I threw the bait around today so here's the mini review since people are asking....

The Bass Harasser doesn't swim exactly like a huddleston but fairly similar. The hudd tail has a wag to it that you just can't get with a boot tail, even a modified one, so I think that's a limitation for this bait. Let's face it, the wedge tail design is the shi$$.

The body is all hudd to 1mm. Whether they made a mold of a hudd or scanned it in with some kind of 3d modeling software, I don't know but it's the same body with only very slight differentation in the outer texture (scales/gills). It's an injected bait from an aluminum mold from the look of it, so it's consistently shaped and cleanly molded. I don't think there's foam inside the bait to balance it but I didn't cut it open to check. My lure swam straight and I like the color options. I especially like the fact that the bait is poured clear so you get some transparency in the fins.

There's a few things with the bait that need work though and you can see why it's $25 not $40 when you look closely. The eyeballs are not glued on well and will probably fall off. The bait also smells very strongly like paint thinner which was a turn off for me. The frog hook on my bait was dull although this could have just been some kind of blem hook. The wire wrap around the frog hook to attach it to the belly is a good setup and less likely to tear up your belly than impaling the hook in the belly.

Overall it's a bait that's going to catch fish but there are some issues that need work like the eyes and the paint thinner smell. There's also the issue of whether people will buy a bait that is so similar to an existing bait (huddleston). If history in the industry is any indicator, people will at least try the cheaper option. Only time will tell if the fish agree that it's as good. For me, I ain't putting my hudds up on Ebay but I might toss the Bass Harasser around some to show the fish some different colors, after a good bath in mega strike of course.
