product description

Brad's Super Bait Cut Plugs is a patented bait holding lure with a superb rotating action that mimics a wounded bait fish. It has proven very effective for various species of Salmon, Kokanee, Lake Trout, Walleye, and many more. Super Bait Cut Plugs can be fished by trolling, casting, plunking, or back bouncing. All you have to do is add your scent or your ground-up bait and you are ready to fish! Standard Rigging: Run leader through leader guide, under the hook tunnel, and out the head using a Brad’s Bead Chain or Brad’s Swivels at both ends of the leader. You can never use too many properly placed swivels to avoid line twist! Mooching Rig or Double Treble: Run leader through hook tunnel and head, use Brad’s Bead Chains or Brad’s Swivels on the main line. Downrigger and Flasher: It is important to use a heavy flasher leader with Brad’s Beach Chains and Duo Lock Snaps on both ends. One snap connects to the main line swivel, one snap connects to the flasher. Connect the flasher to the Super Bait leader with a Brad’s Bead Chain; the length of the Super Bait leader depends on the species of fish, with the lengths ranging from 28-60 inches. Rotating flashers, such as the Pro-Troll ProChip Flasher have proven to be very effective. Baiting: The type of bait used may vary depending on the species of fish being pursued. Using canned tuna in oil, sardines, or chopped herring along with your favorite scent can enhance the fish catching performance significantly. Be creative by mixing your own secret Super Bait Cut Plug recipe.

Do this come rigged or just the lure ? yes or no

Answer: Go and see all the ways you can rig cut plugs on youtube. I use several methods that perform with their way and means. They all are good under the fishing situations.

Answer: You open it up stuff whatever bait your going to use inside the lure like tuna or herring whatever bait you want then just close it up and put the band back on the end and your ready to go

Answer: Do a search on google or youtube. Plenty of videos

Do this come rigged or just the lure ?

Answer: They come two ways. The unrigged double pack, or the rigged single. Both are about the same price. Not all that hard to rig. They do catch fish , not just the fisherman.

Answer: Depends on witch ones you buy. I'm a guide I like to rig my own. But the single packs come rigged the double packs dont.

Answer: No just the lure

Answer: they come both ways.buy with rigged hooks or 2 to the package use your own hooks.

i want to rig it with100 lb test leader, will it fit?

Answer: 100 lb mono line would be a challenge.

Answer: Why do you feel you need that heavy of leader? I would not go above 50. Anything above that will kill the action of the lure as it was intended

How do you use this casting?

Answer: It's manly a trolling luer works great. Not really designed to cast.

Answer: I use it for trolling and don't think the large sized version of these are useful for casting but could be wrong. The medium sized and kokanee versions should cast fine but they are pretty lightweight so a weight needs to be added but be sure the weight is at least 12 inches or more on front of it so there is no interference to the spinning action.

Answer: This isn’t a casting lure. If you want to cast it you’ll have to weight it.

Answer: I use it trolling only. Never heard of anyone casting with it.

Answer: I use it trolling for salmon in Ca, Black Jack is my go to cut plug. You need current for the lure to work properly.

Is this lure uv on all sides. or just the back of the lure.

Answer: The lure is UV on all sides.

Answer: All sides

Product reviews of Brad's Killer Fishing Gear Super Bait Cut Plug and Mini Cut Plug

Robert Manas : Five Stars

I haven't used them yet plan to soon they look great

John C : My herring out fished this crap 10-1 last springer season

Stick with the tried and true: herring. Or a spinner of some type. I bought into this hype the last few years the way everyone else did. Having to accurately control your speed in order to use a 360 flasher to get the proper thump... takes away from the fishing experience. My herring out fished this crap 10-1 last springer season.

JSwoll : Five Stars

Best Bait EVER!

Jim McDowell : One Star

Not so productiv!

Barbara Orsaba : Delivered as stated

It was for my nephew. He is happy with it.

MTB : Two Stars

not what i expected. Play hell using any hook behind it other than treble which are illegal here.

B. Positive : What size do you want? Not always easy to tell on the sales page what size you are getting.

I happened to get a crazy good price on this set of two. You may not get that price, but for me that was a clincher.
Brad's cut plugs are amazing, effective and have numerous options. They are my favorite Kokanee lure. And I love getting a deal on a pair that I have not tried. Have fun choosing yours.

francis bortnick : Five Stars

No that good we used it in New York but did not work out for us.

Darin C : Hot Lure!

It's been a been a hot lure for us on Columbia River Kings? My go to first lure in the water.

Raymie E. : Four Stars

Catches great, good lure!-Needs to come with more rubber bands!!!

Dkova : Oregon King Killer

I starting using cut plugs last season and am a firm believer. Consistent limits. The coho love them also. Fun and easy to fish. For me it’s eitger cut plugs or rolling chovies. Trolled around 2 to 2-1/2 MPH.

Alex : Salmon can resist

Not only that, but they can't steal my bait anymore. I did run braided line (aka Power Pro 80 Lb test) as a short leader attached to mono leading to a flasher. The reason are the dog fish biting through mono line.
The cut plug action is brilliant and after catching a fish, you can freshen up the lure some fish liver from the fish you just caught. Then it's fish on again. Keeping the sent fresh, I think, is an important factor to landing more fish. I have a few different patterns on hand to switch out as needed. These were a great money and time saving addition to my salmon killing weapons.

Mike Lowery : Great lure that can can be used with any scent ...

Great lure that can can be used with any scent that you choose. Would recommend this product to anyone

S. Timm : Go to bait for lake trout

Been using Brad's cut plugs for several years fishing for Lakers on Superior. Been the go too bait when using down riggers. Just be careful not to over stuff the cavity or you will break the hinge.

Ray L : Great Bait

For the reviewer who wished they came with more rubber bands.....Just go buy 1 foot of 1/4 inch rubber tube. You'll have enough for 10 years of fishing. That's all they do is snip bits of tubing.

Jeff B. : Ni

Work good

Ken D. Reed : Five Stars

Product comes as described. Would buy again if required.

Amazon Customer : These plugs run constant right out of the package, ...

These plugs run constant right out of the package, combo with Gamakatsu. single 510 - 2/0 or my preference, 3/0 for salmon. Cut some small pieces of sponge to fit is inside plug for scent trail. Just one piece of foam comes with plug.

007 : Didn’t care for it

Not impressed

Dennis Land : Five Stars

works fine

William Moore : The hot lure!!

Was the hot color late Salmon season this last fall..ordered several to make sure I wasn't gonna be without!..just make sure you get good chain swivels these are line twisters!!

Steve Villa : Three Stars

Looks good but no fish yet caught on this lure.

Robert Edmondson : sale price not applied.

I was satisfied with the over all experience, the only issue was that this product showed a sale price that was not applied. The price changed on the products when I went to the check out cart and finished the payment process.
unfortunately there wasn't a contact phone number to contact on this matter.

Heisenberg : More Time with Bait in Water

Not mucking around with herring is priceless. Your bait is in the water continuously and always has the perfect spin. Rather than worrying about your bait's condition, or if it's been stripped, you're always good to go wit Superbait. More time in the water means a higher chance of catching. I use them in the Columbia River (Washington State), with a flasher and dropper ball trolling downstream in low flow/water conditions (Hi flow, we pull K-15s). Very productive. I also cast them in the surf in the Puget Sound, landing silvers and pinks. For the river, stuff them with a mixture of Chicken of the Sea tuna with oil, some salt, and garlic powder and a squirt of your favorite sauce. For the surf, I put a strip of herring fillet in it, and place 3 no. 5 split shot in the cavity before closing and banding. They cast long and far, and I outfish my buddy, who's a die-hard herring aficionado. He's constantly re-baiting and adjusting his bait for proper spin. With the Superbait, your fishing continuously, and the spin is always perfect. This means more presentation time. To the people complaining about the cost. Buy Superbait once, and your done -- have been using the same one's for many seasons. My buddy goes through herring like there's no tomorrow. That adds up! You want to stay true to baiting up herring, that's fine. If not, give this a chance and you won't be disappointed.

Amazon Customer : One Star

They both broke

Robert B. : Catching Fish

It's hard to give fishing lures a rating because there are so many other factors involved with catching. You could have the very best lure but not some of the right "other things" and not catch. In this case everything was working perfectly and we were catching some good sized salmon. I'm told most people use the Brad's Plug for fishing in the Columbia River but in my case I'm fishing in Puget Sound with good success. The spin on these is perfect and from what I've read the color I'm using is a great choice. I've bought a few more of these as backups since I've already lost a few to some good cunning fish.

I would recommend these to a friend and intend to buy more of them.

How I rate products:

When I give a rating to a product said product automatically starts with four stars as I rarely will purchase anything below four stars. I then add and/subtract stars based on certain criteria as listed below.

1. If an item is exactly what I expected and nothing more it will receive a four star rating
2. If an item surpasses my expectations it will gain a star (5 Stars)
3. If an item goes slightly below my expectations it will lose a star (3 Stars)
4. If the instructions for the product (if needed) are poorly written (hard to understand due to language issues or grammar) or just too hard to follow it will lose a star no matter if the product meets or exceed my expectations
5. If a product is significantly below my expectations I will deduct two stars
6. It will be rare that I would give a product one star since I buy mostly items that have a 4+ rating but in rare instances there may be a good reason that even a four star product receives a one star rating from me. It could be because of customer service issues from the company but whatever the case is I will clearly explain my reason for giving a product only one star

topkat : Just what I needed

As I said before; a must when fishing with the wife and kids, lets me get to fishing rather than baiting hooks.

It works. Way cheaper than herring. Need to get rig it properly. There are numerous online sites that give the information rigging and strategy.

Steve Villa : Three Stars

Looks good but no fish yet caught on this lure.

Alex : Salmon can resist

Ruby : My catch rate compared to others not using these is 2 to 1! Salmon hit these HARD. Awesome product!

I always kill it with these babies in Alaska. I wish it came with more rubber bands since my catch ration is usually 2:1 compared to others on the boat not using these. I also recommend spraying with scent 20 minutes before getting wet. I rotate and pre-spray my other plugs as well. You CANNOT go wrong with these.

S. Timm : Go to bait for lake trout

Been using Brad's cut plugs for several years fishing for Lakers on Superior. Been the go too bait when using down riggers. Just be careful not to over stuff the cavity or you will break the hinge.

Amazon Customer : in time for fishing trip
