And then, those darn speciality baits
.....known only to your area?
Some lakes have that secret color or style lure that all the locals know produces fish.. so heres one I wonder if any out there have heard of ..a Sweeper... a plastic craw imitator that has a unusual fall...I found out about it fishing the river and have seen several blogs of river fishermen that still list it as a fav..my fav is brown craw with chartruse tips [img] http://img200.echo.cx/img200/3610/pbsweep6oy.jpg [/img] |

Re: And then, those darn speciality baits
that looks something like a leech bait i have seen. they look like they would be great for a river, moving in the current.

Re: And then, those darn speciality baits
That pic does looks just like a reaper doesnt it?
The sweeper is a hand poured plastic that is much wider like a leaf, and when its rigged texas style is falls from side to side "sweeping" the area kinda like a leaf falls in autumn...the reaper is a tad narrower..and like I said, this may very well be a local bait.. I used to find them in Lawerenceburg Ind. tackle shop that sold a ton of Zoom plastics and many many locals plastic 'erms and grubs etc.. I guess 10 years goes by fast .lol thats the last time I bought any,, they were real salty and I liked the feel of it, just something dif, i guesss for those skinny ohio river bass :P |

Re: And then, those darn speciality baits
The original manufacturer and name for that bait is the Salty Reefer by Mojo Lures, they are one of those west coast ( Kaliforny to be exact ) baits designed to be fished in the ultra clear ultra deep Californian lakes, I´ve been fishing with them for well over 15 years and caught very good fish with them.

Re: And then, those darn speciality baits
Yup ya just rig em texas style or carolina it like a french fry
I guess the biggest dif. I see in those reapers vs. the sweeper is that the sweeper has no neck to speak of. Its like most baits, here today and gone tomorrow till some pro scores a hit with it and 2 weeks later endores it with a new sponcers boat lol |

Re: And then, those darn speciality baits
Never used 'em much, but they're certainly not new. I recall reading about them in Fishing Facts 30 years ago.
