Evergreen Rat-A-Tat

Post by bassbandit » Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:36 am

A while back, before the data loss, I posted asking about this bait. I can't remember if anyone ever replied. Is anyone out there fishing either of these versions? I'm not crazy about the price, but I really dig the looks.

Any feedback would be apprecaited.

I have the Rat A Tat and the Rat A Tat Hyper Sonic but not the Magnum.

I like the Hyper Sonic a lot and has proven itself. It has been up to the task of competing with the BuzzJet Junior specially when a slower approach is needed or you need something capable of going through nasty cover and believe me it does it with distinction. This is a must have :-#

About the Rat A Tat, I have kind of mixed feelings as I have cough fish in situations where a sammy would not make then break the surface and I have even lost a huge fish just at my feet but the worm keeper doesn't convince me. It needs to be replaced by owner CPS. Normally I use it without trailer but 6 or 7" worms give it an extra life.

If you fish flat areas that are relatively shallow, lets say 7' or less, than this may be a great weapon for you on does cold front days. :evil:

I have all three and pretty much agree with Carlos, but would say look at the Magnum as a WakeBait over the other two. I would start with the colors that work for you with other compatible baits....They do catch fish.
