Anyone used the new rage tail baits?

Bassboss · 09-20-09, 08:42 AM

I've been wanting to get to Gander Mt. and get some, but, have not gotten around to it yet? But with that said, anyone use the new rage tail baits, any luck on them yet?

keithdog · 09-20-09, 08:53 AM

I've been using the rage tail frog since they came out and they are amazing. Probably the only hookless frog I'll buy from now on. Just purchased the new Spacemonkeys but havn't had a chance to work'em yet.

I've got all their old designs, but none of the newest stuff that just came out....i'm a believer in the Ragetail products so I will be gettin my hands on some of them....especially the "Eeliminator"....that dude looks like a fish catchin machine.

My favorite of the old baits is the Rage frog, and the Anaconda, and the Space monkey, but the Lobster and Ragecraw are hard to beat, and don't forget about the Rageshad....that sucker will catch fish like nobody's business.....On second thought....just get a package or two of everything they make....lol

Ya, I like the toads too! But I gotta rig them with a really light keel weighted hook, otherwise they run upside down. But I gotta say, hands down the bes rage tail bait is the anacond, from what I've used anyway. I've only used the shad, toad, and the annas. But 'course the elliminator looks SICK! Can't wait to get me summa dem too!

Rightside up, or upside down, the toad will catch bass.....and more....check out this video..lol. http://s103.photobucket.com/albums/m..._tail_toad.flv

Bassboss, if you'll check out Ragetails website they have a couple of videos and some info that might help you with riggin them so they don't flip over as much, but I too use alot of their baits on keel weighted hooks.

66KingFisher · 09-21-09, 09:25 PM

By the way....One of the guys on the Ragetail forum that has a knack for catchin hawgs, posted a little tip on his toad fishin success...Have a looksee.

Wow! Wudda pig! And ya, what BigB said, is the a circle hook?

66KingFisher · 09-22-09, 11:03 AM

I dunno, but thats about what it looks like.....definately isn't a EWG is it.

chief7101 · 09-23-09, 02:12 AM

yes it is a circle hook, Pail has been experimenting with them and the raig tail baits, and doing quite well i might add. He has a whole post on the rage talk blog site

BeaverIslander · 10-02-09, 09:34 AM

The only one I tried is the Rage Shad and I like it, esp the blk/red flake at night. With a EWG 5/0, I've never once had any problems with it flipping upside down. The heavy tail should be pointed down. Its acts as a keel as well as providing the action. They are kinda stiff tho, so sometimes they ball up on the hook during hookset and they fish gets off or I miss it completely.

oh yeahh i love em. the craws are awesome i use them as trailers but mostly for flipping. the space monkeys are awesome for flipping too. i have yet to try the rage shad. but the frogs are great too. pretty durable but expensive.

Ya, I've been wanting to get some of the craws and space monkeys, but I don't F/P to often, like up close with cover. How you think they are for casting to cover?

btw, I'm talking about the new, new ones:
