I didn’t see any reviews for TFox Lures so I though I would make one. Maker: TFox Lure Model: Baham Length: 180mm ~ 7in Weight: About 4 ounces Style: Glide Cost: $110 shipped Time: About a Month from order to door. Features: Floating, Diver, No hooks included Maker: I started by contacting Tfox through Instagram messages, never got his actual name. He always responded very quickly with updates and photos. His English was broken so I didn’t try asking any technical questions about the bait. With that being said he did seem nice, and didn’t require payment until after the bait was completed. When I had to pay I did it through PayPal without any issues. Bait: the bait is pretty interesting. It’s a floater but is heavy for its size, most importantly though it dives. If you look at the photo the fins on the bait cause it to dive to about 3 feet when you start a retrieve. When stopped the bait floats up pretty quickly, I would say like a slow sink matt lures but in the opposite direction. The glide is pretty tight and the bait tracks well. I have a Lexa 300 with 8.1 gear ratio and I can reel near full speed without it blowing out. I have to start slow though then speed up through the cast, it rolls if you try to floor it from a stop. Also, when you reel faster the glide doesn’t get wider, just longer. On a normal steady retrieve its got a very smooth cadence with a small click from the joint. I can’t get it to do a 180, it likes to roll if you give it a hard twitch and it is hard to give it any movement outside a steady retrieve. If you let it float to the surface, then reel so slow the mono doesn’t straighten out the bait makes small s-turns with the slightest ripple on a calm night. Fish: I haven’t fished it a ton yet maybe about 20hrs on the water without any takers. Fish follow a lot but I can’t get the bait to turn and cause a reaction strike. Modifications: the bait has a flat bottom kind of like a negotiator or mother. I took a lot of led tape and tried to get the bait to suspend. It worked but I couldn’t get the tape to hold for more than a couple hours. When I was fishing it as a suspender it looked fishy as heck. If you killed it mid retrieve it would just slowly glide out to the side 3 or 4 feet then stop. I think if you could get the tape to hold you would get fish to hit almost dead-sticking the bait.
