A Cool Classic Release From Mann's 2025
smalljaw67 reply :
If you haven't got to see the new Reel N Shad from Mann's I suggest you take a look at it on you tube. I think this is a game changer, it is a fluke with a forked tail that swims like a swim bait but no boot tail, it looks even better than a fluke on a scrounger head. Now, the design is cool but I can see these getting tore up easily but it is a pretty neat design, check it out!

Wow that looks really cool. I'll grab some as soon as I see them on the shelves. My wife already gave me a dirty look haha
Master Bait'r reply :
That is pretty sweet! Seems as if they circumvented the need for a scrounger head at all. Certainly a lot from a little!
I'm definitely going to have to give these a try.
roadwarrior reply :
I'm thinkin' no Scrounger head required.

That is how I found it!!
ItsTig reply :
Sold! Very cool, that video is great. Short, sweet, doesn't even feel like a commercial. The bait just looks so neat and super easy to use. I'm sure it will be on shelves before I can fish again, and I will pick some up. Go away winter. Go away.

Wow!
Awesome!
Now. ... if only it was elaztech so I could RULE ALL OF COASTAL FLORIDA!
Lol.

I started to post about this bait earlier today. I was pretty excited when I saw the video on YouTube. This would be great for a scrounger or chatterbait!!

Paul Elias from Miss. The ole kneel & reel inventor, lol
Jay Ell Gee reply :
I wonder if the Mann's guys are shaking their heads in disappointment when they went out of there way to make a soft plastic with more action than a scrounger and all anyone wants to do is put them on a scrounger... Lol.
Comfortably Numb reply :
Thats the most unique bait design I have seen in years. Lokks great.
Dwight Hottle reply :
I just hope Paul Elias wasn't using the new bait all day because he got skunked the first day.

That's kind of funny.
But for me, the magic of a Scrounger is that it excels on a low & slow retrieve. This new Manns bait when rigged on the stock jighead looks like you'll have to move it along at a pretty good clip to get the same wiggle / vibrating action.
So though I obviously have fished the bait, it looks like it will do well hitching a ride on the back of the Scrounger.

I'm just teasing A-Jay. I simply couldn't resist.
I do agree, it looks like he is moving that at a pretty good clip to get that action.
I fish stained water 99% of the time so scrounges don't really play here, though chatterbaits do. I prefer to bulk them up so fish can find them. In south La, our "finesse" fishing is using a trick worm, lol.

I have gotten big into inshore fishing these last two years. I don't use the elaztech saltwater stuff much, but is there any advantage other than the durability? Specks and reds (and Snook, I could imagine) can really tear up some plastics.

Durability & Buoyancy!
Stingray23 reply :
A must have for spring.
Chris at Tech reply :
Yeah, that looks like it'll catch a fish or two, and looks like a good choice to have on the deck in case a school of bass, stripers or hybrids show themselves.
I'm curious to see the weight of the included jighead and to see just how slow it can be reeled and still get that action.
Dwight Hottle reply :
Alabama rig here we come!
Chris at Tech reply :
Looking at this video more... I may have to slit a Super Fluke open right down the length of the bait and see what happens. I'm sure there are more differences in the bait but I guess we're unlikely to be able to tell until someone gets some in hand.

Looks like the plastic on the Manns bait may be softer - but I'm going to try to split a few flukes too
Can't hurt and I seem to have a few laying around . . .

Looks good and I will have to try some. Do they make one in a smoke color?

Durability and buoyancy yes.
Mostly though, any lure like this gets HAMMERED by baitfish in the salt. Pinfish and croakers will have this thing in shreds in two casts. The elaztech stuff takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.
Also. ... trout and mackerel have big razor sharp teeth. It'd be nice to catch more than one fish per lure.

I was thinking very similar. But i Think it would require a bit more than a slit. Maybe cut a big chunk out of the middle.
