Spy Baits

They look great. Concept makes sense. Just not a winner in use.

I bartered mine away to Ham some time back. At least they are Now in the hands of a spy bait certified angler. 

I'm gonna say that's a backhanded compliment at best. Certified Spy Bait addict is closer to truth. But it was a good swap. I needed the jerkbaits even less than the spy baits.

What brand/ model are you all talking about?  Do you put them all in same category as far as success?

[Ham]

I have three brands. I've caught fish on all three brands. They do each fish a little differently. 

Duo Realis Spinbait 80 has the best shimmy

LC Screw Pointer 80 seems to settle a little slower but I haven't thrown as much as Duo

Jackall I Prop Spybait runs shallower than the others. It got bit early and often shallow in spring, but it was always small fish that I could have caught Better on something else with a single hook point

Mine are all Duo. Didn't bother trying others.

Only have 2 different size Duos that haven't used yet. I could see them as alternate baits for located fish that you've worn out on otherbaits. Kinda what was done in the elite tourneys recently. Will try in couple of weeks on schools we locate.  Nice finish on these baits.

I bet Speckled trout would like them. Especially the Jackall I prop

I have a couple of Duo and I think they're 90 sizes.  I've caught fish on them, but only 1 keeper.  It gets bit, but I have a hard time figuring out if I'm remotely doing it right.
