chirmy Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 I see alot of talk about swimbaits and how expensive they are. I just added 5 Osprey lures to Ebay. One I put for .99. Maybe some of you can get it for cheap and see what the hype is about. They are a huge chunk of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick~em Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Chirmy; Those baits catch a lot of different species. Predominately Stripers and Lg mouth here in VA and some are catching smallies and Walleyes in the Osprey 4" sizes. We caught a lot of Stripers last Dec in the Chesapeake Bay off VA inshore. Most of the time you only catch one to two fish and it's over when the hooks get ripped out of the belly and tear it out towards the nose of the bait. I don't have any pictures up on my website on repairing these like others but I have fished for stripers for as many as 4 days getting active hits most of the time on these baits and using my new fishing glue to repair them. Please tell me where there at on Ebay if you don't mind/?? Screemin' Reels! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirmy Posted May 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Stripers really tear them up. So do Large mouth but who cares when they are 8-10lbs. I sold the 5 I had on Ebay but will have more next week. In fact the ones next week Byron Velvick will be Tuning up so they are tournament ready.

Stick~em Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Chirmy; Again, please tell me where there at on Ebay if you don't mind so I might bid on them/?? If you are getting them for cheap, you don't have to worry about the cost but, we do. Some sell for as high as $30 a piece. That is why I don't mind fixing them with my glue. Screemin' Reels!
