I'm reading a lot of buzz about some of these lures and Im just curious what are your top picks of them and color? I have had a little luck with the Lucky Craft moonsault chart. shad., and a few fish on a megabass mr-x cyclone aka tora, but nothing to brag about. Am I using the wrong ones? what about the vision 110, or the Sebile magic swimmer? I have actually done better on a Bomber model 6a brown craw. Thanks
lc...pointers, flat mini's and moonsaults.
megabass...deep x 100...tough little bait to beat at times.
Sammy in Ms American Shad going away.
Megabass Griffon SR-X in Killer Pink!!!!!!
Now that I think about it I might delete this post.

i only have one lure from those brands and its a magic swimmer so i guess thats my top one
My must have from those companies would be the Lucky Caft RC series 0.5 & 1.5 cranks, Lucky Craft Pointers,Flash Minnow & Sammy topwater baits. I have a few Megabass Griffon's but haven't used them enough to form an opinion, they did catch a few when I gave them a chance. I have become a big fan of the Sebile Flatt Shad, a great complement to the rattling lipless cranks that you probably already have. Though I haven't put in a lot of hours with it some have done quite well on the pro trail as well as other weekend anglers on their Magic Shad swimbait.

There's a good one for me too.
You left out Strike King's King Shad. Have caught some really big fish on this lure in the past few years.
Sounds like some really cool lures .....now if I just had the money to buy some ;D...thanks
QuoteOK,But you cant tell anyone...........skeet reese char/rootbeer mr.Throw it into wood and hold on.
I think you would have to hang on if you threw Skeet Reese into wood, even if his hair was chartruese and he was drinking rootbeer.
I just picked up the Megabass Xpod....I like the idea behind this, that you can change the presentation method by transformation....I think im gonna do good with it as silly as the idea sounds.
As far as baits ive fished, ive caught more on pointers than anything else by these choices..
Rc 0.5
Are the LC RC .5 & 1.5 shallow runners, and where do you find the Ghost sunfish color? whats the best fishing tactic for these, over shallow weed beds, shallow flats, etc.? I got a Megabass griffon, but, its a little bity thing, seems it would catch more small fish, and be hard to throw.
The RC .5 is about the same size as the Griffon. The 1.5 is a great size crank. They both work well around wood and rock(rip rap).
You get them at BPS in Clarksville. You know where that is right?
LC BDS-1 with black spots on back and orange belly
Sebile Magic Swimmer 128-Halo Greenie
no megabass baits
Skilletsizebass the LC RC series runs app 2'-4', they do also offer a Deep Diving version as well. I have a few of the deep diver version and they've been a solid bait so far but I haven't fished it enough to determine if it's a must have 5 star bait. App 2-3 times per year the RC cranks will be on sale for app $ 9.99, when that happens I plan picking up another dozen or so including their new one knocker version.

zbass,
I have to say that you got a good laugh out of me,good one,LOL.....
What everyone is saying about the rc 1.5's are a good choice for someone who wants to try out a lc bait but is hesitant about spending the money.They are great cranks that flat out catch fish.Square lip that goes thrue cover well,and runs aroud 2 feet deep.
QuoteWhat patterns have been productive in the Pop-Max for you RW? Any luck with the Pop-X?
I like the frog pattern, but I'm partial to green anyhow. I bought a
couple several years ago, fished them once, caught a fish on both
and put them away. They're just about too cool to fish! However,
I fished the lure with CJ and ghoti on Kentucky Lake last summer
and caught several bass. You won't be diasappointed.

for the suggestions guys, now I can spend a couple hours looking them all up on-line .
Zbass, yea I know where BPS is
its only about this far from my house .
I haven't seen the Ghost Sunfish color in the rc, but I may have overlooked it. And, the Megabass Griffon bait seems so small.
I like that store. It has the nascar simulator. I almost spend as much time in there as the fishing dept. Okay, maybe not.
zbass I did the nascar simulator one time at BPS, I was off the track more time than on it. I guess it takes some getting use to.
I go to BPS sometimes 1 or 2 times a week, if nothing else just to look around
I love the Megabass Griffon in Crack Jungle (crack lime over a clear body with an orange belly). I fished it like crazy this year, and it produced every single time.
I also get a lot of fish on the RC1.5 in Blue Back/Chartreuse color. Splatterback is a great color too.
Those two cranks are must haves for me from now on.

I would have to live in my truck if I went to BPS that much. That is providing I could afford my truck. I would have to park in their lot cause I couldn't afford gas.

We need to quit talking about the Griffon. . If there is any Killer pink Griffons out there that need a good home, tell me!
The Griffons will always be in my boat.

lol. Griffons suck. Don't buy them. Put them on Ebay for a 'buy it now' of like $2, and I'll think about taking them off your hands because I'm a nice guy...

Now your talkin'!!
I like the LC Pointers but my favorite jerkbait is the Megabass X80 TrickDarter. That thing cathes TONS of fish.

I bought a few Pop-Max's over the holidays and can't wait to get them wet. I picked up one in Cicada, PM Bass, and Spook Killer.
I have a few Pop-X's on my short list: GG Black Bug, Moth, and School Bait. Down monkey, down.
Lucky Craft:
.5 & 1.5
BDS 3
100 Pointer
I finally jumped on board the LC train and bought my first LC lures today.
Got 4 Sammy 100, 4 Splash tail 90, and a popper
All for $73.
I hope they won't disappoint me.
I didn't count them all up, but, there sure is a lot of votes for the LC RC .5 & 1.5 and also for the pointer. I just bought a RC 2.5 DD in copper green shad, haven't used it yet. I have had 4 Pointers , 3 shallow runners and 1 deeper runner. 1 Bevy shad and 1 Staysee90, but, I haven't gave these an honest try yet. I kinda went overboard on the Moonsaults, I must have 12 of them, cause I caught a big fish(9lb) on one ;D, and haven't done a whole after that. :'(
I really went over board on the Megabass cyclone mr-x & md-x both, maybe a dozen of them, and, again :'(, haven't caught much to speak of. You would think I'd learn my lesson by now. Maybe I should just try to fish with the lures I bought. ;D
