Bite-A-Bait Floater Fishing Lures

This is a well made lure that has great action. For a topwater floating lure, it dives deeper than other brands, and rises back to the surface perfectly horizontal.

I used some of these lures in both fresh and saltwater. I caught some very nice largemouth bass (up to seven pounds) and some very big jack crevalle (up to ten pounds).

In both arenas the fish always hit the lure as it rose back to the surface. I worked it tow or three times to get it down in the water, and the fish hit it as slowly floated back up.

I was able to catch spotted seatrout, redfish and jack crevalle all on the same trip and all on the red and white color scheme. On a freshwater trip a week later, I took a silver side model with a black back and worked it exactly the same way up against some lily pads. The bass hit this pure with a vengeance, and always as it rose back to the surface.

There are a number of floating lures on the market that will dive down under the surface. The Bite-A-Bait dives deeper than any of them - down to about three feet. The depth advantage means a longer float back time. That extra time floating back to the surface means more time in the strike zone.

Overall these are great lures. The only drawback for saltwater fish is that the small treble hooks will tend to get mangled by larger fish. I replaced the original hooks with size 4 trebles. The lure's action did not change perceivably and I catch the larger fish without fear of loosing them.
