Default Luck-E-Strike Bass Magic Swimbaits

Just saw these at Academy today.

They look like a knock off of the Basstrix Paddle Tail Tube in 5-6 different colors at $6.99 a pack. I picked up the 3.5" & 4.5" in the "Natural Shad" color. Can't wait to give them a try this week......
thought I'd share the new product!!

Picked up some last weekend at local Academy. They have great action, enough you can feel it as you crank it back, even slow. Wish they would get some of the 6.5" baits.

Im going to give these a go tomorrow, just not sure where I'm going to go. Im thinking Decker, Town Lake, Travis, Bastrop, Inks, or Buchanan, Travis is about 10 minutes from the house so thats probably where I will end up. Gonna be cold in the morning........

I like the magic minnow good action not as much as the bastrix but after two or three fish an bastrix is done you can catch five or six on an magic minnow.
