fishing user avatarDogmatic reply : 

Mind if I ask where you ordered them from? I love fishing "rat" topwaters. Have several, my new favorite is CL8 baby possum. Thx.


fishing user avatarKyle46N reply : 

I have a brown spro rat on the way as of yesterday.   Most online sites are sold out right now, but spro has them.   They are 32 bucks as opposed to 29.  


fishing user avatarMaster Bait'r reply : 

I picked up a large bettencourt rodent recently, I can't wait to throw that thing!


fishing user avatarDogmatic reply : 

Thx!


fishing user avatarAllTerrainAngler reply : 

i use the koppers live target mice 8.99-11.99


fishing user avatarHookdUP reply : 

The LT mouse is awesome but I will admit the bbz1 rat is in a different category more in th swimbait class


fishing user avatarrippin-lips reply : 

That's correct. The mouse is no different than a frog to me. You can throw it on just about any combo within reason. The spro rat is 2.5oz and should be thrown on a swimbait combo made for heavy baits.

that top rat does look like a frog bait and that bottom reminds me of like a MS slammer or something like that....  wild looking rat on the bottom, but i like that!


fishing user avatarSPEEDBEAD. reply : 

I might pick one up to try. The finish doesn't seem durable from the few outings I've seen reported.

You can tell as soon as you take it out of the box. Feels like you could scrape it off with your fingernail. Maybe using a spray clear would help it out a bit.

Lucky! I have to wait for TW to ship mine
fishing user avatarrippin-lips reply : 

I'm not understanding that whole deal. I ordered mine from TW last Mon and it arrived Wed. There are people who ordered before they got the first batch in and those guys still don't have one.

It may depend on the color, I ordered the Morning Dawn color during the Black Friday sale and it shipped on Thursday.


fishing user avatarKyle46N reply : 

Instead of waiting on TW to get them in stock, just pay 2 dollars more and get it from Spro.

You ordered it in Nov and it shipped Thurs. I ordered my morning dawn Mon and had it Wed. Doesn't exactly seem right to me.

That's an idea but most people don't just buy 1 thing when they're on TW. I know I cant.

Ha! Well then, you make a great point.


fishing user avatarAQUA VELVA reply : 

I'm not sure how well it would work on MI bass but I bet the pike & musky would like it.


fishing user avatarbigbill reply : 

I seen a guy using the larger mouse. From shore he casted it into tree branches and worked it slowly like it was walking on the branches. Then he splashes it in the water. He was pulling out bass after bass. These baits work awesome.

Yeah its wood. The paint has cracked some from age .


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

I got mine from our local tackle store. He got 6 of them in on Thursday and did like he normally does when he gets a new bait in, called and asked if I wanted him to hold any for me.

Yeah, I'm thinking it should be great for all the big catfish we have around here though  :respect-059:


fishing user avatarFrogFreak reply : 

I already get enough comments from people when I throw a frog. I bet everyone would think i was nuts if I threw a big ole rat....sounds like i better get or make one!
