bigpoppabass Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Been looking at this bait for a while now, looks like a $100+ bait but for $40, from what's been said seems to be a strong swimmer, just skeptical about the durability though. I have a little hook rash on mine but that is about it. I am also throwing it on surprising light gear with a rod rated for 1 oz that has a mod action and with nonbraid. I have the translucent pattern not the painted one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigtherat Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Picked one up earlier this spring and fish mostly ponds with it. So far I really like it. Got 3 decent fish and missed another in just a couple trips with it. The paint is getting some rash but I expected that. Haven't had any issues with bent hooks or damaged fins like others have mentioned. The front hooks do foul on the line sometimes when twitching but that could be my user error more than the bait.

bigpoppabass Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 You have to catch a flash sale. I luv the gizzard pattern cuz it has the glitter and purple highlights pics don't show. The shiner is carpish to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefall Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I've been using the JR on the CA Delta during the spawn & it will get them to go when nothing else seems to. Primus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massbass10 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ive abused the crap out of mine by catching a good number of fish on it, its probably my most productive swimbait, ive dropped it and banged it off rocks and the action, the paint, and the fins are all in 99% shape. Havent had any paint chipping issues yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_chris_scruggs Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Super awesome bait! Had it for a year over 40+ fish on it from 12" to 6+ pounds. I use a 1/4 oz drop shot weight to keep it down below the 3' dive it says it gets bigpoppabass and chevro1et 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
