chefchris Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 *Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with this company, it’s owners or products, and was not compensated in anyway for this review or use of the product. This is a first impression of the bait and overall design and customer service. Was able to pick these up this past weekend from Coastal Lures. Had been seeing em on IG and FB and thought the design was unique. I’m not a fan of waiting on drops/batches but just happen to check out the site and grabbed the last two packs, got lucky. Bait is 5” and weighs .92oz (weighed on a certified gram scale) I rigged mine on a 6/0 1/4oz beast hook, with the hook bait weighs 1.15oz. They recommend a 5/0 or 6/0 hook. Head is solid enough to support the corkscrew without worry. The head also has a faint center like which helped get the screw lock in the right position. Bait is hand injected and hand painted, is also clear dipped to the first hole in the bait about 2/3 of the bait is dipped, you can see it in the pics. The clear is about a dime or penny thickness depending on the area of the bait. The color of this one is simply “purple baitfish” figured it would be a good match for our herring and other baitfish here in New England. They have a garlic scent to help mask any plastic/paint smell, it definitely doesn’t smell like paint at all! Deep hook pocket, holographic eyes, nice details on the fins/body and tail. Had messaged the owner Aaron on IG about some questions/rigging and he was polite/prompt and answered all my questions. He use to make these baits just for himself and friends and people saw em on FB and started requesting them and he started making them available to the public. He has a 7” in the works too. Its a unique bait, with the tail design, holes in the body to add action and the clear dip on the first 2/3 of the bait which adds shine and makes the bait more durable. They were $12 for a 2 pack. Shipping was a few bucks and had em in 2 days. I’ll be out fishing em this weekend and will get some video and hopefully some fish on em. I’ll update the post by Monday. Thanks -Chef Coastal Lures, El_Weruso and mypivot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey brother, the holes are designed to make the tail more limber. chefchris, Primus and El_Weruso 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
