Also, since they can be a bit tricky to retrieve while getting maximum effect from their unique design, you will find it well worth the time to experiment with different retrieve speeds where you can observe the lures' action before going fishing. You must pause for an instant upon the lure hitting the water to allow the lure to point its lip down before beginning your retrieve, or else the lures will just skim the surface. ![]() 3.The lures turn over on their sides when retrieved. Using a Daiwa Tatula 7 Medium Heavy, Regular action rod, coupled with a Tatula SV TW reel spooled with 50 pound Power Pro with a 20 pound Stren Magna Thin monofilament as leader to increase buoyancy, I can cast a long distance with these lures. Casting them far requires the right tackle. Of course they dont, because they are designed to zig zag through the water and not follow a straight path back to the boat. As far as criticisms of the lure go: 1.They dont run true. Since they too have produced well, I just ordered the Scatter Rap Crank 07 in regular and shallow versions to add their larger body profile to my scatter crank line-up. I then purchased the Shallow version and Deep versions, both in the 05 size, to cover the water column from 3 feet to 12 feet overall. On my first day using it, I caught a 7 pound 2 ounce largemouth, and subsequently 4 pound 5 ounce and 4 pound 8 ounce bass, all of which sold me on the Scatter Rap concept. I decided to try the Scatter Rap Crank 05 because its lip causes it to dart around on its own. However, they do hunt very erratically.Ĭomments: When aquatic plants began to die down due to colder water temperatures this fall, I found my usual crankbaits ineffective because there was no grass to deflect them on the retrieve. I was in 5 foot of water and trying to bounce them off rip rap and no matter which one of the Scatter Rap family I tried, I never even touched the rocks. but this lure is a Go To for me on all my normal species ! RIP a friggin LIP!! Try this lure you'll find some great quality fish!įrom: Kreg: Colorado springs, Colorado 5/1/19Ĭomments: No matter what I use I can't get them to dive any deeper than 3 or 4 foot like one review said. wiper is one of the reason I normally go 15lbs line (while bass fishing) both techs for the bigger fish will work but it isn't as fun as ripping it at a higher speed closer to the top! Another reason this lure rocks!! faster speeds keep it higher up which I love for pike!! You literally can get this lure to surface, then i slow it down for a second to make it dive again, as soon as it speeds up and goes towards the top they DESTROY this lure!! Think about you look for bait fish hitting the surface! Why cuz you know something's making them jump!! ONLY negative for me is the lip because of the design I snap a lot of them off on the bottom & after catching some bigger ones it'll snap off. line preference for me nothing UNDER 8lds test I usually run 10-15lbs.pike fishing I'm running a higher test line and 1ft steel leeder. I will jerk it when it hits the bottom upwards slightly to make it hit the bottom hard this seems to drive bass (large n small mouth) crazy (walleye as well but mid summer in shallower water) and normally when I will get a bite on the 2-3rd time I bounce it off the bottom.NORMAL use for me is off MH lews speed combo or mach II combo. If I can find one.Ĭomments: Great lure! I've caught amazing quality of fish with this crank bait! Everything from bass,wiper walleye, and my favorite Pike! HERE ARE SOME TIPS!! 1ST off there is a SHALLOW scatter rap so make sure you dont have that one.(it has a smaller lip) depending what you fish for this lure will help attract more fish. I figured the color must have been wrong but it at least got interested. ![]() ![]() I watched about 15 bass of all sizes follow it in on a cast in gin clear water on a pressured lake on a very tough day.
