Product reviews of Catch Co Mike Bucca Baby Bull Shad Swimbait 3.75" 1/2 oz

Sbrinegar : Nice swim bait

It appears to be well made but sadly I haven't got to use it yet. I'm hoping to use it soon and I'll update my review.

Mimi Suze Mura : Great service and product

Prompt shipping, the swimbait is exactly as described, will buy again. Thank you Catch Co!

Dsilva : Let it sink the reel slow.

It catches fish swims good.

SeggX : Great lure! My new 'go to' bait!

Incredible lure, the hype is real! I've caught 3 bass and 3 channel catfish over the last 2 outings and every fish was caught with this swimbait. Not even a bite on any other lure I tied on.

Nothing better for aggressive reaction strikes.

Beware: the hooks are ultra sharp!

Tina Seabaugh : Easy to use. Love it

My son loves this he fishes in the pond with this all day.

HaussChevy24 : Fantastic Customer Service

**************UPDATE*************
I was refunded the full amount of the swim bait, and to my surprise when I got home from work today there was a package from CatchCo on my doorstep. Without any pressure on my end, they sent me a new one. I hadn’t even reached out to them. Needless to say I am extremely satisfied and beyond happy with my encounter with them! I will without a doubt be buying more of their lures. Their trashmaster jigs are the best on the market!!!

Was super excited when this arrived today, and quickly noticed the paint on the top of the lure is chipped. I know it’s not a huge blemish, but I feel when you’re spending close to $20 on a single lure, it should arrive in pristine condition. Pretty disappointed.

Sir Daniel J Thornton : Fish hate it

When fish hit this lure it is out of pure rage. Very fun to use, can be used subsurface or at the surface like a wake bait. Kills them in the creeks around me.

lift truck mechanic : I ordered more

Already caught several fish off of thos lure

detoxer : Catch more fish, fish this

It swims very well. I use it on a casting rod and it has good movement with a little flicks and pulls it looks real.

Picked up plenty of bass during the spring.

Todd Cummins : It works

I have caught a decent small mouth on this lure.

Robert K. Glidden : What my grandson had on his Christmas wish list

good value and quality

tony e. : Awesome

Excellent action. Fish nabbed it within 10 seconds of me putting it in the water to see how it swam. Downside....after about 2 months of fishing, the pin has fallen out that holds the body together. Will have to epoxy in place.

ALISHA AGUILAR-LOPEZ : One of my best day fishing

Best swim bait out there

Ty : Quality

Lure runs good. Only used it once so far. Can confirm quality hooks, as I managed to hook myself.

MandoGee : Great design, production & great weight:length ration which allows for distance and accuracy casting

Purchased for my 13 year old son and he loved the realistic swimming action and was amazed by how realistic it looks in the water

Ryan Decker : Couldn’t keep them off!

So. I got this lure today after hearing good things about it on YouTube. I went with the gizzard shad because it looks like the baitfish here in south Florida. Eager to watch it swim I went to the lake behind my house, with no real intention on catching fish, I just wanted to see the action.

My first cast from the doc, I watched 5-6 peacock bass compete for the lure! I pitched in a few more times and ended up with 2 peacock bass landed and a few more bites in a about 15 minutes.

Basically, the action is incredible and natural and the paint imitates nature with a little bit of exaggerated colors to really make them pop in the water. Peacock bass love them.

tony e. : Awesome

Scotty D. : This bait catches!

This is a great little swimbait. Gets hit everytime I use it! Definitely a great starter bait for anyone wanting to get in the swimbait game but doesn't want to spend crazy money on big swimbaits

Ryan : Quality, sharp hooks, swims well. Just need to add fish.

Very nice, sharp hooks and swims well. You never know how smaller swim baits will work, but this little guy swims very well. Nice tight wobble swim. Quality seems great and I don't see this breaking any time soon, its one of those baits that will be with you a long time unless you lose it..

Scotty D. : This bait catches!

This is a great little swimbait. Gets hit everytime I use it! Definitely a great starter bait for anyone wanting to get in the swimbait game but doesn't want to spend crazy money on big swimbaits

Derek Ziarko : Best Swimming Shad Out I've Used

This thing has caught me so many fish during spawn last year before I snagged and lost it. So excited to get back out in the spring with my new one!

Mimi Suze Mura : Great service and product

Prompt shipping, the swimbait is exactly as described, will buy again. Thank you Catch Co!

Toderick Bryant : It's awesome

I like this lure but before I can ever catch anything on it I get it snagged and lose it. Beautiful swimming motion. Buying another one because I just lost one.

Mary M. : Gift

Gift for my grandson

Spencer Saylors : #BABYBULLSHAD

Very excited to use this lure! Almost looks lifelike in the water. Ready to catch some big fish on this!

Joe-G-C : Los ansuelos son de muy buena calidad

Es muy bueno el material y el nado qué hace es excelente

Ron Weidman Jr : Excited to use great quality swim bait

The color sheerness is spot on hooks are nice nickel plated interesting bristle style tail

Tyronkriel : Big fish

Saw this swimbait used in a YouTube channel and it's TRUE what the guy said the bigger the bait the bigger the fish someday I received my order I went out fishing on my first cast I landed a 6 pounder

lift truck mechanic : I ordered more

Already caught several fish off of thos lure

lift truck mechanic : I ordered more

Already caught several fish off of thos lure

Big Moe : Best Jointed Lure for the Money

This is one of the best if not the best swim Lure I have ever used for the Money!! Once you know how to twitch it, the movement is incredibly realistic but if you decide just to reel it in slowly you can see the S swimming pattern that it has. When you kill the action it will sink slow enough for you to give it another twitch and drive the Bass crazy, highly recommended!!!

Mike : Good bait but needs to be heavier

Great bait, very good swimming action. Wish the rate of fall was faster. If you swim it too fast it almost becomes a wake bait.

fisherman_yates : Top Notch quality

A little smaller than I was hoping for but overall very good bait.

john : It catches Large Mouthbass

Loved the lure.

Ryan : Quality, sharp hooks, swims well. Just need to add fish.

Todd Cummins : It works

I have caught a decent small mouth on this lure.

Jose : Life like.

Works well on a fast retrieve and slow retrieve. Real life like. Can’t wait to catch a fish on it. My urban lake is super pressured but I have faith in this little lure. Peace.

Jon : Great but a little overpriced

This is a great lure with great action and effectiveness. I cannot understand the trend of pricing mass manufactured swimbaits as if they are hand crafted. Still, I knew what I was paying and the product met my expectations. Should be 10 bucks cheaper at least.

Tyronkriel : Big fish

Brent B. : Decent deal for the money

Was smaller than I thought but very realistic

Sasco : Seems like a descent bait, but keep wanting to float to the surface.

Lure is a bit light or is made of material that float too much. Have used it several outings and no fish yet. Hoping that changes.

Jon ford : Wrong color was shipped

I ordered this and when it came in the mail , it was the wrong color.i have fished it 2 full days and yet to catch a fish on it. It does have great action in the water.

David James : Nice lure

Quick shipment

Nicholas Bramer : Great bait

This is probably my favorite bait right now just because of how realistic the action is compared to a shiner in the water. Nice hook up rate because of the double treble .
I’d say the only cons are the price and how easily it snags I’ve already lost 2 other than that it’s great I’ve caught tons of fish on em

rick robles : Get the bigger one

Good bait

brad tremble : Amazing Swimbait

I love the size of this bait. It’s not too big and has great action in the water

Ryan Decker : Couldn’t keep them off!

Rachel Knapp : Quality

Great fish catching machine!!

Daniel P. : Will get you Bass!

Now i see what all the fuss is about. Great for covering area. Great action and durable. A must have for every tackle box period.
