zmanlane Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hey guys! I figure I should start a new topic since the other topic had two joint in the name! So for the review: Lets talk about some history of the bait. The bait was made by a guy named Art Berry, and the original name of the rat was AB(Art Berry). But when he started to put these baits fully into production, He then called it PB for Personal best.There are one and two jointed rats. Once they made the PB rat, they then made a molded version as well as continuing the wooden version. These came in 4 (?) colors; black, Dark brown, Tan, And a greenish grey color(The one i am reviewing). These haven't been in production for at least 2 years. Now onto the bait, I Love the action of this bait! It is 6.5 inches long, not including the tail. I have been looking for the original tail, As these came with a custom hand poured tail which is the best I can find. You have to glue the tail onto the bait, and i suggest using a hot glue gun. It has an action that will speak for itself, thats why I made the following video. Sorry its not zoomed in, but Its only a go pro. Hope you enjoy the review, and critiques are welcomed!

SPEEDBEAD Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Thanks for taking the time to review. A few corrections: AB and PB made by two different guys. Art Berry and a fella named Perry. Were partners. A white color was also made. (I have one, swimbaitrookie has another) The tails are Creme worms. You can still get the molded version.

zmanlane Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 thanks speed! I always like to get things right, and those are the only things i could find on the baits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I hear ya man. It's tough to find info on these. Definitely give the Creme worms a shot. I like the "Live" color personally, seems to be the best for me. All the PBs I own have them for the tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimbaitrookie Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 nice review. Another correction is the "not in production for 2 years". I recently bought 2 of the 3 piece baits from a retailer new and I'm pretty sure they are wooden, not molded. Killer baits all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
