Rago Real Trout
When I first saw these baits I was supper pumped. I bought six of these baits. Slow fall and fast fall in both colors available. When I received my baits I noticed the fins and tails were bent. I tried to fix a couple of the baits by dipping the tails in hot water. I have done this with similar baits and have been able to fix the problem. The problem with the Rago's was upon handling them the paint rubbed off. I was not able to fix the tails or fins.

I did take the baits to the lake to see how they would swim. Every single one of them rolled up on their side. Not one of them swam straight.
The tails on four of them would not kick at all. Also, the first one I casted the eyes fell out first cast.

I would like to give Props. to the shop I purchased the baits from, Tackle Warehouse. They let me return the baits and apologized for the problems. Very nice people, great customer service.

Very dissapointing. Bait looks awesome. I own other Rago baits and they fish great. I thought that maybe I just got ahold of a bad batch but just recently a shop in my area started selling the Real Trout. Upon inspection these baits all have bent tails and fins also.

I would suggest you avoid this bait, buy a Huddleston.

I was really looking forward to this bait when I first heard about it. The first time I saw it in a package, I was a little dissapointed in the way it's jammed in and all the fins as well as the tail are bent. Huds usually look perfectly straight in the package. The third cast I ever made with this bait I caught one that was like 6 pounds...I was really excited until I opened the fishes mouth to to find the white part under the belly used to weight the bait had snapped off. Fortuneately the tackle shop I bought it from replaced it for free and I have had the new one for months without a problem.

The open mouth is cool, but it seems like it's what makes the bait not swim straight at high speeds, but I do like it because you can fill that mouth with megastrike!

Honestly the bait looks great, in fact maybe the best in terms of realism of another swimbaits. But from there,the bait rolls, runs on its side on fast and slow retrieves,my batch did not even sit on the bottom upright,and not to mention the paint rubs off.....tuff
