Title: Re: Savage gear craw
Post by mastertangler on Oct 24th, 2014 at 12:27pm
Ha! They pulled one over on you Jax........Those aren't lures but rather like Gummi Bears.......you sit and eat the whole bucket while watching Kansas City put a whippin on San Fran tonight. Tough for me to root against San Fran as they seem like a decent sort of club.........But I like Kansas City (swell town!) and besides, they haven't won it in a long time.

I couldn't wait any longer and broke from work to plop the Savage gear lures in the canal in front of my house. The swim baits are different than I thought. Most swim baits have a methodical cadence to them on the retrieve......not so with the savage gear baits. They tend to do some unexpected things. Not sure what to think yet.......I know I like what they do on a fall, definitely have that injured look.

The shrimp looks like the ultimate finesse bait. The TPE plastic is unlike anything I have ever seen before. Very tough stuff. I need to get the biggest size for salt water use but the 4" model should be a smallie killer deluxe.

The crab? Who knows? I'm thinking the thing is going to get hung a lot in the oysters. I was a bit surprised at how good it looked just free swimming.......a mini frisbee gliding through the water with claws and legs waggling along.... time will tell.

The crawfish is super impressive. I think the only thing it really lacks is a bit of noise. Sound carries very well in water and that armor plating craw daddies have must make some noise. Maybe some tiny BB's in a glass capsule inserted into the craw might give it the right noise (yes they make it).

I'm hoping this stuff pans out as throwing a 12 ft cast net or buying 100 shrimp is either hard on your body or hard on your wallet.
