Some lures I bought from BassPro Toronto

H2O · 03-17-06, 09:21 AM

I went Toronto Bass Pro Shop yesterday, A lot of great stuffs are on spring sale now. However, I decided not to buy the rod and reel setup for plastic I mentioned in an early thread. I want to save my money for
fenwick techna av 7' (Thanks Zooker ) next time.

Any way, it is no way I just window shopping there since BPS holds the largest lure&bait collections in Canada. I bought some senko knockoff such as Yum Dinger and a knockoff from Basspro, some crankbaits and gamakutsu wide gap hooks. I use these all the time.

Also I bought something new for me, such a this guy:

TopKnocker

and this:
Bass Pro Shops® XPS™ Frog

Any feeback on these lures?

Thanks

They look pretty good, the frog looks yummy your bound to hang a bigun on that thing and as for the walking lure it might do some some good i have never had any luck on those things but thats just me.

the bps senkos are real stiff, or maybe its just the ones i got, they sure have alot of salt though

top knocker is awesome big sound chamber with some big old bearins rolling round in it.. great if you find a top water bite -which i did not see last year..

Greet to hear you. Did you buy the "Cotton Cordell Grappler Shad" I think they are only $3.99 now, and they work very well for Pike and Bass. The bright yellow one is the best for the early season Pike for sure!

bass kicker · 03-17-06, 07:54 PM

they are a great pike and walleye lure

bassdreamer · 03-17-06, 07:59 PM

no i didin't.i bought two rapala dt lures,one in black and silver and the one firetiger, they are great for walleye in quinte.

H2O · 03-17-06, 08:04 PM

So greet to hear you guys here! Lol

We got anything ready and we have to wait most two more months

bassdreamer · 03-17-06, 08:06 PM

bass kicker · 03-17-06, 08:10 PM

bassdreamer · 03-17-06, 08:59 PM

basskicker ,i never tried the yo zuri.are they for the summer or the fall? i use the taildancer,dt,s or bagleys for the summer and i use manns ,reef runners and the deep diving taildancers in the fall.

bass kicker · 03-17-06, 09:07 PM

HulaPopr · 03-18-06, 10:08 PM

Top knocker is a good bait, I haven't used them personally but I've heard good things about them and they've got a big rattle chamber. Fish the frog hor big bass in summer, thats all I've got to say about that.

bass kicker · 03-18-06, 11:48 PM
