I finally was able to try out the sweet beavers and man what a great bait. these plastics have produced better than fat ikas up here for me. their action is incredible and the bass just can't help themselves. if any of you guys haven't tried them i would recommend you do.

Hey there, fellow Rochesterian, I agree that the Sweet Beavers are pretty good!

I just picked up a pack but havn't cast one yet. how do you work them?

What brand are you using?

"what brand are you using?"

-reaction innovations created the sweet beaver and some other uniquely named but very effective baits.

"how do you use them?"

-i rig them texas weightless with a 3/0 EWG or 4/0 offset worm or EWG hook and fish them like a fat ika or senko: when you cast (spinning or baitcasting), slow the line before it lands so the bait enters the water softly then let it fall to the bottom. work it through the strike zone with a light double jerk to pull it off the bottom and let it fall again. repeat until out of the strike zone and then throw again. watch your line carefully throughout because it will show even the softest strike.

I remember seeing these things at Gander Mountain.  I had a package in my hand the other day but decided to put them back because I already had so much other stuff. Guess I'll have to give them a try. What colors are working for you?

sweet beavers are a staple flippin bait

i've had good luck with their color "dirty sanchez" which is watermelonseed/chartreuse laminate

Road Kill is a great color.  It's like a watermelon/pumpkin with some gold dust in it.
