LClements Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Was fortunate enough to pick up a Wood Acid rat and I wanted to compare it to its resin counterpart. At 1.8 oz the illude wood acid is .8 oz lighter than the resin rat. I noticed after testing that the wood rat sits much higher out of the water- allowing it (imo) wake much better than the resin acid. Action: The Wood rat is much louder and can be burned without it diving sub surface more than an inch or so. Definitely more of a standard “waking” rat Resin Acid is fairly “stealthy”. it wakes on a very slow wind but dives sub- surface on a medium retrieve. More of “swimming” or “cranking” rat. Both are great baits, look similar, but are different tools in the box. If you want stealth go resin but if you want that CLACK wood is the move.

BassBound Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Yes sir wooden rats drive them crazy. Especially at night. I swear I think the clacking makes them angry. Awesome review man. LClements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stkbass Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I have the resin acid rat and I think you are spot on. It has a subtle knock as a wake but the crankdown has an aggressive hunting action. LClements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudes sleep on the resin one but it’s a super cool bait. stkbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
