It's a give and take with soft plastic. The more durable the plastic usually the less action it has. Also the softer baits like the keitechs maintain good action in colder water.

I have said the same thing to myself about the durability of both baits, yammys and Googans. The durability is terrible but the catchability is fantastic! I also believe you are spot on about why the baits get so much hate, it’s because people dislike the Googans for whatever reason. But you really can’t hate on a group that had been able to create a market for themselves in this industry. There has been some talk about some shady stuff going on with intellectual property theft by the Googans, that could be what’s sone of it comes from?? But all that crap aside, they’ve done well for themselves and no one take that away from them. Tight lines!

@@Shurmash you are correct that the durability issues are by design. However, not in the way you're suggesting. Ask any pro tournament angler and every one of them prefer a "softer" soft plastic. Not only does a softer plastic create a more realistic motion, but a bass is going to hold onto it longer. I am fine replacing a soft plastic after every single fish as long as I'm catching more fish. Every fish caught is worth it. I just won a tournament on Googan Slim Shake worms... I went through 3 packs of them. Totally worth it. 😁

I love my speed bags too but have you had any problem with the side of the bag bubbling out if some juice leaks out of a package? All of mine are getting bubbly on the sides. Something’s leaking lol. And I love all the Googan baits with one exception. Hate the rattlin’ Ned. I feel like a Ned bait needs 2 things. Buoyancy and durability. That rattlin’ Ned lacks both. The rattle is cool, but needs the other 2 characteristics for me to choose it over Sukoshi Bug or Z-Man.

I’m a huge fan of Zoom finesse worms, but I’m trying out the googan slim shakes this year to compare. All in all, it just depends on what lure you like in which brand. Googan might have a better speed worm, but Zoom might have a better finesse worm, etc. Just found your channel btw, new follower now and great content. 👍

Overall I like Googan baits, but I will say the lunker logs will sometimes split in half without even catching a fish just from wacky rigging them. Maybe they're wider than other senko style baits so the o ring is too snug, but they're the only ones I have had that problem with.

Some folks need cheaper baits like Zoom or Yum. I like a little bit of everything. I use Yum and Zoom too, but I like Biospawn, Zman, Big Bite Baits, Eurotackle's EPF swim, all the Mule Fishing baits, and Googan baits. Specifically the rattling ned, slim shake, and the drag'n'drop. I have other baits that do the same thing and are more durable. I still like to have them as an option, because they work really well for me.

I can easily get more fish on a senko than most. My secret? It’s all in the hook. Gamakatsu springlock superline with an owner large cps paired with a 6” senko is insane how durable it is. The only part that really gets damaged it the hooked area of the worm. After that, I bite off the tail and flip it around. Still works lol

Googan baits are good baits, but personally, that is not my issue with them. Generally their baits are not unique and they are pricey. The trench hawg is the most unique, and the mondo worm is worth a mention because it has a bigger body section and a bigger profile, so I feel like it gets a bigger strike. Other than these two exceptions, the baits are very standard. Not to mention that their color selection is too small, although I'm sure this will be fixed eventually.
