Jim137a Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Took the plunge and ordered a couple of baits from Banderuola - once I get them I’ll post up what I think about them I’d appreciate anyone else that gets on to post their impressions and catches with them. Check out their swim videos on IG @banderuola.designs iFishLA, Jon P and 253caster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but I justify / rationalize it in my mind by saying its a hand carved wood bait. Lol Mr.B and Jinxd12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon P Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 I really like the idea of the angled fins adding some resistance to the body. Though that’s still a lot of dough for two baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eveninglabor Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 The going rate for a bait these days seems to be $150 on average for a resin bait. So i wouldn’t say $200 for a wood bait from Japan is that crazy at all. Not sure what these dudes are talking about. That goes for any bait not this one specifically.

168 Rookie Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Noob question: what are the three long wires in the pic for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogers954 Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 I stumbled across his bait a few months back and started following. The biggest advantage IMO is how he fishes it on the bottom in deep water. The wire rig seems to keep it snag free and this appeals to me because in my experience the largest fish that have caught in my area have come from the deepest parts of the lakes usually next to a wall or big drop off. I usually fish hudds in these places but do not feel like it’s always the right approach especially in summer. I plan to fish the one i bought during the drop primarily weighted with the wire so it will sit in those deep parts of the lake. Was hoping for a trout but they went fast so i snagged a perch, if anything I’ll get motivated to finally use the new airbrush to lay down a trout pattern.

The wire will keep the hooks from snagging on the bottom and hopefully deflect the bait away from other snags etc. watch the videos I posted above. 168 Rookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
