SPEEDBEAD Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Second biggest fish of the year on the new Savage Gear bat topwater. Really sick bait and as with all their products, affordable as well. LUV-2-CATCH'EM, aesoprocks247, YELOSUB and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSwim Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 thats a good one. whats the weight on it? how does the bat swim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 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.

bigpoppabass Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Congrats, very few cos have ever figured out the creeper. E.g. the pompadour is way overdone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Nice fish! The bat is a pretty cool-looking bait too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppabass Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
