I don't think the lure looking like a mouse had anything to do with it. If they'll hit that, then they'll hit about any topwater bait.

Never seen a mouse with a treble hook hanging...kind of goes against the whole idea of fishing a mouse, which is for being on top of or in thick vegitation and needing something weedless.

Regardless though, cool video.

you might be right, but my buddy was fishing a jitterbug right next to me and did'nt catch anything. I think the tail looking like a senko helps

Agree with Artcarney. The look or detail of the bait had little to do with catching the fish (IMO). I toss frogs or mouse baits in thick stuff or weedy stuff and a treble would not allow that.

The bait looks great but to me only to be used in open water or weed free areas. They need that in a double frog hook like other frog baits (spro) so it can be tossed in the thick stuff. The tail is different and that might get a few extra looks from bass?

Maybe...I might try adding a Senko as a trailer on a Pop-R, Spook, or frog and see how that does.

That reel is pretty decent, I have a really old Cabelas Fish eagle that actually cast better than anything I have, maybe it just worn in or something.

lol - done it before I changed out the rear treble for a worm hook and rigged a 1/2 of a power worm on it - talk about bluegill bites yeah baby!!!! bass it didn't seem to matter.

I liked the video, that was cool. You like that ole ABU you are using they don't make that one anymore, I love mine, those were great reels.

I wouldn't be to quick to discount that bait Art, sometimes they can be very selective....
