POOP BAITS - Underwater Bait Comparison! (The Fastest Growing Category In Bass Fishing!)
Have you heard of a poop bait? Its a real thing and this category is exploding! Poop Baits, Heavy Baits, Gravity Baits... whatever you want to call them, they're here to stay! ICAST was full of drama about these poop baits this year and today we're going to settle it. Forget what you've heard, let's take a look at what these baits are really about!
To our knowledge there are currently 7 versions of heavy baits that offer a midsized bait (3 - 3.5 inches). We've gathered all 7 of them so we can compare their appearance, design, and how they behave underwater. To our amazement, each bait in this category is unique.
Frankly, the "poop category" is an example of how innovation and improvements should take place in our sport. We applaud all 7 of these brands for their unique and innovate ways of entering the category. While all of these baits have taken some level of inspiration from one another, each is unique and offers a different fishing experience to us anglers.
Below you'll find links to all the baits in the order they appeared in the underwater footage. We've included our favorite colors for each, as well as the equipment we use to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
