Creature Baits

Featured Replies

So when do you use Creature Baits? I have never tried them and was just curious to see what there uses are and which ones are the better ones? I like Yum's products. I have their hawg tail bait or something like that. Just t-rigged or carolina? I am just ignorant to these baits but very curious

I've never done anything else buy t-rig them.  Normally use the zoom brush hogs, but I've got a surplus of hogg assassins here right now.  Good style of lure, it can mimic a lot of things and can be worked a ton of different ways.

I always use a Rage Tail Space Monkey with a 1/4oz to 3/8oz weight depending on the depth I'm fishin.

I totally forgot to add the space monkey.  I haven't caught anything on one yet, but I'll be damned if they don't look good in the water.

So zoom, and rage tail space monkey

Texas rigged, anything other brands? Just flipping them around weeds and stuff. Slowly working them on the bottom or dancing them?

I fish the Kreature weightless everywhere I fish a senko with great success.

Zoom super hogs, Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver, etc.  I use these for pitching to weeds/wood cover with a 3/8-1/2 oz weight depending on wind/cover.  I normally pitch it out let it hit bottom, twitch is 2-3 times and flip it back out.  Sometimes the fish will hit it on the fall as a reaction strike.  Sometimes they will hit it when you are hopping/twitching it.

Are the sweet beavers at BPS by chance I don't usually order stuff online but we have a BPS a/b a hour from us. I like YUM, ZOOM, & SK the most for my baits they make quality stuff IMO for the price. Some of their stuff is junk but do like a good chunk of their products

BPS has "beaver style baits" ... BUT not the one they are referring to above... Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver is basically found online, I've seen some dick's carry them but not all.

But if you get a beaver the R.I. beaver is a great one... good colors too.

i t-rig beavers all the time.

but..... you can put any creature bait on a c-rig and whoop up on em.

To me the netbait b-bug looks just like the sweet beaver.  Im sure there is something different but i cant tell from the pictures.  Maybe size?

Put the creature bait on a c-rig with an 18 to 24 inch leader and a 1/2 oz weight.  Drag it around on the bottom in about 4 to 6 ft of water in spawning flats.  Make sure you pull to the side when working the bait and also set the hook to the side.  We caught 33 fish this way this past wknd.  The best fish was 9+ lbs.  Our best 5 was 25+ lbs.  Good luck.

A new bait I'm excited to use, and will use this weekend for the first time is the Xcite Raptor Tail Craw.  It has a body like a beaver, but it has big pincher and tentacles at the end.  Another feature is that it is loaded with scent, not salt, so when you stop the bait on a bed, or however you are fishing the bait will rise off the bottom like its in defense mode.  Should be great to carolina rig to with its buoyancy too.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Roboworm creature..
