Sammy Colors?

[MsgMills]

Yes ghost peral lemon works great on Ky lake. I have somewhere between 75-100 Lucky Crafts. Other than staysees and pointers I can say, (and I use them) I do not beleive they catch anymore fish then Bandits, or any other hardbait.
They do however catch US the anglers that have got to have that MAGIC new bait.
I have learned to live by AL Linders saying: The wrong bait in the right place is better then the right bait in the wrong place.

Say What!!!!! 75-100 Lucky Craft baits....People like you keep paying $ 15.00 a piece for them, no wonder they never drop in price...... I have a couple of sammy's and a few pointers, but I traded stuff to get the pointers I have. But I can honestly say the first time I used a sammy I caught a 3lb bass on it.

I have to admit that most of mine came from the pre-LC hot days. And most came from Japan via e-bay. At one time you could get some really good deals from Japan on e-bay. Also there were many Japan colors only available on e-bay. Still your correct, I have spent way too much on these baits.
I have some friends with just as many, not sure if they use theirs as much as I use mine.

i just find it hard to believe that a mass produced lure should even cost half that.i can see the balsa baits bagleys puts outor others, but injection molding isn't that expensive.i can look in rod locker and find 14 gloomis rods with johnny morris reels,i just look at the owner and ask if he is sick.i figure with a boat full of lucky crafts and g loomis the fish should just surrender,plus the triton tr21,but wait a minute...they have no clue what he his using....
guess i'll stick with river runts,cedar stumps,and a bayou boogies...
not knocking anyone or trying to argue but i just get amazed at what we think we need to catch a fish..

As you could read in an earlier post i seemed to think that a Zara Puppy in the same situations would produce the same as a similar color and size Sammy... My partner and i tried it out on the creek yesturday and the results...

After i had already caught 10 on the topwater including a real nice 15.5", my partner tied his Zara puppy on, we would cast into just about the same spot and walk the dog all they way back, these baits within a couple feet of eachother just heading back our way. I then caught about 10 more to his 0. They wouldn't even hit the puppy, except one big blow up right off a big boulder.

I can't really explain it, they both looked good, but the Sammy just did the trick, and right next to eachother in the water the sammy took the Puppy 10- 0 on a SLOW day.

I have to concur on the Sammy's outfishing other walkers. I have several others - Zaras, Yo Zuris, and a couple of others that didn't impress me and I held out for ever on buying a hard bait at $15. But I got a Bass Pro gift certificate and thought I would give one a try and I have not been disappointed. They out fish any other walker by a long shot. I now have 3 and I feel I don't really need many more than that.

I also feel the same about the pointers. Best jerk bait I have used by far. I have caught some incredible fish with them and the more I use them the more I like them. Expensive - yes. The price of my time fishing and quality of the experience - priceless. I can pony up for a few of these when it helps me out.

Forget the Sammy...go with a Gunfish! I don't think there's many that know about the Gunfish...

[PatientlyWading24]

yea i know about it, i wish they would come out with a smaller size. Do you feel it is a better topwater than the sammy? with it being a combination of two different topwater types, would it just have a different affect all together?

[WacoWildcat]

The gunfish has it's days for sure. Especially if you want a big commotion. I also agree that the 100 is the best overall size. I also like the 115 at certain lakes. Word of warning DON'T GET THE LIVE SAMMY. It is hard to walk and the action is not that great plus it's $20+.

They have 3 sizes of gunfish.....2.9,4.0,4.5 "

[PatientlyWading24]

yea i have looked on Luckys site, the smallest i saw was the 95 model, possibly 85. but the Sammy that i am using is still a few sizes below both of those. That thing is perfect where i fish, and even if they are somewhat on, they will eat that thing up. i also feel that 2 'Crafts' in the creek pack is perfect for right now. thanks though.

Hey guys,

I got a ghost lemon sammy for my birthday last year, and if you read my post about Barkely today, I tried throwing the sammy around all those busting big bass. I guess I just don't know how to fish a sammy. I had it on a Loomis Rod, a Shimano Japanese Reel (bought the combo from a friend). Taking that rod and reel into consideration with a Sammy and a tourney prepared bass boat, the fish should have jumped in the boat. Hmmmm, maybe if they had, we would have caught them. LOL

Anyone want to buy my Sammy?

I know what you mean when you say the fish should have jumped in the boat with all the gear we use. LOL. I've burned them up on that lake with that lure though. Fall is coming up soon and I'll be there in October. That's when it really gets good. In the spring and fall is when I think it works best out there. If it was me I would hang on to it atleast through October. You might change your mind about getting rid of it.
