abkeenan Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 they will wind up in storage next to the spybaits and color selector, ph meter, and Oxygen Sensor. Carry on. Eh. I don't think so with this one. Like Quill said it's basically a Spook/Rover/Sexy Dawg/Sammy/Vixen body with a Jitterbug cupped mouth. I bet this is a winner. I would like to think it would cast a whole heck of a lot better than the old Jitterbugs with all the casting systems in baits today. Also, it really would be an easy bait for kids or adults new to fishing that just want to cast and reel it on back. Super simple and for that reason I think this could be a good bait to have in the box. One other thing is that I think Babler had some success last year on Jitterbugs for those "not so skilled" clients of his and he did well with it. But he said that some of the fish just ate it to their a$$ which made it somewhat dangerous for the health of fish. This being a bigger bait shouldn't have that issue. Quillback and Champ188 2

mjk86 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I can kind of justify paying higher prices on topwater because the likely hood of losing one is pretty slim unlike cranks/soft plastics/etc. Only way you lose one is if a fish takes it, you bang it on a rock or dock on a cast or the person in the back of the boat throws it 30 yards up into a tree. In 20+ years I think I've only lost one spook to a fish and one redfin that cracked on impact hitting a dock cable. Thats a good point. I cant remember the last time I lost a topwater bait. Plus with as many keitechs as I go through I dont have any room to talk.
Champ188 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 My 64 degree Cleveland is my GO TO! Then you, sir, are a short-game wizard. I, on the other hand, enter an unprecedented dimension of dumbassery whenever I pick up anything more lofted than a 56-degree.

abkeenan Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Very few people can use a lob wedge right, better off with a sand wedge. Unless you are Phil Mickleson I'm long off the tee so in a typical round I have pretty many 30-60 yard shots on par 4's and 5's. When I back off a sand wedge or gap wedge for whatever reason I just suck. I have to give a max swing to be worth a crap and that goes pretty much for every club I have in the bag. I have lots of friends that when they go to a iron shot say something like "I'm just going to hit a light 7" instead of a full 8. I just can't do that for whatever reason hence the 64 degree lob wedge just works for me. I make it rain with that thing from 70 yards and in. Champ188 1

abkeenan Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 70 yards is one heck of a poke for a 60 degree wedge! You must hit the ball a bunch further than me Ya. I typically drive right at 300 and when I get into one around 330. My irons are also a club or two up from most of my friends. When I hit my 64 degree like 60-70 yards people are like WTF. But it works for me.
Sore Thumbs Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I'd rather be 100-150 out than 100 or less. It feels great to hit it long off the tee but I pay for it when I'm too close. I'm sure many of you have played with older golfers who don't hit near as far as you do. They will kick your but every time. They don't get a lot of birdies but they will par you to death.
