  • Mach baits? query on BBC Boards

    Started seeing them in stores. Website has Lews and Strike King logo too. Did Strike King need a new line of baits? Or is it a brand to compete with brands like 6th sense and Googan.

  • New Mach Baits discussion on Reddit

    Lews Mach baits have been a thing for like a year now at least. Have 2 jerkbaits and a couple of crankbaits. They work fine nothing special. Save yourself the money and buy some strike king jerkbaits they are essentially the same.

  • Jerkbait value discussion mentioning Megabass

    Are Megabass jerkbaits really that much better? I've never used one but have a hard time believing they're worth 25 euros a pop, especially if the fish are not too pressured.

    I love fishing jerkbaits in shallow water over grass. The erratic action drives bass crazy.
