Nice thing about bass is that it a lure doesn't have to look like anything real for them to eat it. I've caught a lot of bass on buzzbaits, Devil Horse, and Heddon Torpedo's and I have noticed a distinct lack of propellers on the baitfish on my lake.

Dang Riverrat57.....nice!

I had my doubts, until Riverrat placed the evidence in the trophy room!
I saw a large bass swallow a duckling one evening that was in the midst of his siblings and mother.
Hmmm ... wonder if they make a baby duck lure.

Thanks shane. I usually won't even go if Louie can't go with me. He's an awesome fisherman.

I know of 2 really big smallmouth bass in a river that had eaten turtles one a friend of mine caught one several years ago spit up a baby turtle still alive the other caught a big small mouth that ended up was going to expire they were camping decided to eat it when the cleaned it had small turtle and crayfish. If anyone has seen Glen Lau's video www.glenlau.com it show bass agressively attacking turtles protecting a nest. I think this lure will be very effective for 2 reasons . Big bass eat these for an easy to catch high protein source, they can not stand turtles that comes around their nest.

My first thought was, just another novelty lure made more for fishermens $$$ than catching fish. Then I saw riverrats pictures, maybe theyre on to something...

Time to dig out those old Ninja Turtles I had as a kid. I knew they'd be worth something someday. I'll try Donatello first, as my old man always told me to "use any color I want, as long as it's purple..."

Can't wait to see what I can stir up by pulling one of these through the weeds! http://hubpages.com/hub/Bass-fishing-tips-Weed-em-Out

I know I'm going to get some opposition for posting this but honestly the way the lure looks, it doesn't appear much different than our standard topwater frog lures. The only difference I can see is that this lure has two more paddle legs in the front. Now I am in no way saying that this lure won't work because I know that bass especially big largemouth will eat anything that they can fit down their throats. Although even with this in mind I personally have seen turtles of a smaller size swim and I'd say about 90% of what I've seen have been underwater so I'm curious as to how this lure swims because this looks like a topwater lure. If this is the case then my question becomes is this just an attempt by lure companies to find an outlet to mimic our frog lures, or is there something more to this lure than what meets the eye?

I regularly find small turtles in the livewell after taking out both largemouths and spotted bass for weigh-ins. I've actually had a friend that makes custom lures make me some hard ones before; and caught bass on them. I just hate that my secret is out now! Another lures that will become useless soon as the fish will become accustomed to seeing it in the waters here in southern Alabama. DON"T BUY OR USE IT! FISH DON'T EAT TURTLES! - LOL!

Most of the bites will occur on the drop with this lure, although it creates quite a buzz on top.

ive never seen bass eat turtles and if theyd work idk bout that cause there are tons of baby turtles on the lakes around here i have heard of them eattin baby ducks so maybe thatd be a bait for someone to make

never seen a bass take a turtle before, but while i was fishing in Louisiana i saw plenty of baby turtles about 3" long. this is probably something that'll get to be real handy to have for big bass down south in my opinion.
