Alive lures?

#1 Post by validoc »

just wondering if anyone has tried the "Alive Lures" being sold on ebay. They definitely look the part though I don't know what the action is like, they are the photographic colouring/print with multi-section design to give natural movement hence the "Alive" name.

Most seem to be freshwater orientated in roach/perch type patterns but there are a few minnow types which might be ok for bass etc.

anyone any experience with them? - the prices seem sound at in and around £5

They do look good but i don't think I'd fancy them they just seem like the kind of lure that would snag alot. I'd rather buy a Rapala, Storm, Yo-zuri etc. stick bait. Never had any luck at all with anything with more than one joint. Plus the Fiiish is close enough to that price if you source it right and it's a proven gem!
A bad days fishing is still better then a good day at the office.
