I was recently in the French River area of Ontario fishing for Bass. We had a great trip and enjoyed the fishing very much. During our trip I met a gentleman who was staying at the same camp and on the last day he was there he left a Soft Plastic Bass Bait on the side of my boat. He talked how it was the best top water slop bait available.

It was a soft plastic bait in the shape of a Rat of Mouse that needed to be rigged with your own hookpprobably a 5/0 Hook. It was similar to the type of bait af say a Horny Toad only in the shape of the rat.

I have searched throughout the internet to try and find out what or whaer this bait could be had, but after two weeks no luck. I thought I would ask the bass fishinf community as I am sure someone out there knows what the name or manufacture of this bait is.

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

Looks like a custom poured bait to me.

The gentleman told me the manufacturer but I cannot remember.

Must be a local company. You might try a Google search for bait companies based out of that area.

Snag Proof Rat or Mouse?

It is a snag proof lure only a rat or mouse.

It looks like a top water mouse made by ZETABAIT, out of Foley, Alabama. No longer in business .

They also made the Ding a Ling worm and the Flapping' Dad crayfish. Great Baits!! Sometimes you can find them on EBay.

Hope this helps...

I throw the snag proof moss mouse and boss rat a lot its def not either of them

It's a ZETABAIT 5" Swamp Rat.

Its a zetabait.

There's some packs of the white on eBay right now.

Zetabait company was sold and is back in business.I ordered 5pkgs of gillrakers from them last year.A much better swim worm than Culprit although I use both.Address is:9559 Hickory Street South,Foley,Alabama 36535 phone334-943-1902

Thanks everyone for all the help, as I really do appreciate it.

I have tried calling the number above with no success, I have looked them up and tried another couple of numbers but no success. I am wondering if they are still in business and if so how to get a hold of them. Anyone know??

Thanks

Dave
