The box actually arrived about 3 weeks back and I just haven't felt like blogging about it until now. Here is a list of the things that was in it.
The Lucky Craft Moonsault: It's supposed to be a lipped bait that performs a lot like a lipless one. I guess I'll see how well that works out. I see they are on sale right now at Cabela's for $6.99 where they retail for $16.99.
The Ima Pinjack: Another 6-8' running crankbait that is supposed to come through weeds fairly well. The trick with this on is to back off rather than ripping the lure when you hit a weed.
Nichols Saber Swim Jig: It's a swim jig with gimmick for locking plastics in place with a toothpick.
Netbait Paca Slim: Sort of similar to a Chigger Craw
Savage Gear Armor Tube Worm: Has a nylon mesh that is supposed to make the bait last a lot longer than your average Senko.
VMC Wacky Weedless Jig: It is what it is. I've never used a wacky jig before.
I believe I should be able to catch fish on 100% of the lures that came in this box this year provided I think to put them on.
I can't say I am blown away by the value in this box do to the Moonsault being a lure I can get new for more than 50% off retail and the fact that they only gave me two of the VMC jigs.
I don't see anything in here being something I would buy for myself with the exception of the wacky jigs. But who knows maybe something will jump out at me and prove itself to me. I'll keep an open mind.
Right now I grade this box out as a C-.
Hopefully I'll be more impressed with the next one.
