Anyone fish with these brand of baits? Heard a lot of good things about them, I personally only use the sweet beavers right now but i'm interested in some other plastics they have, I really like the design of the pocket rocket worm they have. 

The Skinny Dipper and the Little Dipper are both effective swimbaits.

Both as stand alone baits and as a swim jig trailer.

Manbearpig is legit. Well made, good action. Durable yet supple. 

 

I have a vixen ive never used and cant because its supposedly worth $600 Canadian for some reason so I should just sell it.

The Little Dipper is very underrated. Durable baits and very effective on an Owner Flashy Swimmer w/ cps

Vixen top water lure is 2nd to none.

The sweet beaver is my go to for flippin and punching, and for some of my jig trailers as well.

skinny dipper and little dipper are good baits. pocket rocket is a really good wacky rigged bait.

Smallie Beaver for me, and the pocket rocket is my new wacky rig bait!

I picked up a few bags of the MBP on sale, where and why are you tossing these over say a Sweet Beaver or Craw Creature bait?

 

Thanks!

All I know is they have some of the best names for baits and colors. "Pocket Rocket, Dirty Sanchez, Tramp Stamp" Someone working there has a great sense of humor.

Just received some Pocket Rockets in the Violator color yesterday!  Hoping to violate some bass with them today after work!  haha

Supposedly they're bringing the Vixen back, too.

Sweet Beaver.....Why call it a "beaver" I always thought it was maybe "dirty" sounding, but it has become a standard name for that style bait. It certainly doesn't look like a beaver that makes dams.

I have a bag of sweet and kinky beavers in the color ‘black light’ that is probably one of the coolest colors in any soft plastic I own

The first RI package I remember had a chick on it. So you may not be far off

 

I’ve used most of the Reaction Innovations plastics, and latched onto 2 of their baits. 

Their Skinny Dipper is an excellent soft-swimbait, particularly for numbers of bass.

The Sweet Beaver is a very good punching trailer, on the order of Missile Baits D Bomb.

 

The name “beaver”, no doubt refers to the broad, flattened ‘Beavertail’.

Just bought Reaction Innovations Pocket Rocket in Green Punpkin . Looks good in reviews but I have only made a few cast with it .

Best of both worlds. I've found it penetrates well like a beaver but has more action from the appendages without them getting torn off or stuck like some craws. The appendages are also large enough to avoid getting bit off by panfish.  

 

I can't say why but it does a good job staying weedless texsposed but hook up ratio doesnt seem to suffer.

Really? I've never seen an original bag.

RI sponsored pro woman bass anglers.

For those who use the Pocket Rocket, do you like the 4.5" or 5.5" better? Is it a pain getting a wacky ring over it? Do they (especially the 5.5") fit in the wacky rig tool?

 Totally agree as it's always been my most consistent walk the dog bait. I have some of the originals and have no plans on selling them.

This is my other favorite soft stick bait besides the Senko, I have only used the 5.5 ".  I use the G7 wacky tool to install the O rings. 

 

Here is a link to the G7 tool  https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/G7_Worm_Tube_Pliers/descpage-G7WTP.html

 

My preferred O ring is this one made by Mustad.  https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Mustad_Wacky_O-Ring_Replacement_Pack_25pk/descpage-MWO.html
