Finally got a chance to test the latest two jointed swimbaits but unfortunately the wind and rain really chilled the water. No kaku were seen, only lizardfish and baby white papio followed and nipped at the lures.

The little 3.5″ Vudu Mullet, weighing in at 0.4oz with the VMC treble hook, is a little lighter than the lures I throw but casted plenny far enough to be bit if there were predators around. It’s a slow sinker and yet the single treble hook didn’t snag any limu because the water level was a couple feet deep.

The Little Jack Gorgon, at 5 inches and just over half an ounce, cast well for a hard bodied jointed lure and was easy to fish because it floated in a natural position, and dipped when initially yanked.

Both look way more like a live fish than any 1-piece swimming lure. You be the judge.

Can’t wait for the bait to bring the inshore fish back into the shallows so I can really give these a good shakedown. We do have a few for sale but have been waiting to see how they hold up to decent sized fish.
