I have used them, and think they are the best substitute to the Basstrix paddle tails on the market. They swim with a nice tail kick as well as a good little body wiggle which is similar to the Basstrix. With that being said they are NOT Basstrix paddle tails. The Money Minnow colors are nowhere close to what Basstrix produces and the Basstrix still has, IMO, a better action. I think that the money minnow is a good bait especially in situations where the water is not crystal clear.

I havn't tried them but based on the feed back I read on the web everyone who has tried them has had good things to say about them but most seem to agree that they are not as good as the Bass Trix. I think the the Bow Minnows look like a lot the Bass Trix. I was going to going to give them a try. Has anyone tried the Bow minnow?? Here's the link.

I used some of the Money Minnows in Oregon. They work but the swim is different. The colors kind of suck too. I would say they are a decent alternative to the Basstrix.

I do not like the Rainbow Worm Bow minnows, but it is just on mans opinion. The action of the Bow Minnows is all in the tail, with very little to no body wiggle. Again I feel that the Money Minnow swims more like the Basstrix than any of the imitators that I have seen, I just wish their colors were better.

Matt,

You need a field tester? }(

Those baits look sweet! Will they be available to buy anytime soon? How big are they?
