Re: evergreen
The esdrive is more of sub surface s pattern lure. I like it a lot specially for pike.lund40 wrote:Bought a few esdrives and two esflats, anyone use these baits, and how is the action......canlt wait to use mine.
The esflat goes deeper with the same s pattern swim action.
Both are great lures. I would say the esflat can be used to cover more water faster and deeper while the esdrive is more of a technical lure for the right spots where you want to fish it dead slow with a few stops or twitches. Also, you can burn the esdrive without any problem but for me, almost dead slow retrieve is the answer.

The esflat is a great little bait, you will love those things. What colors did you ick up?
Re: evergreen
Bluegill and three lips....i saw that photo of carlos with that monster pike you caught with a esdrive
Re: evergreen
I just picked up a Timberflash off of ebay, good looking bait. Any of you guys fish this yet ?
Re: evergreen
I've had much success with the esdrive myself on pike and muskie up here in Minnesota. Just as Carlos said the retrieve that works best for me is also a slow steady one and i love throwing near boat docks or just right outside of vegetation. The rod i recommend is the X4 Destroyer and i think it matches perfectly.

Matter of fact, the Esflat is also my (and a good) choice for use on the X4 Destroyer. They all seem to be reasonably light; not requiring any heavy duty rod req'ts. Really wish these baits were easier to find and with better prices. The prices on these suckers are crazy high!
