Questions about BASSDASH SwimPanfish Multi Jointed Panfish Bluegill Swimbaits Hard Topwater Bass Lures Fishing Lure Crank Saltwater 3.5in/0.85oz
Q:
does it come with a box?
Answer: Each bait is packed in a hard PVC blister and then the 4 pack is in a bubble envelope.
Answer: No
Q:
WilI the joints tear apart easily?
Answer: Probably not, the Bait sections are jointed by thick cloth.
Q:
How do I use an Amazon gift card
Answer: Sure
Q:
Can i cast with a bait caster or is it to light
Answer: Yes, this bait can be casted with a bait caster and the bait is 0.85oz and it won't be too light for most bait casters.
Answer: No, these baits are fairly heavy, i use them on a medium 6'6" casting rod
Answer: Yes, I've had good lucky with it, it's heavier than you think. Its almost the perfect weight to cast.
Q:
Are colors as described? They look pretty good in the photos.
Answer: I just bought Bluegill color and it is exactly as described.
Answer: Yes, the colors are as in the photos.
Answer: It is as shown in photo!!!
Answer: Yes they look great
Answer: Yes, colors are exactly as pictured.
Q:
how many in a pack
Answer: ONE but if you order from Sunrise Angler you get 2 slightly different color and are 4" long for $15.00. I bought 4 total from 3 different sellers. To be very honest - haven't caught a fish yet. Been fishing in private farm pond that I know holds 2 - 8 lb+ and several 2-4 - NOTHING YET.
Answer: 1
Q:
Does this have lead in it? And if it does can someone point me to one that doesn’t
Q:
Will the back hook tangle when fishing?
Answer: I fished with it twice and the hook doesn't tangle. You can fish it in the way you fish a crankbait and reel slowly and the lure will swim well and even have realistic action.
Answer: Havn't had any problem like the action of it
Q:
Is it good for catching average bass?
Answer: I think so. I always use 3 - 6 inch swimbait and they are easily castable on normal bass tackle and they draw strikes from both numbers as well as big fish. By the way 8 to 10 inch swimbaits are usually for trophy bass.
Q:
Does anybody get strikes with this bait?
Answer: I landed 3 bass in my first 5 casts.,ranging 2.2 to 6.1 lbs out of the San Marcos river. I cast it and let it sit a bit. I twitched the rod a few times, then began an up and Don retrieval on all 3 bass, they struck on the lures upward retrieval.
Answer: I've caught a few with it in the private lake near my house where small and large mouth bass are not too many. It has a nice change in action as compared to some of my soft plastic swimbait.
Q:
The color is excellent,Does it act like a fish and does it work well?
Answer: Yes it does
Q:
I took mine out last weekend and could not get it to swim like they show. it just went in a line. what am i doing wrong?
Answer: I'm sorry for the inconvenience that you've met. I suggest you to try loop knot on the swimbait, or remove the O ring in front of the swimbait, and try again and the swimbait action will be good. I bet you will like it. Some anglers do not get used to the front O ring. ^^

Answer: try twitching the bait off the start. once it starts swimming it will have a great presentation.
Answer: First make sure there are is nothing wrong with your bait and make sure you’re jerking it when you use it
Answer: Nothing. The bait sucks you have to reel as fast as you can to make any action.
Q:
Can you catch snakeheads with these?
Answer: I don't see why not
Q:
how much weight does it have is it easy to cast.
Answer: The lure weight is 27/32 oz (24 grams) . Yes, they are easy to cast while it is possible to cast these lures with a swimbait rod but they are better suited for a traditional casting or spinning rod with a decent, but not too heavy, action.
Q:
I have 10lb. Line on my reel will this be strong enough fishing with this lure for bass?
Answer: I think you would be ok but i would find some heavier line i would use around a 15-30lb line
Q:
Does it act like a fish?
Answer: Absolutely, the joints move perfectly and look like another fish swimming.
Q:
Does it suspend?
Answer: Mine floats and when retrived it seem to go 2-3 feet deep is all. Not impressed with lure and I bought all 4 types. !!
Answer: Not that I'm aware of, you just need to find that right speed to have th full affect work. The right speed is key to making it look like a real fish.
Answer: The one I have does not , it sinks pretty fast , i have to have a steady crank to keep it off the bottom
Answer: If u mean by wiggles back and forth like how a fish swims yes it’s does
Answer: They sink.
Q:
What's the quoted price for 50 Bluegill ?
Answer: Only1
Q:
What’s the diving depth for these lures or will they sink after the cast? Float like a crank bait or sink ?
Answer: Hi, the diving depth is approx. 1ft~3ft, and yes, the bait will sink slowly.
Answer: It sinks like a rock and has no action unless you reel it as fast as you can .... junk don't waste your money.
Q:
Will these sink?
Answer: Yes, these swimbaits will sink slowly.
Answer: Yes, they are a swim bait. That's what they do and they do it well
Q:
is this lead free?
Product reviews of BASSDASH SwimPanfish Multi Jointed Panfish Bluegill Swimbaits Hard Topwater Bass Lures Fishing Lure Crank Saltwater 3.5in/0.85oz
Loopz : Sinks not float unless reeling in fast
SINKS !! Doesn’t float unless ur reeling in super fast with no action it will SINK NOT FLOAT . But not to say it’s a bad bait I love it I just thought it would float .
Bailey Clevenger : Christmas gift, looks awesome
Bought this as a gift for my father in law it looks amazing and very durable. It's a good sized lure. Not sure on how well it works but either way hell love it lol
William Henry : China junk.
Severely disappointed with the product. It pulls drastically to the right.
Sergei Gavrish : ????
????
Joseph T. : AMAZING natural action!!
Just got to try these for the first time today. They look AMAZING coming back to the boat! Can’t wait to get to the bigger lake with bigger fish! Seem quality built ????????
Bulldozer : Have not used them yet but
I have not used them as of yet but they look excellent and they seem to be well built. I will update this review once I use them but they look pretty darn good in my tackle box.
Dal Adams : Fake fish
Looks good
charles s. : Not shiny at all
Its not shiny at all. No reflective/refractiveness at all. Just a cheap image printed onto a piece of plastic. Who knows maybe it will catch fish but I’m not impressed. It looks much better in the add than it does in real life.
marie : Realistic as advertised!
These look like fish nd move like fish! That are hard plastic and have some weight to them, so they aren't for catching goldfish. I hope they are durable after the season is over. Worth the price!
Jonathan Dorton : Still learning it.
So far I have not caught anything with it. As of yet.
Kris : Worth the money.
Bought for my husband he loved it.
D. Mullin : Great for Bass
These work great for catching Largemouth. Look very realistic in the water. Would recommend replacing the rear treble hook with a size larger. (Missed a few until I went up a size)
Alice Shaffer : Lured by the colors
Hahaha I am not a fishing person. They are being used in making jewelry. The colors are great. I do not know if the value as fishing lures is good or not and nothing about the durability but excellent for necklaces.
bierhausser : wonderful lures, caught Bass, Northern Pikes and crappies.
Loved them.
Slippy Fist : VERY HEAVY SWIMBAIT!! Update june 2021
Decent quality but their so damn heavy it's like an atom bomb explosion when it hits the water... I really wish I would have bought only 1 to try out instead of all four... you live and you learn.
Update, tested out again and honestly idk if it was defective or what but trying to swim these slow the segments wont even move. It literally just glided thru the water without moving at all. I made the mistake of buying 4 of them before testing out 1 first. Also I broke the tail off this one pretty easy. So not very durable and I'd say not very quality material. If your looking for a budget swimbait I would definitely look elsewhere or spend a little more and get a well known name brand swimbait. Would not reccomend.
Shelley Buettner : A decently priced bluegill bait but durable and get the job done!
These are awesome swimbaits. They all get bit you just need to put your time in. Have been my #1 go to swim bait, they have proven to me to be the best lure on the water from Florida to California. When birds are hitting the water throw it out in the middle and start reeling like hell. It will get eaten. You would probably be interested in trying and they are one of the best.
Musomi McDowell : Bass lure
Have yet to catch anything on it
Joe : Fun, cheap swim-bait.
I wanted to try a lure like this for a long time and i was not about to spend crazy money on a lure i had no idea how to use or how it performs. In terms of value, this is worth it. These swim baits have great action and look like a real swimming fish when the are reeled in. I can not speak for the durability just yet, but i am curious to see how the joints hold up. So far so good.

Daniel Plaza : Great lure at a great price!
This jointed panfish lure was everything I expected and more. It has a very life like swimming motion that is irresistible to those aggressive bass. I definitely got my money's worth on my 1st trip using this lure in the Bluegill pattern. I 100% recommend this lure to all my friends and family. Thank you Bassdash for another great product!
Michael J. Ruffino : still havent caught anything
Have used this lure about 8 times and still nothing. It looks awesome, swims really well but no fish yet, I bass fish.
Loopz : Sinks not float unless reeling in fast
SINKS !! Doesn’t float unless ur reeling in super fast with no action it will SINK NOT FLOAT . But not to say it’s a bad bait I love it I just thought it would float .
Bummy Davis : This "top water" lure sinks like a stone!
Plain as day the description says this a top water lure. I've been fishing for over 55 years, and every top water lure i have ever fished, actually floated. If I were to hold my rod tip up and reel as fast as I could this "top water" lure might be on the water surface for the last 20 feet of my retrieval. This thing sinks like a stone. I'm very disappointed.
Choff : Pretty good.
Well constructed. But not as much swim action as the shad shaped swimmers. So you need to work them a little different.
NB : Sweet Swimmer
This recovering spawner gobbled down this bait like a fat man at a free BBQ. Looks real good on the swim with a regular tie and even better with a loop knot. I lost it on a submerged stump (my fault.) Ordered two more that night and another two for my son. This is a fun bait to pull and really chases the bait fish back to the boat. Gave it a 4 on durability since I've only fished them one day. I'll update if that changes.
William Henry : China junk.
Severely disappointed with the product. It pulls drastically to the right.
Jacks : HERE FISHY FISHY...
Great it caught fish from the near by ponds!
Michael R Perry : Looks amazing and swims like a real fish, but no bites.
It might be the wrong time of the year for this bait, but the fish in the lakes around here aren't interested. It's a super realistic lure and it swims very realistically. Quality seems to be excellent.
John Ward : Great lure
Great action..great swimbait I recommend..
Bailey Clevenger : Christmas gift, looks awesome
Bought this as a gift for my father in law it looks amazing and very durable. It's a good sized lure. Not sure on how well it works but either way hell love it lol
Mike A2Z : Hooked a 30" Northern Pike
This was a gift to my 11 year old grandson. While fishing, he hooked a 30 inch northern pike. Unfortunately the fish tore the line. So, now I need to order hem another plug.
J. Myers : Misleading description
Stated they were pan fish sized lures. I along with my friend took this as lures for pan fish fishing. They are literally pan fish SIZED. They are nearly 2.5 inches each. Kinda useless for what I fish for.
marie : Realistic as advertised!
These look like fish nd move like fish! That are hard plastic and have some weight to them, so they aren't for catching goldfish. I hope they are durable after the season is over. Worth the price!
James A Horsfall : Great little lure.
Great swim action, very responsive. Easy to manipulate it to look like a wounded fish. Caught a LMB on the first cast.
Shop Smart : No movement
It was stiff and had no movement in the water.
Mike A2Z : Hooked a 30" Northern Pike
This was a gift to my 11 year old grandson. While fishing, he hooked a 30 inch northern pike. Unfortunately the fish tore the line. So, now I need to order hem another plug.
Richard M. : Bass dash Swimbait
Works as described
william m. : well made

Choff : Pretty good.
Well constructed. But not as much swim action as the shad shaped swimmers. So you need to work them a little different.

Rusty cage : Too small
Really small and had to work fast not what I was looking for
R. Perez : Irresistible to bass
A great value, durable, and irresistible to fish. If you want to catch some good size bass. I suggest you grab up a few with different colors and see for yourself.
Tordek : Boss
Item came extremely early cant wait to try it out this summer
Big-D : Super realistic
Very realistic looking lure , the details are crazy on point , the segments work decent and the lure seems to do well
