Rat vs. rat 2025


fishing user avatarLow_Budget_Hooker reply : 

Out last night running a couple of proto-type wake baits,very similar to a slammer,....but different,lol

Below is the Rat version.

What was this guy thinking?

Oh yea,....YES, they work!!  Very slow bite but I did get 2 fish on the rat and 1 on a perch version.  Very satisfying catching on something that was a dowel the day before,lol.

You make that?


fishing user avatarfishfordollars reply : 

That happens a lot down here in Texas. Many fish shorter than the 11-12" worms we throw are caught using them.

yup, last night I used proto-types 13, 15 and 16.  Can't tell you how much I've learned about "shape" and hydrodynamics.  Everything came together last night.  The answers showed themselves so to speak.  Now I'm ready to get creative and let my imagination go, my specialty.

game on


fishing user avatarBig Tom reply : 

Nice.  I bet that does feel quite rewarding.  Mad props on Low Budget Swimbaiting.  :D


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

That lure you built is REALLY cool!

I bet we're going to be seeing some big bass pics shortly.

Good luck!

fishing user avatarLow_Budget_Hooker reply : 

I hope so,....here's the kicker,....the bait you see me holding,....is the "mini"  ;D :-X ;)

Key element to the mini is the tricked out graphics.  The back gets NO LESS and NO MORE than 3 passes with a cheap spray can,....black.

Belly gets one distance pass, .....just to break the brown of the wood,lol.  

Viola,....RAT  (catalogue color code B052)  ;D

Similar construction, but the mini is almost twice as long and 2/3 as narrow ;)


fishing user avatarJimzee reply : 

It's very rewarding catching a fish on something you designed.  I hope you get it down to a science and post a Rhode Island 10 lber. soon.  Looks good from where I'm sitting.

That is extremly cool!!!! ;)


fishing user avatarLow_Budget_Hooker reply : 

Don't be fooled folks, and if I ever am able to come to market with something like these, remember that BLOOD , sweat and tears went into bringing this stuff public,lol

Key tip.  Remember to feed the belt sander.  If you forget, it may just feed itself and take a nice bite out of you! ;D :o Those 5 pounders will be EARNED tonight,lol,....that's my rod holding hand.... ::)

dude that's a war wound :oya might want to stick to hand sanding ;D ;) nice work on the baits...it's an addiction isn't?


fishing user avatarHOIST-N-HAWGS reply : 

Where's mine? Gheeeeees........ your customer service department needs overhauling!

Misssed two hawgs on the MS at the Smallie pond Sunday 9 LM and 16 SM....when are we going so you can give your rat a real test?

Or do I have to take MAHole and torture you with the pic's. ;)


fishing user avatarLow_Budget_Hooker reply : 

No promises Paul, I had to cut last nights trip short.  After about 30 casts, the hand was screaming.

Looks like I'm down and out for a bit but I would definitely like to send a rat up with you guys.  Any chance you'll be near my part of town before you go again?  If so, let me know and we can meet up.

The minute I'm good, it's my turn.
