Sammy Colors?

[mhall]

APB'S handmade walkers put'em to shame. That being said I do own a couple and they are good baits. I hate the price and I especially hate giving my money to the **** Japanese, sorry for the rant.

If you got to the Lucky Craft web site, and then go to items and topwaters when you click on the size sammy that you want there will be roughly 40 or so different colors for the baits. some are pretty wild and others just simply incredible. there is also an animated screen that shows you how the sammy works and how the fish feel about it. pretty nice. luckycraft.com

mhall, who makes the APB's? I've never heard of that or maybe I can't think of the acronym. Where could I find some?

If you're on one of Bill Dance's fishing ponds, it doesn't matter what you throw.... but above all, you got to throw something you have confidence with on these public waters.. tight lines

A little weight on the back of any zara spook or puppy you already have will make it act just like a sammy. But I can say I do have some way over priced sammys. Been there done that and learned from my mistakes.

Hey fella's and Gals,

Just to let you all know that Bull Frog Creek is going out of Business and all Lures are 50 % off and they have a nice selection of Lucky Craft Baits. Everything else in the store is 25% off.....
Things are going fast in the store since the first time I was in the store.

It's ashame that another Tackle Store is folding up in the area. There aren't many more left and soon the only way to get anything will be to buy online. I'd rather buy local so that my money stays in the area I live in, plus it helps out the locals more in the long run.

Thanks for all responses. I bought 1 in the 115 model in the Ghost Minnow Color(Only color they had) and really liked how it preformed as well as the results. I did catch a lot of small fish and had several blow up on the bait but kept working it back, After I fugured out to let it set after one missed, they came back and hit it again.
I have managed a few keepers, but nothing great, YET!

Another Question, do any of you have better results on the smaller sizes or do most use the 115 model.

Thanks

i fish a small size, probably not in most stores. Mainly i fish smaller baits, but the action of my small one is awesome. i think that the action of a larger one would be incredible and something that larger fish simply wouldn't be able to resist. But that is pure speculation and here-say. Because of the waters, and tackle that i use, small is good for me.

I feel that it is also important to state AGAIN that the Sammy took a Zara Puppy 10- 0, at the same place at the same time, just for the doubters. Also i got mine out of the trees just as many times as he did, but probably had less of a heart attack than him.

Bleeding Chart Shad, just got some Lemon Ghost and have had a bit of luck with them.

The sammy was my first LC lure. In the last 18 months, I have caught more fish on the Sammy 85 then I have caught on Zaraspooks in my entire lifetime and by a big margin. I have never lost a Sammy so these make pretty safe lures to start with.

I've also gotten into Pointer 78's and 100's. The 78 is a fish catching machine if you get into them just right. I owe my best morning of bassfishing to the 78 on the morning we had the huge cold front come in last spring (the one that killed all the trees). I will never forget it!

I've had more luck with Daiwa lipless cranks then the LC versions thus far so for me they would not be worth the $15 per bait.

I like the 100 size the best. I also have a 78 which works OK but it doesn't walk as fluidly as the 100. The 78 wants to jump around some where the 100 walks perfectly. I purchased a 65 but I couldn't get it to walk much at all -- even on 4 lb test. I haven't tried the 115 but I bet it would work well like the 100s.

Sammy...Tenn. shad color, is my choice. But I find that sammys are only good for clear water, like Dale Hallow, when it's cold...for big smallies!!!...But when you have stained water, like on the river...go to the buzz bait..or a splash-it! I'll never forget, when I won the 50 grand, in the big bass tournament; I had a sammy tied on. But when my partner Kevin had two huge blow-ups on his buzz bait...but they missed the hook, ....and I had zero strikes on my sammy...with about 15 casts, after Kevin's second blow-up..I got a good look at the smallie that missed his buzz bait...it was a trophy, right by the boat!! I immediatly dropped to my knees, bit off my sammy...tied on a buzz bait, slid on my Gary Yomamoto grub...and a trailer hook. Water was coffee color...current rolling...my first cast landed a 2.5 large mouth...my 4 cast caught a 5 pound smallmouth...Go figure. It was a 50 grand decisison to go with the buzz bait ...vs the Sammy. Im so glad I did..gee wizz what a move...could have wrote it up better!

Does the weighted tail on the Sammy's improve the performance other than casting? I fish the Sammy's often, when fish are really active on the top. However, on slower days (still getting blow-up's but no takers) I like the the still action of the Zara Spook a little better. They will float level on the pause, where the Sammy will float vertically.
