Lucky Craft Splash Tail Problems

Featured Replies

I recently bought this lure thinking it looked nice and would work well. Although I have had two problems with it so far. First problem is I was using this lure with 15lb braid and every cast the braid would wrap around the front blade of the lure like 8-20times. Not only did this make the lure have worse action but It was also a pain in the *** getting out, and it happened on every single cast. Now I don't know if this would happen if I was using mono but do any of you guys know how to solve this problem? The 2nd problem was one of the eyes of the lure came off. I don't know how because I don't recall hitting anything with the lure, but thats my luck :-/. So can I send the lure back to Lucky Craft and will they fix it, if so is there a fee?

I never use braid with topwaters.  The line is too limp and causes problems like the on you are having.  Switch to mono.  I use this topwater from time to time and never have problems.

As for the eye, i have only had one LC bait lose an eye in all the years I have used them.

I'd take it back to the retailer first if possible, next I'd email Lucky Craft.

Brad

I use braid on all of my topwater rods and had good luck with the Splash tail.  I do a tangle from time to time.  I have used it with sufix braid, power pro and berkley gorilla tough all in 15-20 lb.  I like the braid because it floats and it takes very little rod movements to get a bait working.  I do prefer the Wake tail to the Splash tail though,  I just like it better.  If you live by a Cablea's they will exchange it no matter where you got it.

Do I need a receipt to exchange it at cabelas? And are you sure they don't care where I bought it?

No they don't require a reciept for an exchange.  I work for Cabela's and one day I had a sonar returned to my department with a Bass Pro packing slip in it.
