gcopple Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I still have some 9in california swimbabes linethroughs. I love them. I fish it just like you would a rising son or similar bait. Their DVL trout color is by far my favorite. Low&Slow and bdpettit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campobassmaster Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Real Prey seems to slay ^ . Surprised no comments on the Baitsmith Magnum yet. Savage gear trout would be a good one for price or maybe a 10" hudd like stated. Rago alpha trouts have been heard to be good as well.

IsaacM619 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Lots of variables, lots of choices. The Mag is really hard to beat as far as a realistic approach, they are well made, nice tail action, and the paint jobs are very hard to beat. The 9.5" Rago Alpha Trout is ridiculous, the unweighted version I am speaking about. You can literally C R A W L this thing over weedbeds or shallow veg and get the tail to swipe side to side in a very sexy manner at an extremely slow pace.

DonnyDfish Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Mike Gilberts promo Battles trout looks very nice. I don't have one but looks money. He proved it definitely works. Can't wait to get my hands on the 10 inch hudd as well IsaacM619 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSlant Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Ok fellas I know what the baits are... Im looking for some input from people on here that have actually fished these baits and what are some feedback about them. Thanks guys. 8" hudds are money..the only bigger bait success I've had and seen are the mags..I haven't had anything truly big but you've seen photos of the guys that have..and I see a lot of 9.5" Rago alphas producing..and if the rumors are true shortly you'll see the 10"ish rising son..my big soft bait fishing though isn't the launch and retrieve lake fishing style though..so the weightless and lightly weighted alphas, rising sons, and the like are perfect for aim and pitch on the moving rivers Low&Slow and IsaacM619 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookedup Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Mags are great baits, they swim well at all speeds and look fantastic in the water. From my experience, mags get beat up pretty easy. The baits I have loose the fins really quick and have broken harnesses so don't use the extra line tie. But even with a broken harness the bait can still be fished. And ya, the prices suck. Realprey 10" is really nice, it's a big heavy bait, much bigger feel than the mag. For the dobyns guys I'd say throw it on a 908. You can get by with a 807 but the 867 is too soft IMO. The price is right at $50. The tail kick on a realprey at slow speeds is not as hard as a hudd or mag. You can contact the owner directly and he can make the bait any color and rof you like. Those are the 2 big soft baits I have a decent amount of experience with. It's hard to say get one over the other, they both catch fish. I tend to have a mag tied on more frequently though.

jmftattoo Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Weightless alpha trout 9.5 and 11" are all I've been throwing lately. Insane action for big soft baits and like stated above you can literally creep them over grass beds and basically weight them however you'd like with up or downsizing the hooks. Pretty versatile for what they are. I love em BigSlant, IsaacM619 and Low&Slow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
