MattLures Baby Bass Series

[Bribass]

Any one used this bait? Any suggestions or reviews on it? Is it still a good bait for bass in the 15-20 inch range.. or is tageting just the monsters

I haven't used that particular bait...

I have used the bluegill series https://www.mattlures.com/bluegillswimbait.htm... You really don't get a feel for how big these baits actually are though until you hold them. They say they are 5", and that's true... but that gill is as big as my hand.

You need to buy an 8+ inch swimbait to weed out fish under 2 pounds. You will catch plenty of fish in the 15-20 inch range on that bait, and I guarantee you will catch bass under a pound on it.

This is a 6 inch bait that has a lot bigger profile than the Mattlures Bass.

One of the original "loafer" pictures....This bass was under 1.5lbs on a Mattlures Bluegill

The baby bass series is my favorite from matt lures, I havent got many fish on it but I have had a few nothing to large, and the bait seems to hold up well. I dont think I ever got a bite throwing the gill or the shads.

I say go for it, but really take the time and fish it slow. It will produce. It is over here in the North East.

let the fish tell you....
I have caught some good fish reeling at a fairly quick pace but most have come on the slow retrieve over grass. I love the baby bass series

I agree with redbug, but I find myself reeling them in slow, because I like watching the action to see if it is running right (not on its side or funky action).
