Has anyone tried these segmented lures?

I had one. I thought the lure's action was really great and I had a lot of confidence in it. I'm sure I casted that lure around 1000 times in my local lake that has some decent largemouth as well as the Potomac River in Northern Virginia. I lost the lure on a snag about 4 months after I got it. I'm still shocked that I never caught fish on it...never did pick another one up. I do still believe it would be a great lure on the right day it just never panned out for me.

Larger eyes are on younger ( hear tender, tastier ) fish and make for a better presentation. All smolt have large eyes.
Thanks

I tried these on a small lake. They would not wiggle all the time and were upside down. Did not catch any fish. The rapala single jointed minnow works much better

I'll agree with you on that one. I'm ready for spring, just picked up a few of the Repela minnows and I seen that when I used them in the late fall, the mid-runner (suspended) worked very well. I'm still catching fish on the Keitech 4" swim bate minnows. They look very alive coming through the water even when retrieving slow.

I use a Slam Shady3-4-5 inch very regularly with good results. It is the spitting imagine of the Keitech. That paddletail puts out a lot of vibration. Slam Shady can be bought in a few differnt styles which makes the tail thump louder or softer depending on the clarity of the water you're fishing. The Bomber ( hard thump ) for murky water and the Diezel ( softer ) for clear water. Either one works in either water though

I'll need to check them out, thank you Sir and have a great day, think I'm going to find a small stream that hasn't froze over and try my luck on some native trout. These are the days I wish I lived in the south.

OJ remember the old balsa rapala minnow? I saw a article in a magazine n a modification on them. Cut the bill off n use it as a topwater twitch bait. It worked well. I'd throw it under cover n twitch n pause. Give it a try 👍

Anytime brother. I need to get mine back out also. Like most I'm guilty of the next best thing. Bass fishing has cost me alot of money. Maybe I should have stayed with catfishing n pan fishing. Nah I luv bass hunting n at times catching 🤣🤣

It is exciting when they blow up on the surface and especially when the smallies seem like they are trying to drown the person on the other end of the line 😉.
