I just received the new Rago bluegill and the thing
is going to be a killer. Not just on the bed, it swims
perfect,the tail has the best action i have seen.
And it stands up on the bottom.
This is a prototype and they should be in stores soon.
There is also going to be 6", 6 3/4", 8", 10" trout with
the same tail. Pete A

Gill looks sick. Deadstick bait looks awesome too. I really need to develop the kind of patience it takes to just let a bait sit there for a long time.

Thanks Pete for taking the time to post the pics. That's what the new product board is all about right there :)

Dang, thats a huge looking bait!

BassSlayer619, so you know in these days of who copied who. Jerry made this tail a long time ago. Infact Jerry had his trout, with this tail in a few sizes at the Bass-a-thon and showed it to Matt(Matt Lures) and a few other people so there was no copying and the baits are different. These guys are working hard to make baits for us to catch the biggest bass in our lakes and all this finger pointing is hurting the fisherman. I know talented guys making baits that will not enter the market because of this. I am lucky to work with Jerry and also fish alot of guys baits and there is a time and place for most. There is no one bait for all conditions and if you think that you aren't going to be consistent.

I just noticed the baits are up on TW. Is there a difference b/w the two forms of the bait other than the hook? Is the bait w/ the top hook heavier?

thanks,
Nate

bait with top hook is for bottom fishing, the other is free swimming.

i picked up 2 bottom bouncers and 1 free swimming

Thanks for the info, Shane. Whats the approximate ROF on the two of them? How's the action?

--nate

in my opinion i would say the swimming is like an rof 5 maybe a little faster, the sinking bottom bait is like an rof 12 give or take a few on both.

Shane

Does anyone know if a stinger can be added to the one with the top hook? Thanks.

There is no wire eye on the belly of the one with the top hook. To add a stinger, you'd have to run something off the line tie or off the top hook.
