Did a little shopping spree on TW Sunday night and got the goodies this evening. There was a chill to the air but I took a few minutes to do some quick tests. Here's the first impressions:

Pretty painful. The plastic felt cheap and stiff. You'll need a massive hook with a good chunk of weight to even begin to make this thing fishable. With 90000000 basstrix clones out now, it wasn't compelling

Not bad. Not amazing either. Decent body wobble. Requires a large weighted hook. The Tennessee Shad color is decent looking. Inexpensive price wise.

This one's for you Urban. I wasn't half as impressed as I was with the small one. It seemed like the baits I got had been sitting in the package for a long time. They were coated in this weird goo. Maybe it's just me but I'm not a fan of weird goo. The baits swam ok but need a lot of weight. They don't need that big of a hook which is nice. The smoke and gold color reminds of the Megabait Charlie in that color. Some guys like that one. I'm undecided on this lure.

It's legit. Like everything from Jackall. Awesome hooks, perfect rigging. The lure has nice body wobble and swims perfect. Not a bait for burning on the surface! But superb on a medium retrieve. Worth the money.

Lake Fork Magic Shad 5.5 Inch - 3 baits for $4.89
Where have I been all these years on the Magic Shad? Head under a rock or something. Love the action on this lure. Like a fluke but wiggly. I can't imagine actually hooking and landing a bass if you just pin this on an EWG and fish it, but hang a treble off the belly and you should be in business. Reasonable price, nice colors. Take a $5 bill and explore this one.

Well it only costs $1 per tail. But they seem to have forgotten the eyeballs. The body shape is exactly like a Basstrix and it swims exactly like a Basstrix. This one uses a slit in the belly for the hook vs. a hollow core. Seems like a good lure but I like swimbaits with eyes so I'll probably spend the extra pennies and get Basstrix or the Berkeley clone.

We've reached the bargain basement in price and although Spro's other baits are great, this one left me with the feeling of cheap Chinese junk lures in my mouth. The nose on 4 out of the 5 lures was permanently bent from curing in the plastic bag. These things are made out of that 3x type plastic which seems cool but has never really caught on well over the years. I have no idea how you are supposed to put an EWG hook through the solid 1/2" of plastic body and still hook fish but if you cut the head off with scissors and pinned this on a 1.5oz Hammerhead jighead, you could probably catch some Ling Cod. Sorry Spro, this one needs fine tuning on the factory floor.

An Uncle Josh swimbait? Yes its true. It looks like a Reaction Strike OEM deal but I don't know for sure. This one surprised the heck out of me. It swam money! Even better, it has a shad action. You can walk it along under water or slow wind it. Looks terrific. Hate the fact that it has only one hook but what can you do. It is a lot like the BBZ-1 Shad but the action is a big differentiator, as are the transparent colors. I like this lure.
