Livetarget Baitball. ..am I The Only One....

Featured Replies

I have quite a few of their lures and have had pretty good luck with them.. They seem to be made well.. But the bottom line is the best lure in the tackle box is the one your catching fish with  LOL 

When I first saw them arrive, my first thought was to simply glue some Eyes on a Smithwick Rogue, Or Rapala Xrap, or any lure with a finish I like...I am not impressed with how the baitball looks, and I doubt fish will strike it due to the fact it's supposed to be a pair of baitfish. Why not just use a bait in similar size, and I am sure it will catch fish as Live Target Lures are made well and if fished properly will suspend and roll with a good action..I'll Pass on this one, as I still have not tried the half dozen Scatter Raps in my box yet.....Now I am curious to see if I like them.

 

I have become a Sebile Guy and the Flatt Shad could be the best Lipless crank I have ever thrown, especially the suspending 77mm model with glitter cavities for scale falling off effect, and its ability to stop dead in its track, and just suspend vertical...Only dived 2' right over weeds...Must have lure, and it lacks rattles but draws strikes from far away...Splasher for topwater popper, Crankster for Square bill, Koolie Minnow, Ghost Walker, Magic Swimmer...Worth the price in my opinion....They can be found cheap if you look on ebay and at clearance racks.

I thought it seemed and looked like a great idea. Then I found some footage of them underwater and I thought it still just looked like one crankbait and not multiple baits. I'm sure they will work and we'll see some pics soon enough of some fish caught on them but I don't think I'll be buying up any of them.

I think they will work pretty well, I plan on getting a few of them for some clear water lakes I fish, the jerkbait, and the square bill should produce nicely. I think it just another bait the fish have not seen, so early on they may be very good. lol but maybe not...

I bought a couple, yes they are kinda expensive, but if you're using it for what it is, a small bait presentation in a bigger package then yes it's going to work.  How many times have you seen 3-5lb bass run up on a school of 1" glass minnows, or crash a small pack of tiny shad.  This is where this bait is going to pay off when you can't get a reaction out of a standard crank because they are keyed in on a certain bait.  From yrs of being a charter captain, you see schools of tuna eating "no see ums' and they won't even look at a sardine, but flip a 3" chovy at them and they inhale it.  Same principal.
