Comments: If you enjoy gut wrenching heartbreak than I highly recommend this bait. The top hook is just so comically small compared to the bulky swimbait that fish can effortlessly shake it out their mouths, that is if you can even hook them at all. Lost a 5 and half pounder at least on this bait right at my feet, along with a few other 3s and 4s.

Comments: I wanted to like this swimbait. Its action is nice and runs true. I watched TacticalBassin talk about how good these baits were for the spawn and I wanted to give them a shot. Just like some of the other reviews my problem is with the hook. I have only been able to land 1 out of 5 fish. I honestly believe the only reason for that was that the 5 pounder inhaled the lure and the hook was buried in the roof of the mouth. Any hook sets on the the lip area the fish can head shake it right out. I believe it needs a bigger hook to be really effective.

Comments: Absolutely amazing bait! I caught my pb largemouth on this bait while sight fishing. I highly recommend using this for the bigger females on beds

Comments: I caught my PB large mouth (5.16lbs 22") slow rolling this lure. Super lifelike with incredible action. Hands down my new favorite swimbait. (Also I live in Upstate NY so 5.16lbs is a huge bass here)

Comments: Seriously the best budget swimbaits that exist. Period. A couple years ago I laughed at Savage Gear baits.... this thing is top notch. Nearly Huddleston grade. Has killed it for me for late fall in West Michigan. I LOVE the 4" ghost kill color!

Comments: These things are absolute bass candy.Zero problems with hookups.Zero problems with durability. The action is so realistic that it's amazing.I caught 12 LMBs on this the first time I took it out and they all inhaled it (pond fishing).

Comments:I noticed Sam L's comment below me and wanted to add a modification I make to this bait. I just use a bolt cutters and cut off the top hook all together and instead use the Butch Brown rig (google it) and run 100lb braid from the line tie to a Mustad Treble that I bury in the swimbait's back. That way when you set the hook the bait swings free and they can't leverage the bait's weight against you and that small stock top hook can't cost you any more bites!

Comments: I love this lure, but it has its drawbacks. My local lake is a man-made reservoir -- it's your typical california clear-water deep bottomed reservoir. It's made from a dam'ed creek and has no natural forage for the bass other than baby bass, baby carp, bluegill and crappie (whatever is left of the native steelhead too I guess -- they are sadly mostly extinct). The bass are known to be extremely temperamental, and have learned to go for crappie / bluegill caught by catch-and-release shore anglers (drop one back after you reel it in, and a big bass is often waiting). So to fool these finicky fish, I went hunting for a very good look-alike for crappie / bluegill, and this did the trick. I got a huge hookup on the white gill which looks sort of like a crappie, and three hookups on the standard gill pattern. But I only landed 1 out of 4 of my hits (all were large fish since this isn't a small bait) -- I think it's because the hook up top is very small and has little clearance from the body of the bait. What that means is -- if you hook up, set the hook and keep the fish super pinned until it's in your hand. One jump and the fish will get off this lure. If I had words for improvement for Savage Gear, it'd be 1. Make a crappie pattern, I'd buy so many! 2. Maybe change hook placement or add optional tail treble? I'm sad to be getting off so many large fish.

Comments:Got one of these during the spawn and it caught fish. The action on this thing is amazing. Would highly recommend.
