Are these lures actually as good as they claim on TV?

Hi Raymond, I wish I could help you but I haven't used mine yet. I intend to get back to bass fishing sometime, but I'm basically a fly fishermen and I'm having a hard time putting my mind back into spinning gear mode. Yes, they sound good, and I hope someone can offer you a definitive answer soon. Tight lines! Regards, Ron

Absolutely not. My husband and I tried them all weekend and got nothing...not even a bite.

I bought these as a gift from my Father-in-law to one of his Great Grandsons. When I spoke to the Great Grandson, he said that most of the lures were for really big fish and he wished they had more lures for the medium sized fish. He didn't say how well they worked per say, but from the fact that he wished there were more smaller lures, I figured they worked. He did say he caught a fish with the smaller lures.

I used them twice and really can't say they work. I did not catch anything. I was fishing at my dock.

he only used like three times, and only once he did catch a bass with this lure, He didn't sound too enthusiastic about it. Maybe we will go to bigger pond, lake, river next month and see what happens.

I am sorry to say that I am not sure. My grandson ordered several lures, but he only fishes the lakes and rivers. I do not know if has got anything with, or even used it.

Pretty well but hasn't killed them all. over time I'm confident. There is a bait they make that seems to have good reviews. I'd look up German cock roaches.

Our experience: we use them like fly swatters. They don't "attract" mosquitos per se. They have a bluish light, but as the instructions were written by someone better versed in Mandarin, we don't see much value. Just their novelty is worth the purchase.

Flowtron offers fly lures that you can attach to the cage. These do a great job! A friend uses a picture of Obama, and he claims that is just as effective.

These are only about 5 inches long. They work great on the standard inshore lures.

I would say that the attractant is critical. These things REALLY work. They smell bad, so do not place near your house, entryways, or patios. But, you'll catch hundreds of flies per day!

Have used in saltwater but with lighter lures. Most of my use has been freshwater for muskellunge. Deals with 20 to 30 lb fish effectively. My lure of choice is virtually always on the lighter side and does not include the traditional large Muskie baits.

I own several Okumas and have owned others in the past. They are excellent performers. The only ones that have failed me are those that escaped over the side of the boat when I was not paying attention. I use 40s and 50s for trolling and coastal fishing. I use 20s and 30s for throwing lures for bass. I think that the 30 will do the job for you without wearing you out. I use 8 lb. mono on my 30s and have had no issues. Great reel.

I have one too, and the things really don't work very well. I've seen them go in and come right back out. Did catch a few that died but they definitely are not worth the money.

sure. It is a pliers in the front with a split ring grasping jaws makes it easy to put the big snagging trebles on the lures we use. Just kidding. We only use single hooks without a barb. Real sports.

My Calcutta's clicker is very notice able when the fish is running with the bait. I have about 5 Calcutta 400b's (one being handed down to me and is over 5 years old) and all of the clickers have held up through out the years flawlessly. Very impressed!

yes. they work really well and can remove hooks that have been swallowed without hurting the fish. Great multipurpose tool.

Sorry, I cannot help you. I have never used these lures in deep salt water. I have only used them in brackish (sp?) water and I have never caught anything on them. So sorry. . .. . .

Without a doubt. During my issues I caught more than 30 of them. They just have to land one foot on it and they are done. This only applies to the larger traps. I can't vouch for the smaller traps sold in bulk packs of 60.
