Mike Clifford Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I have exhausted all but my topwater version of the old Bettencourt Baits rodents, and just came upon a very interesting variation on the diving rodent concept: It's made by Rago Baits.

Jim Kast Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 What.... no fluffy hair? Save your money and buy the soft shad baits, those look sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Clifford Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Yeah, no hair- that ain't right. BUT- I'm really digging the jointed concept that "wags the tail". I think that is the real attractor there...the tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm M Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Mike, I have a chocolate lab, I could prolly sweep up enough hair to cover them rats if you want to glue it on them. Either that or wait til I get my annual trim if you want white rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim bielecki Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I would go one step further....use Norm's hair of course, but then I would alter the bait a bit to make it more realistic. First get some super glue and cut off the tail. Go to Pet Smart and Pick up one of their adult frozen rats. With some simple surgery you can remove the tail. Then carefully replace the old fake one with a real new one! Of course you can thaw and use the frozen rat on a single number 5 hook but they don't hold up as well....they also tend to float on their backs....
