Havoc Pit Bass Help

Featured Replies

I know alot of you guys really like this bait, but I have had little success with it. I want to give it another try, and was wondering what kind of set-up you use to fish this bait. ie; line size, hook size, spinning reel or baitcaster. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Typically I throw it on a 1/4oz tungsten weight, a 4/0 EWG hook on a casting reel with 15# McCoy copoly

Same here only i like 20# flouro on my t rigs

I have been know to use 3/16th 1/4 and 3/8 tungsten depending on where im fishin...only dont be afraid to use on a jig or a c rig!

It sounds silly, but try rigging it weightless and buzz it across the surface. It makes a great topwater, and has a different sound from a frog or a buzzbait.

That's a cool deal ! What about a Biffle Head also ?

I've even thrown it on a split shot with a 3/0 EWG hook and had success. Just keep trying. Once you get bit, remember what you did and try it again.

I use em on back of jigs or trig them when the bite is hot.... On tougher days I will use better baits which cost more...

I haven't tried it, but I know it has to work.

Oh does it! Carolina Rig the small ones for smallies.

Try it on a chatterbait too.

Awesome T rig bait. Weights depending on water depth. 3/0 gammy ewg.

I've used it as a chunk trailer on jigs that also get bit. I just bite it down a little or the ones that get mangled from the T rig bite then just poke it through like a piece of pork.

1/8 oz bullet weight t-rigged on a 4/0 ewg.

They make great jig trailers when swimming a jig

They're very versatile baits. I like to fish them with either a 1/4 or 3/8 ounce bullet weight and 4/0 EWG hook or on a same sized swinging football head. Rig them sideways on a bladed jig and they make a terrific trailer. They also work well on big shakyheads, C rigs, and work like a finesse buzzbait if you fish them weightless.
