Live Target Swimbaits

Featured Replies

Anyone love the Live Target Swimbaits?

 

I've had great luck on them here in the south east for bass and striper. 

They are just too stiff.  I have tried boiling them and cutting slits in them to get better action but they just dont do anything for me or the fish.  

I bought the 1/2 oz goby ones this winter. They look pretty darn realistic and the paddletail seems to have decent action so I hope it works out for me. If it does I think I’ll buy the 1oz 4.5 inch ones. 
 

I also saw the swimbait Suckers on sale at cabela’s and I’m tempted to buy them. Look like they would slay the pike and musky here, probably the bigger smallmouth and walleye too.

I had a couple and they were awful. Laid over on their side no matter how slow I reeled and so stiff the tails barely moved. They look amazing and performed poorly, which is on par with everything else I've ever bought from LiveTarget.

I have tried a couple of their lures and the smaller swimbaits and not luck on any of them.  I can't say why but they just have not produced at all. 

I bought a few and they were trash! Zero action and never got a sniff on them. 

I got a 3" bluegill swimbait (top hook) as a gift so I felt obliged to catch at least one fish on it. I was upside suprised -  I've caught enough hefty fish across different lakes that I bought more of them. For some reason the orange belly has been consistently better than the yellow, regardless of location. There's probably better options for nearly every other bait they make though.
