I've bent 1 on a red but no broken hooks yet.

We built the Vudu to catch Trout. Never said it would hold up on huge reds. We've had 9lb reds on but with line drag and had no problem. Not a redfish lure. We have lots of baits and great hooks for reds. We have had many reports of people catching 50 plus trout on one Vudu.

The redfish was an accident. :o

I'm not complaining!

Don't get me wrong I like the bait I have caught well over 50 on a single bait...your going to have someone say something about them no bait is 100% perfect

I have only had one hook bend and that was because I was trying to muscle the red to the boat. Never had one break.

Not bashing just seeing how common of a issue it was. Thought it was kinda odd for a hook to break, it was a fairly new bait been on maybe 3 trips.

does anyone carry these in new iberia?

Bukfins n feathers in Broussard got em

I caught a few nice Reds on them, no breaks, but some bends.
Mostly trying to get it out of the Red's mouff.
I have had very few broken hooks, but lots of bent hooks on many different kinds of lures.
Especially topwater lures.

Just got my first batch in - threw it in my swimming pool under a cork.

No bites in ~3hrs - :-)

Seriously, the Vudu slow falls AND THEN - at the bottom of the fall STAYS horizontal! - just like a hovering shrimp.

Sweet bait, will hit Grand Isle in a couple of weeks.

In the late Fall this past year, we saw Shrimp just sitting on top, right next to the boat.
I guess they were trying to stick to the side of the boat to camoflauge themselves.

Country station has them now.

Spoke to a dealer that has natural,m brown, and tigerstripe. any experience with these colors?

marshrunner757 04-04-2013 01:43 PM

I've fished the natural and the tiger. Like them both. The pink, the pearl/chartreuse and the gold are also good.
