Cool looking bait, maybe Digitaka will get them back in stock. The White Bass should eat them like candy!!

Many think the only lure I ever fish is the Trout Magnet.....and that is true 95 percent of the time. But I constantly try new micro baits. Most do not make the grade for me and thus they are resting on my shelves in the garage. I have tried quite a few micro plastics out of Japan.....but other than the Ring Kick Tail none have impressed me and I can’t recommend them. Fishing the Trout Magnet deep can take a lot of patience. A while back I ordered some Magbite McFly vibration baits out of Japan. Just this past week I was able to test them out....and today also. It is no surprise to me smallmouth and KY bass love these things. I am sure white bass will knock the fire out of them also. But my real question was “Will bluegill.....shellcracker like this bait”. The answer is an unequivocal yes! I fished Saturday with a nephew of mine....he is not a fan of bluegill. When I take someone fishing in my boat I want them to enjoy themselves. So I only spent about 5 minutes jigging this bait in a lay down in 25 feet of water. The bluegill killed it. We moved on and caught a ton of cookie cutter KY bass and I had a very nice smallmouth. The bait has a tight wobble and it does not take much to get it going. You can troll with it also at about 1 MPH it is vibrating.....as you might expect it is great at vertical jigging....and can also be used as cast and retrieve. I have fished blade baits in the past but since going UL it is rare for me to fish them. Plus they have treble hooks and I am not a fan of treble hooks. But the biggest issue with blade baits in the USA for me is the size. I fished this using the Finezza Prototype 6’ 10” UL using the Sunline BMS FC line in 3# test. I can’t recall the last time I’ve been this excited about a lure. Now I want all to know I’m not trying to push this bait. I’m just relaying my experience with it. They have one drawback....they are expensive. I initially ordered 6 off of eBay. Those cost 10 bucks a pop. Digitaka stocks them but they are out of stock. Last night I found some on Rakuten. The good thing was they were around 5 bucks each.....I ordered 21 of them....all the shop had. Center Hill can be a great bluegill lake. But it is very deep and depending on time of year the bluegill go deep. This bait will allow me to fish deep for bluegill in a manner I prefer. Typically in winter I will drift or drop shot a Trout Magnet tipped with a meal worm below the dam at Nickajack. I am pretty sure the Magbite will take the place of me using that technique. For me this lure is a keeper.....can’t say that with a lot of lures I’ve tried.

Nice looking bait. I don't like to use them much, but metal bodies do work on bream. I used to catch a lot of bluegill in 20 - 30 feet of water jigging a 1/8 oz. Kastmaster spoon and I can only imaging that with it's flat profile that Magbite McFly would be even better. Thank you for showing it to us.
Good looking bait
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
Very nice looking bait Randy and the video looked like y’all had fun fishing it too.

I’ve caught crappie casting them. I am betting for vertical jigging crappie will kill it. I hope to try that theory out this week. I have a spot that I’m pretty sure crappie will be at and I’m going to vertical jig on them.
