Savage Gear's new Bat

That one was 7-13

 

The bat is a crawler. If you've ever seen a Pompadour, you get the idea. It walks along on a straight retrieve, gives a nice little "bloop" and has internal rattles.

 

For comparison, the fish wouldn't touch the Plopper that night, which is odd.

Nice!  What does the bat weigh? 

 

I'll have to weigh it Ryan, not exactly sure. I was throwing it on the same rod I use for 130 ploppers so I'd say comparable to that.

 

Due to the wings (even being folded on the cast) it doesn't cast as far as a plopper but I'd say it doesn't really matter LOL

I have heard some are being shipped. I understand there are a couple of sizes and I would be interested in hearing more about what model is best

 

I have the 4" black bat. I have yet to throw the 5" but I'm looking forward to it.

 

The wings have bent on casts (slapping the water boatside while not paying attention, setting the hook and missing fish) and I've been able to bend them back without a problem. I also casted it into a limb fairly violently (again, my fault) and broke an ear off the bat. There's been no water intrusion from that hit which I thought was a plus.

 

Bending the wings will also yield a different "crawl" which is a cool feature I like as well.
