Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone had a chance yet to try out the Live Target Hallow Body Sunfish yet?

Thoughts? Reviews?

 

I watched the video while looking at it at BPS.  Looks very interesting!

I have one on backorder from TW. I cannot wait to get it and try it out- seems perfect for the small pond I usually fish. It's loaded with bluegill and pumpkinseed and no real shad presence at all.

Check out this video if you haven't seen it:

Looks sweet, Im definitely gonna get one!

I got one for Christmas and I think it looks great. However I won't be using it for another 5 months, but it seems like it should be a solid bait.

I got one saturday. It was the only one left so I grabbed it. Pretty excited to use it this summer! 

I have thrown them for 2 outings now. They walk very easily, have a unique tale swishing action. I have not caught a fish on one yet, but I will continue to throw one. The only con for my liking is the fact that you have to squeeze it every other cast due to water seeping in. Bugs me because this doesn't happen to their  Live Target frogs. I think this bait will be very popular. I know come this Spring this bait will shine for me.

Is it ok To hope you got a bad one? Squeezing water every few casts wouLd certainly get old.

Nope, didn't get a bad one because I bought 2 different colors and I threw them both with similar results. 

I fished some heavy pads with it but I do notice it does take on water. Unlike the frogs.

I'm still waiting on mine, but like others mentioned, I probably won't be able to give this much of a workout until at least April.

Cabela's listed it as a new bait.
