Alternative to the Viper Risebacker
Alternative to the Viper Risebacker
Anyone have a good alternative to this bait? It has just become a very tough and expensive to procure the Viper Risebackers anymore...especially in this color.
I am also open to other similar baits that would have as tight a vibration as the Risebacker...and especially in this great Chartreuse color.

Re: Alternative to the Viper Risebacker
I know your looking for a alternative but Ichiban has one in that colour. Plus other colours for $9.99.

Just a FYI!
Those kind of look like the Spro traps. I have a buddy that swears by those.

Yes...don't know about the internals, hardware, etc....may have to pick one up to toss around and compare.Afrayedknot wrote:aruku shad looks very similar
Re: Alternative to the Viper Risebacker
Don't know about the comparison either, but Aruku is a great bait and worth a test.dragon1 wrote:Yes...don't know about the internals, hardware, etc....may have to pick one up to toss around and compare.Afrayedknot wrote:aruku shad looks very similar

Arukus are my favorite lipless crank right now. I'm like my wife changing clothes though, next week it'll be something different.SaltyBass wrote:Don't know about the comparison either, but Aruku is a great bait and worth a test.dragon1 wrote:Yes...don't know about the internals, hardware, etc....may have to pick one up to toss around and compare.Afrayedknot wrote:aruku shad looks very similar

I need to get a few of these Arukus...they seem to be well liked and receive excellent overall reviews.smalliesteve wrote:Arukus are my favorite lipless crank right now.

Re: Alternative to the Viper Risebacker
magic shad, spooky shad, and clear chart have been my favorites so far.
Aruku Jr's are my go-to lipless for creek smallies. Deadly on a pulsed (moderate rip and fall) retrieve.
