Damiki Hydra - $4.99

The Damiki Hydra features twenty-four ball-tipped tentacles. The balls at the end of each appendage allow the Hydra's tentacles to float up and fan out, moving with the current and giving the Hydra a more life-like appearance and a larger profile. The body of the Hydra is perfect for a variety or rigging applications. Deadly Texas-rigged, used as a jig trailer, etc., the Hydra is an innovative bait, new to the US from Damiki of Korea.

Comments: this bait just got me in the money,2nd tournament of the year,it gets bit,very soft though,i did add scent to the bag,maybe that did it,1 fish per bait.

Comments: Was skeptical to buy these at 1st but, saw them at a fishin show, and got a good deal on em, so I picked up a few bags....They are soft, but I managed to make one last most of the day....Got a ton of hits and caught a few on the 4" June-bug color....They have great action and can be rigged several different ways...I can see where people would think they are not durable, they are super soft and flimsy but worth the money! They also make a decent trailer on a stand-up jig or a swim-jig...Great for high pressured fishin areas! Love em!

Comments: Very soft with great action. Just not durable enough. Tear very easy.  You will go thru a package in no time.

Comments: Tried a pack of these today in Junebug 3in. They got me a couple bass, and they didnt get all torn up. I'm impressed with  the action, I bet the 4inch wiggles around even more. I'm not sure how other folks were rigging it but I just tossed it on a worm set up, 1/8 bullet weight 2/0 hook, texas rigged it and the hook was big enough to come between the tentacles and tuck neatly into the body. So no unnecessary tearing from rigging. Tossed out it out and treated it like a worm hopping it on the bottom, bass kept attacking it. Will buy more.

Comments: good looking swimbaits, wish they came in 8-9 in

Comments: Really like this bait in the 3" size. I use it rigged on a stand up jig with the spring screw type attachment and seem to get a couple fish per bait before biting off a 1/4" and re-rigging for a few more.  I also use super glue which makes each one last longer. Only used the green pumpkin because it kept working. It was very effective in weeds for large mouth and hopping down drop-offs for small mouth all on Canadian shield lakes.

From: James: PA

Comments: Biggest problem is that they rip apart easy.  Caught many at Havasu this spring on beds but only about 2 per lure.  Damiki makes great lures but these just don't last.  I tried many types of hooks but still rip easy.

From: Shawn: Orange, CA

Comments: Durability a Major issue. The bass did nail it and I will most likely buy more but I was averaging 1 bait to 1 bass in the boat.

From: Adam: Ontario, Canada

Comments: ive fished it on a spot remover hook the baits work well but they don't last long at all.

From: Adam: Nashville, AR

Comments: Looks great in the water. I have had some issues with finding an ideal rig for it. Very similar to a tube but a little more versatile.
Still on the fence about this bait and I find myself going back to grubs. Worth getting a pack but I can't say if it out performs other grubs.

From: Nathan: Kingston, Ontario

Comments: not durable at all

From:  Derek: Waco, TX

Comments: Awesome bait.  I love to use it on a shakey head hook.  The tentacles float and wiggle around even when the bait is sitting still.  Great bait for bedding bass.  Great bait to swim.  Great bait to do just about anything.  Very highly recommended!

From: Joe: Vineland, NJ

Comments: this bait is one the best plastic bait ever made but wish it came in watermelon red-blk with red tentacles but fixed by buying both your color and red and cutting the red tentacle of and meating them onto your fave colors if you use my tip your fish catching rate will double good fishing

From: Shawn: Ontario, Canada

Comments: this is the best flipping/pitching bait on the market, bar none! pick your size and color, use your favorite rig and toss this amazing bait into the tules and weeds. it is a bass catcher. the stand-up jigheads in 4/0 to 5/0 work perfectly or texas rigged with a pegged or screw-in bullet wt. is also great--

From: Wes: Salinas, CA

Comments: This bait flat out catches fish.  It can be used in many different applications: flipping, pitching, dragging, just to name a few.  I've experimented with a number of techniques and the hydra excels at all of them.  On the fall that bait can tantalize even the most finicky fish into biting.  Durability can be an issue but it is definitely outweighed by its fish catching ability.

From: Destin: Erie, PA

Comments: Bait has great action and catches fish. Only complaint is that it is not durable , but ability to catch fish overcomes that downfall! Worth trying!
