Ok, being in the business I get people walking in all the time saying, "you've got to get (fill in the blank) line of baits. We're killing them on them things! Sometime....it makes a lot of sense.....other times I scratch my head.

So let's make this easy..... I'll mention a line of baits, you say "Hot or Not"...once we have all had our say, we will pick another line. Oh...no matter your opinion, let us know why you think the way you do. Let's try to keep from killing each other too.

I'll start off with Grandebass - Hot or Not?

Hot - really only use the rattlesnakes and they are deadly on a shakey head or c-rig.

Grande Bass, and especially the snakes are definetly hot. I've caught most of my better fish in the last two years on them. I caught a #9 at R. Roberts in July on a snake and she had a mega tail in her mouth.

The rattlesnakes are a very good bait.  I was a die hard LFT Ring Fry guy on my C-rig.  More often than not now I use a rattlesnake.  I'll still use a Ring Fry, but only if they aren't eating the snake (it's a tad bit larger profile).

I've used them on mojo rigs also in the baby version and they work well.  I also use their 6" finesse worms, but honestly a finesse worm is a finesse worm...... but I do like them.

I've tried most all of their stuff though.  Things I haven't had much success on..... Mutant,  and the Machine/Swimn craw (no offense grande guys, but that thing is just.....sucky......) 

I've caught lots of fish on their lizard also, but again it's a lizard and a lizard is a lizard.  I do like their Mega3 scent though.

I think the 'new' Mega Claws is a very innovative detailed bait.  But......  The Pincher claws, just didn't come out right IMO.  They are too heavy and don't float up which is kinda the design...  But I have rarely seen a bait with as much attention to detail in them as that one.

Hope that helps Wink

Stanley Sidewinder. Like a Hag tornado. It has a rattle chamber in the tail also.

One of my partners swears by the rattle sanke... I dont have as much luck.  While their chunk trailer isnt anything original, I like the plastic they use and their colors, so I use them.

Hot. As much as I hate to admit it because of being beat over the head with hype by their staffers, the Rattle Snake, Megatail and Megaclaw all catch fish. I haven't used much of their other stuff but I have to admit, the baits I listed consistently work for me.

I would have to say Hot.  For the applications I throw their baits I prefer them over other alternatives.  I use the snakes, Indigo worms, megatail, and the new craw with good success.

I'm just a little upset with Jerry for doing away with the black/blue rattlesnake.
