Anyone Fish Big Bite Baits..... 2024
BuckyKat reply :
Stopped in to one of the big boxs for another bag of senkos and found a few local tournament fishers filling baskets. They were into the Zooms, GYBC, Netbait, etc and I noticed a couple filling up with Big Bite items. Got my attention so I asked and they said it does catch fish.
The trick stick looks identical to the senko although I don't think it's as fat, just a hair under I believe.
For 1/3 the cost I picked up a bag, upon opening IMO texture isn't quite as mushey (salt content?) and there is more of a plastic smell to it but I still am looking forward to fishing it. Haven't had a chance to see what kind of action they have in the water but will drop one in the kitchen sink tonight. As the title asks, anyone fishing it?
ROCbass reply :
I bought a bag years ago, used them a few times and never caught anything. I probably didn't give them enough of a chance though. I don't really like using senkos or senko type baits for the most part, with the exception being a 3" senko on a dropshot, which I fish quite a bit. I still have that bag, maybe I'll give them another shot this weekend.
Flangler reply :
I've fished them and have caught fish...They don't have the same texture. But they work well. You'll be happy with them. Fish them the same as a Senko and you'll be surprised. I think they have a bit more action then a Senko in my opinion,
Hooligan reply :
I thought they were less active than a Senko. The tail taper is kind of goofy, it's almost like the mold didn't fill fully. I'm sure they will catch fish, much like any Senko style bait, yet they just didn't shimmy like the original. What I did like about them is that with a nail weight, they really glide backwards a long ways.
Avalonjohn44 reply :
The Big Bite bait is called a Trick Stick, it is the same exact bait as The Chapman Baits Trick Stick, the Gander Mountain Trick Stick and the *** Trick Stick. I don't know who the original manufacturer is, but from what I understand anyone can resell Trick Sticks and slap their own name in front of it.
As a bait it is great. Nothing is as great as the senko, but these are very close, and have the added bonus of lasting more than one fish.

If this is the case thanks, good to know. Guess I'll never have to agonize over which brand of trick stick to go with, just grab the most cost effective one.
I've added some juice to let this bag soak in and am feeling really confident.

big bite baits although new to me are seriously gettin my attention actually theyre plastics designed by pros at an affordable price just picked up a bag of fighting frogs and cant wait to throw them really wanna try the yo daddy and the warmouth.
kms399 reply :
when I worked at gander mountain every time a shipment would come it all the employees would go through and grab all the trick sticks. black blue swirl was always my favorite. slap some megastrike on there and go to work!
Fat-G reply :
I was unaware that they were all the same. Interesting to say the least.
bassking1976 reply :
havent tried those trick sticks gander has them for $1 but only a few in package and i believe theyre smaller than i use ill stick to using tiki sticks but a whole lotta other baits i wanna try from big bite.
flippin and pitchin reply :
I've been fishing Big Bite Baits products for about 6 or 7 years now. The baits I have used and continue to use perform well and are great values. They have a great color selection. I especially like and fish their tubes.
Hamby reply :
I'm gonna try ***' trick sticks this season. It's $6 for 25 5" ones! If i don't like them as much as others, at least i have many for my brother to use when he's in my tackle.

Didn't realize that BrentB. Thought they were out of Alabama but that's ok, it's right next door.
Bassking, those small paks for a buck must be the same that our local Academy Sports have for .99 in bargain boxs. They are promo paks that I think they are getting rid of, they contain half the number of baits that a regular bag does but for less than 1/2 the regular price so it's still a good deal (a buck gets you enough bait to experiment with to see if you really like them). Our place has 5" & 6" T-Sticks, Cane Sticks, Kriet tail worms and one other bait I believe in the box. I'm glad I went thru them because I found a bunch of 6" sticks in Kiwi color which I don't see offered on their site anymore. I haven't even fished it yet (kiwi) but I think it's going to be a killer.
Gotta-go-Fishin reply :
I took the family to the 2010 BassMaster Classic in Birmingham. We spent most of our time at the expo. Every time we walked past the Big Bite Baits booth they would give us a sample bag of product. It had a finesse worm, a squirrel tail worm, a trick stick, a kreit tail worm, and a fighting frog. We tried the baits the next time out fishing and were amazed at how well the fish bit. My wife caught a 7.5lber on the fighting frog. I have caught many, many fish on all the baits listed above. These baits are great. The price is just an added bonus. If you will fish them, you will fall in love. My boat is loaded with Big Bite Bait products.
ArkieHawg reply :
I use big bite baits plastics relegiously. Every 5lb+ bass I've caught this Spring so far came on a Carolina Rigged 6" Kreit Kreature. I've also been throwing the flying squirrel lately with good results. They're Bush Pigs are identical to Zooms Brush Hogs, only cheaper and available in Bulk. I used them all Summer last year with excellent results.
Just because something costs more doesn't mean its automatically superior...however, that's what the tackle companies are banking on.
Canga reply :
i havent tried the trick sticks yet (at least the big bite version, i do have some gander mountain branded ones) but i did pick up a couple bags of the cane thumpers to try out and compare to the berkley grass pigs, the cane thumpers have a little scent (not overpowering, like some others) and 1 more in the package for the same price, and they are pretty similar otherwise, a little different design for a similar purpose.
i have also done pretty well with the bio-bait grubs and fathead minnows, for both walleye and smallies. these do have an overpowering scent, and are a little more expensive, but still a good product.
Bluebasser86 reply :
I've caught some fish on the trick stick but senko style baits aren't my favorite so I don't fish them a lot. I've got some of their 6" finesse worm that I like a lot for shakey head fishing because the nose isn't as narrow as a Zoom Trick Worm so there's more plastic to screw onto the jighead. I also got a couple bags of the 10" Kreit worm. That big thick body and short hooked tail should move a lot of water. I'm looking forward to fishing them a little later this spring. 
Avalonjohn44 reply :
I just went through a bag of Dean Rojas Fighting Frogs really quickly the other night. The fish mauled them. They were eating them faster than I could repair them with mend-it. I switched to a brush hog, and nothing. Once my mend-it dried, it was game on again. Might've been just the right bait at the right time, but they wre crushing them the other night. I'm a believer in Big Bite now. 
Punkinseedfyretailz reply :
arent they the guys who make the squirrel tail worms????? aparrently they are a hot commodity right now
Gangley reply :
I have had decent luck with their Yo-Mamma. I am interested in their Squirel Tail since I havent seen anything similar to it before, but I am not really sure what the intended method of fishing for it is, shakey head maybe?
SausageFingers reply :
Can't speak to the trick stick but the Squirrell Tail worm has been pretty productive for me.
I recently picked up a pack of the flying squirrell's in "easy money". Looking forward to giving them a go.

I've heard good things about shaky head rigging it. Also just regular t-rig.
ArticWolf reply :
Big bite baits is amazing honestly I’ve beej using GYB and yum for years and this summer I decided to try big bites cuz let’s face it the price point is amazing.....
so far I’ve gone out twice to my usual spots and I live in an area that is pretty tough to catch bass at. I caught 5 in an hour on just two worms , GYB just doesn’t have the durability of other companies and I feel like the bass like the sweet smell big bites uses
also fished a tourney yesterday at a reservoir with 8 people and it was flooded and terrible nobody caught a single fish besides me, I caught two in 5 hours. Both on my new secret bait powerbaits chigger craw and I’ve always hated this company until this year also. I think we let name brands and marketing do too much thinking for us
Brew City Bass reply :
This might be a new record. 7 years! haha
WVU-SCPA reply :
A smaller lake I know is on a burner if you show up a squirrel tail on a shaky head. Replace the plastic, catch rate drops drastically. Have taken it elsewhere and haven't saw the same results. Right thing at the right time.
DINK WHISPERER reply :
Use them all the time. Great scents and very durable.

Don't dwell on that stuff... it was a good, relevant post.
Mobasser reply :
I like them. We get them at Academy. Good baits for the money. We've had good luck on their stickworm, 3.5" swimbait, and their shakey head too
Angry John reply :
I have a decent spread of their baits but the one i use the most is the cane stick worm. It has tons on little channels in it for rigging and when the head gets torn up then you can just rig the other side as it is identical. They are a lot slower sinking than a normal 5 inch worm and in some situations that works really well. I use the 4 inch a bunch for dropshot or skipping under shallow docks so i get better hang time. I also don't get hung up on name brand baits, but i do try and buy a spread to try out different stuff.

This is my favorite ribbon tail, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Columbia Craw reply :
About 15/16 years ago I went into my local shop and spotted a bait I had never heard of, a Big Bite Bait Yomamma. They had four colors and four bags of each color. I bought one pack in Green Pumpkin and the next day smashed the fish pitchin it into buck brush. I went back and bought every bag they had. They were 1.79 then. The department manager asked me why I bought them all and I gave him the run down. I was happy to sell anyone who wanted a bag for five bucks. Since then I have fished the Craw Tube, Creature bait (Brush Hog) and Fighting Frog. They all catch fish. It's still a very inexpensive brand that works.
long island basser reply :
I like their swimming momma in the 1099 color.
Has a ton of action and can be used multiple ways.

You can buy the YoMomma in 100 packs. I didn't know until I went on their website.
The watermelon red/black neon laminate color is a killer bait for me in stained water, along with my standby sapphire blue.
I also like their creature bait (brush hog KO), and the fact that it can be bought in 25 packs for about the same price as a regular pack of brush hogs. The craw tube is a big fish bait I don't talk about much, especially the guys in our Thursday night group
