A few years ago I watched Aaron Martens use the BassTrix minnow.  If I recall, he said that he really liked this bait, but I haven't heard anything about it since.

For those who've used it, is it worth buying?  Whats the lowdown on this thing.

Sorry i cant help you on a review but man those things are sweet looking, definitely should work, i personally am not good at rigging those type of lures properly

Sorry...  I haven't used them...  Do you know how Aaron Martens fished this minnow?  Some type of jighead maybe?

SHHHH!!! Those are a California secret!  

The basstrix line of baits are top-notch, they fill a spot in the market that no one else can even touch. Those that you linked to are only one of the lines he makes, some are thinner, some have boot-tails like swimbaits, etc...

Do they work? Well, Fish Chris' 18 lber ate one! I've caught a TON of fish on them as well, just no 18's.  ;D You can a handful of things with them, stand-up jighead, ball/arkie head, dropshot, or tube head and swim them. (They're hollow like a tube)

Good luck!

I use them during the spawn alot. The paddle tail fat minnow is a great swimbait for swimming around bedding areas when they will not hit anything else. I usually slide a 1/8 oz jighead inside.

Those are great baits.  They are hollow like a tube and you can rig a jighead in them.  They are also great on drop shots, Crigs, split shot rigs and about any way else you can rig them.

Good bait in clear water.

Thanks,

Well, now the question is : WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US SOONER!!!

Haha I love these BassTrix. They are amazing drop shot baits. Also work really well for inshore salwater.
