MAH 438 Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 I'm a big fan of Daiwa Bait Junkie soft plastics and prefer them to Zman. They are very soft and flexible which seems to give them a great action in the water. I recently bought some Daiwa Bait Junkie Risky Critters for when the weather and water warms up. I'm going to give them a try on whatever is swimming around the flats, keen to see if YFW will hit them. Only problem with these soft plastics is the price at $11.95 for a pack of 6. Not a huge cost, but I did stumble across a similar styled creature bait on Aliexpress, pack of 8 for $6.23. They are made from the super stretch material and come in a range of colours. The brand is LSP or Lure Supreme Paradise. I haven't fished either lure yet, but thought I would throw up a few side by side shots. The Bait Junkie looks like it will waft and flutter about a bit more, but no idea how this translate to bites. Softy, Des and yellow door 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Des 818 Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 The material is really good. I have taken KG at the weedline with the Bait Junkie critters. But no YFW. Probably as I have not flicked them out in prime YFW territory. There are a few Clicker like presentations. This Aussie company make a good one. Their "Salt Water Yabbie" Their material is stiffer, but then Clicker bodies are fairly stiff. They have worked well. https://www.lowtidelures.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin 2,200 Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 The storm twitching nipper looks like a good imitation but I've thrown it a few times as well for yellowfin and haven't got a bite Des and yellow door 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
