So, I was watching the "live" coverage of the FLW Lake Cumberland Tournament and Scott Martin was using what he called a "Weight-Bait" it looked like a top water jerk bait that he slowly cranked. The movement was as if it swam from side to side. I did a little digging on google and here and could not find a "weight-bait". Does anyone know what else this lure is called.

he was probably saying  "WAKE bait."  A crank that runs close enough to the surface to create a large wake.

Like @basscrusher said, you probably heard "wake-bait". 

 

CCR Bad moon rising: "...there's a bathroom on the right"

 

The Clash: "Lock the cash box, lock the cash box"

 

BeeGees: "Bald headed woman, bald headed woman to me..."

You guys were totally right. I appreciate the help.

Elton John - "Hold me closer, Tony Danza"

 

KISS - "I want to rock & roll all night, and part of every day"

 

TOTO - "I guess it rains down in Africa"

 she's not from the UP, she still had the weird accent though! It's a lot better now after 10 years, but I have to retrain her to speak normal after she goes up for a visit.

He was using a long A, not technically a wake bait, but they work great as one when reeled slowly. Its a staple for striped bass in the salt on calm days.

Technically, Scott is from south Florida.  Most "southerners" don't consider those folks "southerners", they're just from Florida.  :-)

Very true, Florida is a melting pot that stretches clear into Canada  (many Ontarions in our community)

Among other things; Florida is dubbed "The land of Newly-Weds & Nearly-Deads"

Not to worry, many nearly-deads outlive the newly-weds.

They hate when that happens

We don't claim those people as Michiganders.  They rout for the Green Bay Packers.  Puke!!
