum Tour Edition Pt rod that is specs are for slow rolling spinnerbaits and Carolina rigs.I need to throw carolina rigs more I think but I dont think it would work very well with all they grass and and stuff around..I would be doing nothing but picking stuff off my baits and weights.
