reaction innovations sweet beavers

I got a few days (5) on the Potomac River a couple weeks ago, and caught most of my fish flipping a beaver in the grass. We were using braid, but the 3/0 Gamakatsu EWG Super Line hook was the one that kept the fish stuck. Now most of the time, we were flipping, within 10 feet of the boat, so that does make a difference. But I see no reason why the regular ewg would not do the same on mono. They like it up there, thats a fact! I usually use the beaver as a jig trailer, and works well, but never really go into flipping it around here on Cumberland or any of my local lakes. Started flipping it the other night on cumberland around lumber and caught a few smaller fish.

I have used them since they came out I guess. I always split the tail when throwing around rock and dont split it around grass to keep it a bit more compact. I have won big fish three times off this bait in tournaments. I use a #3 or #4 EWG hook with a 3/16 oz weight, heavier when flippin grass. Good thing about this bait is its weedless if hooked right and you can bite the tail off a bit after a couple hookups and keep on fishing it. The fish, for me, hardly ever short strike this bait like they would a craw or a worm. Buy a couple packs in dark colors with red or green in it and try them at your lake or pond.
