Crazy lure that might just work !

[@Ryandawson018]

No.1 they WILL work No.2 when you start using stuff like this i don't class it as fishing , the art is lost .. No.3 too expensive , go on to Ali express ,half the price .. No.4 better for pike IMHO,👍🏻

[@christopherbishop5014]

Make sure you rinse it with fresh water after you use it in salt water . I made a mistake and put them away straight after fishing and the prop motor was rusted solid . Even put a touch of wd40 on it when you put it away

[@simonirwin8189]

Did make me chuckle watching this, but Bass are never truly predictable so you never know, I've had takes from a stationary lure transition to trolling so I wd use one on an exceptionally lazy day from a kayak, over some reef or similar feature but not deep enough to snag! Lol, great video Matt.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Cheers Simon. Do occasionally get them on un retrieved surface lures I supose

[@damianowens5066]

I saw these on Ali Express I can't remember the price but I don't think they were that expensive? I really can't see them working because everytime they stop the bass would be able to have a good look at them and probably laugh there fins off 😂🤣 The is a cast and retrieve mackerel one very similar for about £4 on Ali Express which I have bought just to give it a go? On the little video's they sometimes do to promote their products it actually looks and very realistic but I'm not holding my breath! You never know though I could work?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Damian I thought about the pause part of thier action, maybe competitive hunting bass are needed rather than fussy ones. Good stuff and its a bit of fun , ill give it another go if this water clears

[@damianowens5066]

@@SaltwaterAngler good luck! 😂😉🎣👍

[@Eoghanbass2000]

Of course it will work, i've seen a guy catch a bass on a carrot off the surface. :-)

[@nicholascavie2464]

Works ok in AUS used 1 at weekend

[@stoney332]

They work for pike 100% I havnt seen anyone using them for anything else to be honest I'm not saying they won't I've just seen them used for pike that's all

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes probably better suited to fresh water- this one rusted over in its second outing

[@thekid8562]

Great action on that lure. Thanks for sharing...

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks yes it looks good

[@niteshade295]

I Bought one of them, Paid £42 from ebay haven't used it yet, I played with it in the bath as you do to see how it works and I have to say the action is very realistic. I have to say I did feel sorry for your fish in the aquarium

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Great let us know how you get on With it. Dont worry about my goldfish they are tough little things 😂😂😂

[@trampster7306]

Fascinating video Matt - that's definitely something a little different! Personally I wouldn't buy it - I'd fear it was a bit too expensive to lose if it got tangled in weed or rocks, but interesting to see anyway! Tight lines!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Sure thing been casting it today and it's getting over riskier ground

[@MD-xl3lj]

I’ve got the same one

[@stoney332]

I've seen a lad Pike fishing with them and he was absolutely smashing it every cast canal fishing a bit pricy doh ya wouldn't wanna be loosing them that's for sure

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I’ve been told you can get them cheaper

[@stoney332]

@@SaltwaterAngler hopefully 40 is a bit pricey

Someone was saying 16 on wish

[@malc380]

I prefere the mini sub with the torpedo option lol, but we must explore all the avenues I guess! ;)

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Brilliant! I guess there's a line where the joy and skill of angling stops and technology takes over. Let's keep it reel!! However that mini sub might just work! Aim torpeds and Fire!

[@manonamountain]

Once fishing gets to that sort of level, it's time to say goodbye.

[@christopherbishop5014]

Nonsense what's the difference in using this instead of sticking hooks into a live bait?

[@231978jimmy]

Poor fish, has no chance against CIA. What next ? a fishing road with remote control )))

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Ha ha ! I’m still yet to catch with this thing , the motor rusted after one trip and I occasionally use it down the side of harbour walls like a normal lure .

[@I.have.an.std.]

I think 40 £ is to much and I’m not to shore about the quality I bought a different type and it broke in a couple of trips i think there meant for bass in America

[@damianowens5066]

Sorry to tell you this but only £19 on Ali Express! If it's on Ebay or Amazon check Ali Express before you buy anything because they are usually a lot cheaper

[@trampster7306]

True, but beware of added VAT, import duties, and the dreaded Royal Mail £8 handling fee, if it arrives via them. I bought a nice pair of shoes from AliExpress for £29, and had to pay another £13 in duty & handling fees before Roayal Mail would deliver them!

[@damianowens5066]

@@trampster7306 that's usually when the order has come via America but if comes from China you might have to wait longer but what you see is what you pay! Normally? I have ordered tonnes of stuff from Ali Express and never been charged any extra charges

Thanks guys

If it swam a litte further before stopping it would probably catch, at least onthe rocks!
