Witch bug style baits are best strike king river bugs or yum woolly bugs

Between the two choices given, ill go with the 4.5 wooly bug. I've used both and dont really have any complaints

That being said, I feel that there are better beaver baits out there

Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver gets my vote - plus they make a small one and a wide one.

+1 on the Sweet Beaver.

Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver gets my vote - plus they make a small one and a wide one.

Another vote for R.I.. They flat out catch bass - either species. However, I suspect most are on par with these plastics, if similarly shaped.

Another for ri sweet Beaver

I have the up most confidence in the R.I. beavers, and thats my brand of choice.............but when I have been out, I have caught plenty on the Yum, Strike King, and other assorted brands. They all work, pick one YOU LIKE and be done with it.

I really like the Strike King KVD Rodent. It has a ton of coffee scent on it and the fish seem to hang on to it forever. I'm a lot better with hard baits personally so I'm not as good at getting those quick hook sets, having an extra second or two really made a difference for me. I also Like the RI beaver and the missle baits D bomb as well.

My top producers are RI 4.20's and missile baits d bombs.

I am partial to the kinky beaver more than sweet beaver the extra tentacles have a lot of extra action

I like D Bombs, Sweet beavers, and the netbait b bug

I prefer the Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver as well. 

Thanks a lot guys. That's about the hundredth time I've seen sweet beavers mentioned so I had to go look. Hum I can use it on my jigs or by Itself. I like creature baits. I'm sold. Gotta add some to my wish list.

My top 3 would be the SK rodent both the full and baby sized, RI sweet beaver, and the MB D-bomb. The d-bomb is the most durable of the three while the SK rodent is the least durable. They are great Texas rigged and used for jig trailers when you want less action but to add a bit more bulk to create a larger profile. Also don't rule out the SK rodent rigged weightless for shallow rocks. It is dense enough to do so effectively. I have 3 good sized totes with just these 3 types of beaver style baits in them. Probably around 60 packs. Easily some of my most productive baits.

The sweet beaver is also my choice.  Ill throw it with a #2 gama ewg hook and 1/32 weight.  I know allot of guys flip with this bait but they are also good casting in the heavy slop and worked over the top.  Its a sweet little bait.

I like D Bombs, Sweet beavers, and the netbait b bug

x2, these are my three favorites as well. I'm liking the D-Bomb best currently.

Hard to beat sweet beaver anytime!

I personally use the SK Rodent, the Yum woolie bully, and the havoc pit boss... all are good baits

The Sweet Beaver is the only plastic I use now for punching mats.

Mike

Oh those two originally mention..... the Yum

 

Like most I am a RI beaver guy..... I never liked beavers till I used them.  The kinky beaver in california 420 was killer for me last year

Gonna have to go with the Berkely Havoc Pit Boss as my go to for sure. I like the strike king rodent jr for a smaller profile option.

The pit boss is my go to bait for trigs, jig trailers and almost anything else.

Without a doubt I would say Yum Wooly Bug.  That being said I think even they do not hold a  candle to the Berkley Havoc Skeet Reese Pit Boss..... This bad boy T-Rigged is LETHAL 

My two favorite beaver type baits are the Reaction Innovations sweet beaver and the Strike King Rodent. The rodent is a lot softer and not as durable as the sweet beaver though.

I was surprised it took so long for the pit boss to be mentioned, very good action.  I'll throw another one in the mix that is on par with the pit boss.

 

 The Havoc Devil Spear is a deadly bait and don't be afraid to split it's tail.

Im fond of the pit boss also
