Beaver Baits 2024


fishing user avatarSpinnerbaitSlinger reply : 

Im looking to restock my supply of beaver type baits. I recently had success with the reaction innovations kinky beaver Okeechobee craw, but they are kinda pricey. Im trying to find the best looking beaver bait that I can get most in a pack with. Most of these baits seem to come in a 5-7 pack for around $5. Does anyone know of any other beaver style baits that come in larger quantities?

Netbait B bug. 10 to a pack for the 4 incher and only $4 with lots of great colors.

I just switched to these for the same reason.  I used them for the first time last weekend and was very impressed.  I like the Okeechobee craw and the sprayed grass color they offer.


fishing user avatarMCS reply : 

Gambler ugly otter or bitters bait and tackle muskrat have good products and reasonably priced. The muskrat is a close match to the RI beaver and SK rodent style baits and it is a 10 count bag for 2.99 or 2-5 bucks. Gambler has the 50 and 100 count bags for products usually available at their online store.

I have the reaction innovation beavers I haven't really used them that much though


fishing user avatarSpinnerbaitSlinger reply : 

I really like everything about the reaction innovations except the price. these other brands are definitely something im interested in


fishing user avatarmnbassman23 reply : 

B Bug is my go to as well.


fishing user avatarSpinnerbaitSlinger reply : 

what size B Bug do yall use?


fishing user avatardown4ttown reply : 

Tie between the Missile Baits Dbomb or Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver. Number two would be the havoc pit boss! Those three baits will catch some serious fish.

I use the standard size one that is 4 inches long.  I have been using it with a 3/0 hook and a 1/4 oz weight and doing really well.


fishing user avatarMontanaro reply : 

tw has large bags of missle d bombs


fishing user avatarSouthernjig reply : 

I can't have any luck with the d bombs,caught way more fish on zoom baby brush hog and super hog!


fishing user avatarColdSVT reply : 

I use the RA sweet beaver and smallie beaver A Lot!!! Also like the pit boss and netbait B bug...they all work great

Right now the RA smallie beaver seems to be the ticket in northern PA


fishing user avatarbrandonss reply : 

I use to use the pit boss bit now I'm using the Dean Rojas fighting frog its a awesome bait


fishing user avatarJrob78 reply : 

Check out the Big Bite Baits Yo Mama.  I believe they come 8-10 to a pack and are cheaper.  Also, the Zoom Z-Hog and Yum Wooly Bug are a little cheaper than the RI.

WRONG. Per TW..........

 

RI Beaver: $4.79 per 10ct. bag.........about .48 per bait

 

Zoom Z-hog $4.59 per 8ct bag..... about .57 per bait

 

Yum Wooly bug $.99 per 8ct bag... that's about .62 per bait

 

Reaction is the cheapest of those choices.

Yep, you're absolutely right.  I was basing my statement on the OP saying there were 5-7 per pack.  I checked everything else but didn't check that.

Kinky beavers are 7 per pack, but sweet beavers are 10, that makes the Kinky beavers @ $4.69 per bag ( .67 per bait) more than the Zoom and Yum. So were both wrong, and both right.......

The bigger one, it's listed at 4.3". I fish mine on a 4/0 hook with a 1/4-1/2 ounce pegged bullet weight. The Havoc Pit Boss is another good, cheap bait but I don't really consider it to be a true beaver bait because it has more of a flapping action than a glide like beaver baits. However, since you're fishing the Kinky Beaver, a Pit Boss may be a good alternative for you to check out. They are a great bait and one of my favorite flipping baits. For $2.99 for an 8 pack they're pretty tough to beat. 


fishing user avatardown4ttown reply : 

Dick's has had sweet beavers on sale the past two times I have went. They were $1.99 a pack. I bought every d**n bag at that price. It must have been a discontinued color for them or something (magic craw swirl- my favorite). I usually only buy craws and beavers. Worms work every now and then, but I have so much more luck with Jigs (craws) and t-rigged beavers. Be open to brands as they will all go on sale at academy. Rage craws were a $1.99 a couple weeks ago so I bought them. Then next week it was havoc products so I bough the pit boss. If you are open to all brands, you can really save some money and get a chance to fish different baits with different actions.

I also like the missile baits dbomb.


fishing user avatardreamertino reply :

I haven't but it's on my list of things to try. 


fishing user avatarSouthernjig reply : 

I have the jr on a 3/8 jig! Looks like a super chunk jr so I just use the chunk cause they way cheaper.


fishing user avatardreamertino reply : 

I bought a pack of the z hogs and dont do much punching so they will be used for something lol

Yesterday, I did okay with the RI beaver in the color they call corn dog. It's a brown w/chartreuse tips.

Overall, darker colors work best for me. Black, brown, green, purple.


fishing user avatarPensfan79 reply : 

How do you guys fish these baits? I picked up some smallie beavers but havent had much luck with it. I've tried T-rigging it and dragging it with a football jig head. I fish in a river with light current.

It would be shorter to list the ways I don't fish them. Here is the list :

I t-rig mine and use them for pitching into cover.


fishing user avatarpbizzle reply : 

I've been catching them on YoMama!


fishing user avatarwhitwolf reply : 

I most always use R.I. sweet and smallie beavers and have had great success on both. 

 

I usually tx rig them and pitch to cover but this morning i went out before the rain came and rigged  a smallie beaver upside down and while there was nothing of any size the 5 I caught absolutely crushed that bait. I can't say whether it was something they haven't seen, It could have been the front moving in I truly can't say but those strikes were vicious.
