I just picked up 4 DB minnows and 2 Shad Masters at Dicks for $3 each, and think I got a pretty good deal. I've never fished with these lures, but they seem to be comparable with other nice japanese baits. The hooks on the Shadmasters sucked, already traded them out for VMC barbarians, but the hooks on the DB Minnows were very nice. Anybody used either of these two baits?

The DB Minnow reminds me or a slender LC Pointer, and the Shadmaster reminds me of an X-Rap Shad without the feather dressing... Will be trying them out tonight.

I got one of the DB Minnows in Bluegill for the same price last week. It looked too good to pass up at that price. I haven't tried it, but the hooks and the paint job are very nice.

I bought a DB Minnow and a few peanuts at Dicks for 2.99 also.  At $3.00 I won't mind throwing these into heavy cover and losing a few.  They do look to be pretty good quality, but I haven't used them yet.

They aren't Japanese's quality but they are pretty nice for the money
