Saltfisher Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I love the kinky beaver, and looking for as close to a bait as I can to it. I know RI is very sue happy when companies start making baits like it. So was not expecting to find a bait similar. BUT.... I came across the 538 creature from bass tackle. 4 cavity is a little pricey, but dont really care about price. I just want a good bait. I slam bass on the kinky beaver (same as sweet beaver but with tentacles). This looks to be as close as I can find to it, and it looks very close. Any thoughts to it? Or is there something like this out there that can save me a few bucks? Thanks guys!! http://www.basstackle.com/538_Creature_p/538-kj-1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 it actually looks like it would have better action... im not a huge fan of the RI beavers, i dont see good enough action with them. how do you fish em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltfisher Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I thought the same thing about the,.But was throwing all kinds of stuff one day, at the poconos. Then got desperite, and put one one in 420 color. I had 5 fish in the boat in 2 hours over 3lbs. I started using them often, and got quite a few nice fish when everyone else got the skunk. I think the best way for me, is fishing around rocks, structure, or pads. I will throw it in and let it sink. I give it aggresive pops off the bottom, and do very good on them. I will T rig it on a 4/0 EGW. I also will put a bobber stop on my line, put on a red glass bead so i get a clicking like a carolina rig. I'll slide the bobber stop about 1/2" from the hook eye, so the bead has a little room to move and make noise. You should give them another try, that way and see what happens.

ipt Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 i picked some up this winter, gotta wait until march to try em out though! i throw everything in a test pool, so the action in there was weak. im sure they will work, you can catch bass on anything that moves haha. you are fishing them weightless? i figured id fish em weighted maybe on a jig head.
