Roumba?

Featured Replies

Hey guys, my buddy gave me a white roumba today and I was just wonderin' if I would fish where, and how I fish my normal shallow cranks,

thanks in advance!

You can do that. The Roumba is more a surface wake bait than a diving crank. You can get it to dive, but you have to crank it pretty hard to get it to dive. It will dive just under the surface and has a nutso action. It will feel like you already have a small fish on. But it excels on the surface. Use it where you would use a topwater or wake bait. Cast it over grass and around structure. In my experience, a slow to moderate retrieve is best.

The Roumba is a great bait - may favorite wake bait.  I don't have one in white.  My most productive Roumba is in the transparent crawfish color.

Thanks Micro, are there any other colors that I should consider buying? The bluegill one looks like it would do real good around here.

I've caught some fish on all of mine, except my new rattling models. (Haven't really used those to much yet.) I think all the colors have some merit. The black is good in the evenings. The silver shad is decent on brighter days. The frog, bluegill and bass have produced well for me. The transparent crawdad color is the one that has produced the most for me. It seems to produce anytime there is a topwater bite.

The frog colored one is my favorite, just because it is so darned pretty.

Nice, I see you have changed your avatar to it  ;D I'll eventually get one of each color, but seeing as I'm a broke teenager I think it'll take a little while, maybe one a month, two if the bait monkey's on me  ;)

They are a bit pricey.  But they do produce.  If I were to only have one, it would be the transparent crawdad color.
