emjay Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Purchased this bait from all the reviews. As a long time swimbaiter from over 10 years swimbait fishing. Yes, I've been in the game for a long time...let just say from when baby wakes use to cost around 42 dollars, which most of ya wouldn't even know. Getting to the point. For around $70, this bait is not really worth it. Dont get me wrong, I've caught fish from 2-5lbs with this bait. But body rips fairly easily and has bad hook up ratio even with 6/0 and 8/0 hooks. My 4.2 and 4.8 keitechs catch the same size fish for 1/10 the price. Not hating, just stating facts for new swimbaiters to not waste your money. It's all hype.

Fried Lemons Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 It’s a good bait but way overpriced. Also the hook harness placement makes them very prone to wedging into rocks when fished deep uphill. I’ve lost four of them this way. I find the citizen is both a better buy and much less snag prone in rocks. I just wish they came in a 9” . Dink whisperer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dink whisperer Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 I haven't tried the battle shads but I feel the same way about the citizens. I catch the same fish on a Big EZ. Decent baits but bad hookup ratio and overpriced. Efrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
