Top Ramen Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 For those of you that like big crawlers: Jackall is making a much bigger version of their popular crawler bait, the pompadour. evilcatfish, Primus and drewmoniz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thastickybandit Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Rad! Battle Wing has been a good bait for me so I'll have to scoop one of these up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I luv this style but this bait design is over exaggerated. I don't think they get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelpMePickABobber Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Pompadour has been a solid producer for me over the last couple years. I'll definitely give one a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Translate please. Way too much noise, rattles etc. I have not seen this model yet only the regular...this bait style should focus on wing sound movement only cuz that is the primary trigger imo...the savage gear bat is decently designed with a triggering sound caused primarily by the wings...in summary the pompadour doesnt act or sound like a helpless easy meal imo...I will still buy one tho.

Angryjohn Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 This is a bait from the 50's or earlier with the steel wings. The duo version is a lot smaller and has clear plastic wings that look much more life like. I hear a lot about baits that have come full circle but i am not seeing the version that i would expect of a re-release of a classic. How is it improved over the original heldon design... https://www.amazon.com/Heddon-Crazy-Crawler-Fishing-Lures/dp/B00065PT1O?th=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelpMePickABobber Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Heddon crazy crawler is garbage. Every one I've ever tried to fish you had to reel fast to make it crawl. The thing I like about the pompadour and aventa crawler is that they work at a much slower pace. The aventa crawler works at an unbelievably slow retrieve. deaknh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triv Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Pompadour is a great bait. Elicits ferocious strikes! No subtlety about it. Haven’t bought a battle wing, but want one. Hard to justify that amount of money for a plastic bait. The berlinetta crawler is another sick one. The little cicada crawlers from megabass are pretty sick too. My kids like throwing them.

The battlewing is resin.. has clackers in the joint on the 2 piece and has a very mechanical sound but gets destroyed.. they make a 1 piece that is much quieter as well but still moves the water Graphite.Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
