#271, "Where to buy the big baits"
Tue Dec-04-01 05:15 PM

I get this question about 3 times a week. Where can I buy XXXX big swimbait or trout plug? So I'm trying to put together a page with all of this info, but this is all I have so far. I need your guys' help digging up the info about the lures that I don't have info for below. If you know a shop that has a certain bait, or who makes a certain bait, or whatever, please post a reply to this message so I can compile all of this to add to the big plug article. Thanks.

Sorry about the last posting, but an Osprey customer of ours in South Africa (yes, the Osprey is getting the attention of big bass anglers in other parts of the world too!) just let us know about the big bait forum. As part of Team Osprey, we distribute the Osprey softbait models in the US and overseas. We also sell Rago's Generic Trout, M.S. Slammers, and Z-Plugs. We have also carried the original Osprey woodbait, but it is currently not in production.
We have teamed up with Jerry Rago to sell limited quantities of the Generic Trout and other "secret" baits. The Generic Trout is made in two sizes and is about $100. Is it worth it? The select few who have fished them seem to think so. We have had a waiting list of US Anglers and over the last few months the Generic Trout has caught the interest of big bait anglers in Japan.
The original Osprey Talon soft swimbait has created a resurgence in US and Japan big bait fishing. Thanks to Capt. Greg at our Japanese affiliate company and his Team Big Bait crew, Osprey has been the dominant big fish producer in Japan. Every Japanese fishing magazine and newspaper has chronicled the Osprey phenomenon and it's also been featured many times on both national and local television, as well as video. The astounding success of Osprey lure is due to one simple fact -- the baits catch fish (not only by well known names but by average anglers as well). A testament to the Osprey success is the recent knockoffs and copies of the Talon from China and the US. Team Osprey has many new models to stay ahead of the competition. The new models have been extensively field-tested in Ameria and Japan will be available in the US early 2002.
If anyone would like further information, they can contact us at 562-434-7925 or through our website at www.umaxco.com

There is now a picture of the Generic Trout (Cutthroat) on our webpage. See www.umaxco.com/bigbaits.htm We just got a shipment today (20+) but they are all spoken for. We'll have more after the first of the year.

How heavy are these baits? Everytime I look at one in the store, it never says what the weight is...

The Castaic SoftBait company...Here is the URL
http://www.castaic.com/newsletter.htm
they have online product catalogues and ordering. They make a huge trout bait that is so beautiful it seems almost a shame to fish...They also make sunfish patterns and others...
I do not fish fw bass but I remember when my buddy worked at Turner's outdoorman, this bait was hot after Bob Crupi nailed the big one at Lake Castaic on a big, rainbow pattern swimbait...
Good Luck
-Mike Chung

There is a shop in the Brea/Diamond Bar area called Fisherman's Access that does a fair job on the big stuff. He is predominantly a Saltwater shop but has a lot of freshwater bass equipment as well as Optimum, Castaic, and Basstrix baits in stock. His name is Jack and the number at the store is 714-674-0064.
If you're in the area, this is a store worth checking out. He emphasizes the "High-End" tackle so if you're looking for the good stuff...check him out. He is a great guy and a great fisherman!

Anglers Marine carries most baits and tackle I read already...however, they carry a bait called the Eagle. I got my hands and one this weekend and was very pleased with the results. It is like and new and improved Osprey...
Anglers Marine is in Anaheim or somewhere nearby. I will put a post on the pros and cons of the Eagle.
I have images and I hope I figure out how to post them.
