A:
Lighter for clearer water and darker for dingy water.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
This is a question that EACH of us anglers have asked, and why the lure industry is so lucrative.The color you want to use is going to depend on 2 things primarily, but other factors come into play as well...
1. The type of water whether it's clear or stained. If a fish can't see it, they won't bite it. A good rule of thumb is to use a bright color for stained, and a less colorful for clear. (Keep it natural.)
2. Try to choose a lure that looks as close to the baitfish in the water as you can. The fish are not going to go for something that looks out of place.

A:
no, or at least ive never seen one where you can buy it unrigged.A:
No not that I am aware of I just wish they would improve the hooks and make them weedless. I would be willing to pay more money for an owner or trokar hook.
Answers
A:
Take it out of the package and tie it on.When taking the lure out of the fish's mouth, use the metal rather than the plastic because it will tear if too much force is used to dislodge from the fish.
A:
comes pre-rigged ready to fish.A:
Yes it come pres rigged no need to buy hooksA:
Theese baits are pre-rigged and ready to go. The only thing you have to do is pull off a piece of clear tubing off the hoook, easier said than done. I wish the tube was shorter, going around the hook causes it to catch the barb when pulling it off.Images for this Answer

it comes pre-rigged with a jig.A:

Tie directly to the Firetiger- no hardware necessary-hook embedded-works best with a braided line-suggest power proA:

They come pre-rigged and work great!Details:
are these baits good for trout and redfish on the shallow inshore flats in florida. if so what size and color work best Anyone who has gotten good results please respond.....Answers
A:
3" white with a green tail or the "firetiger"are completely sold out in this area. There are no flats around here but the baits catch anywhere from two feet along the banks to six and eight feet in the bay. Good luck and happy fishing.
A:
pre riggedA:
Absolutely. Catch them all the time. I like to use a 3" and the 4" size. If fish are busting bait, then I use the 4" to minimize catching rat reds and small trout. I've caught slot reds and speckled trout and even gator trout with both sizes. White, Black and white, and gold and chartreuse are my three favorite color combinations. Speckled trout and redfish like swimming irratic retreive. Founder like slow, slow, slow on the bottom retreive.A:
I shore fish saltwater most of the time. Redfish I don't know, but for Ling cod, Rock cod and greenling they're my go-to bait... 6" for fish over 24", 4" for anything with a mouth, good in shad & baby bass.A:
Great for Trout & Redfish under a rattle popping cork. Firetiger (is only color) 3" swim shadA:
I think Florida is similar to fishn in Hawaii...These lures are great here..the Jack family LOVES this lure...so does the Snapper..Answers
A:
I have tryed every size and almost every color in every size i really trust these baits i have won 2 tornaments with the 5in. firetiger and wouldn't dare quit using it. Every color has caught fish and every size but you need to find the color and size the fish like in your area hope this helps.A:
I have had good luck with it in the summer and on rocky drops, big fish bait. A little tough on the weed lines due to open hook.

going striped bass fishing in alabama july just wondering if this is a good lure these fish.I use this type on smallmouth and large mouthin a small river near my house in NC.Ijust like the way this lure works.....thanksAnswers

A:
it would be great for striped bass.A:
Just the other day I went and trolled a nearby lake and used this bait and was catching 3lb stripers on average.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
I don't see why not, if smallies and largemouth bass go for it, the stripers should too I would think.A:
Worked for us at Lake Waurika, OK for Hybrid White/Striped bass. We used the Chartruese color.A:
Works great for almost any fish adjustsize to fit. Use largest for stripers.

Striped bass love them ...dont leave home without them..!!Images for this Answer

A:
They use the larger ones 4"&5" in Lake Hartwell to catch strippers. I would match the color to water clarity, as Hartwell is a clear water lake, and the ligther colors work better.Answers
A:
Positivily not-this is a good durable lure. by the way if I loose a lure on a 3 or 4 pounder bye bye I'll not hesitate to replace it-however that won't happen, it is durable
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Only if a monster bass hits it, but I'm sure you wouldn't care if it shredded your lure if you land one like that... lolHere in Michigan, I had a pike nail one that looked like a perch, and he ripped the tail off, and chipped the glass head, so I couldn't even put a new tail on it, but he was a nice big one and a fighter. I didn't mind sacrificing it to get him.
A:
I have used these baits multiple times on walleyes to 30" and have never had a hook pull outA:
Nope. Only damage my lures occured while fishing for Hybrid Bass was that the tail was bitten off of one. Otherwise, the 3" baits handled 3-4 lb fish with no issues.A:
I have bounced this lure off jetties, rockssand bottoms and weed beds. They
wear out like every other lure.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
it does look like it would but i havn't had any problems with it yet (havn't used it but a few times so i really can't say)A:
Not at all.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I have found they are good for 5-6 fish, but a cat will tear them up quickly. I bought them on sell, and they are cheaper than minnows.A:
I haven't had many problems with the hook tearing out of the bait. On occasion it happens but that's true with any soft plastic baits. Don't let it stop you from trying them. Get a bag and tie one on.
Top 100 Contributor
A:
I was concerned about that also, but I had no problem with the 3 in. 1/4 oz. size even with a 4 lb. Bass. Biggest problem was hooking fish well enough to land them. Hook exposed above bait too small as is barb.I would not buy this lure again unless Berkley makes improvements.
A:
NoAnswers
A:
I bought the 1/4 oz and I am happy with their bank performance. If its a lake or pond with lot of brush underwater, make sure to reel fast. 1/8 oz would be good as well off a dock.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Hey Nick,there are several factors to consider when you choose a wieght.
Are you going to use a bobber? If so, use a small split shot about the size of a baby pea. If you are dragging it off the bottom, you might consider a bullet type sinker about 1/16th oz. There are some sources online that will show you how to rig them too. Look up Texas rigging, Carolina rigging, there are plenty of info on how to do these rigs with diagrams and illistrations too. Good luck to you.
A:
I would have to say for fishing inland lakes your best all around size is 3" and 4". I use these for walleyes in north dakota and MN to 30" and largemouth bass to 6lbs.A:
Depends what you are fishing for and the current your exposed to. Sometimes I add weight to the line.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
if the water isn't very deep than go for something lighter (i would go with heavier ones in a lake)A:
The 7/16 ounce baits work very well for shore/dock fishing, they have a nice size to them and cast very well, you cant go wrong with these things!
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I mainly fish ponds and the 2" works well for crappie, and the 3" for bass, but I did catch a 3lb.2oz crappie on a 4" this spring.A:
2" Or 3"
A:
You always want to use the lightest weight you can get away with. Some times wind or current conditions require more weight but go as light as you can.
Top 100 Contributor
A:
I used the 3 in. 1/4 oz. size in "Bunker" for bank fishing, but would not buy again. Too easy to lose fish because hook size not large enough. See writeup by Jig4Bass for more details.
