Anyone using the Bombshell Turtle
Has anyone used and caught largemouth bass on the Bombshell Turtle? If so, what color and how did you rig it?
Re: Anyone using the Bombshell Turtle
First, there have been two versions of this bait. The first had the curl on the front pair of legs facing forward--the opposite direction of the curl on the back two legs. The second version has the curl on all four legs going toward the rear of the bait , as one finds on lizard baits. It might be helpful if posters specified whether they have used Version 1 or 2.
I once used Version 1 in the brown color (forgot what they called it) on a pond that has more turtles than bass in it. I rigged it on a weighted swimbait hook (don't recall which make). I caught two bass of 1 1/2 pounds or less in about an hour of using it. I haven't used the lure since, though that wasn't bad productivity for a lure on this pond. I think the bait tore up and I figured I'd wait until I found a turtle-infested pond with bigger bass in it. Maybe such ponds aren't the best for bass survival; this pond's turtle population includes some moss-covered snapping turtles weighing 20 pounds or more.

I know a guy that uses them, but he can't catch fish.

Late to the party on them but my brother uses them and catches fish on them all the time. Dunno, if that helps.
