Tackle Max Fugitive Swim Bait

Holy cow! 
 

I just arrived home from a couple days on the road and found these. They are still fresh on the vine. Guess I’m going to be a swim bait guy now. 
 

Thanks @Mitch f!

Notice they are 3.5”’on one side and 4.0” on the other

I did notice that and thought it was really cool that you make both sizes at the same time. I’m going to show them to my fish friends soon.

More action than any other trailer I've hung on my A-rig.  Really like them.

I did a table rock post for Feb 15......the 3.5 swimbait worked good.

Mitch, I was around a lot of fish and they were eating the Keitech. So I tied on the Tackle Max SB and caught a keeper on the first cast. I locate another small group of fish and make a cast and they ignored it (like they routinely do with a Keitech). I make a 3rd cast and catch another keeper. So now I realize my goal is to catch a limit on your SB and that happened without a problem. 

I was around fish postured above 15ft and below 15ft. The SB worked much better on fish postured below 15ft. The 2.8 Keitech worked good on fish above 15ft.

I think a 2.8 inch version of your SB would be interesting. 

The thing I like about the SB is how well it holds up due to the sturdy top section where you have the jig head and then the lower tail section has lots of action/flexibility. After catching a limit the bait showed no wear and tear.

I have a lot of folks tell me they want a 2.8 as well! Probably make it happen. I also have a lot of folks telling me the fugitive is much more durable than the Keitech.

2.8 is my spring mainstay.  Catches walleye, crappie and of course all the bass species.  I would definitely be interested in a 2.8.

Thank you! For some reason I did t see this post until now. 
We had about 4 design iterations until we found the right design and mix of plastic
