I saw the Trigger X soft plastic baits online one day and thought, "That;s kinda neat." Last night I was out at Wal-Mart browsing the fishing section when I spotted the bright-green package. All they had were three different styles in a few colors. First, I grab a 4-pack of flipping tubes in Goby. Then, a 6-pack of minnows in Blue Pearl/Black Flake. I haven't had a chance to use one yet. However, here are a few things that I like and dislike about them so far.

Likes:

 

Individual Packaging: Each one is individually packaged for freshness and each bait stays saturated in attractant. No more dead scents due to an improperly sealed bag.

 

Biodegradable: The baits are biodegradable so there's worry about damage caused by lost soft plastics.

 

Species Specific: The baits are scented for a specific species of fish. Justpick out your package labeled bass, walleye, or saltwater.

 

Price: At $2.00 a pack (4-pack tubes, 6-pack minnows) it's not a bad deal, in my opinion.

 

Dislikes:

 

Packaging: I would have liked the packaging to be biodegradable as well. I don't intentionally throw trash on the ground or in the water. However, the wind does blow things around. I think it would be a nice touch to add.

 

Limited Color Selection: They don't have but about eight colors of each bait. It would be nice to have a wider selection.

 

 

That's about it, for now. I'll let you know more the next time I go fishing. I'll be taking my camera with me so, I might have some pics to go along with the post.

Good point Ben. Bio de baits without bio de packaging. Shoot Trigger X an email about that. Next year we will see different packaging. Heck, they might even send you a few baits for the idea.

 

I have been looking at these, but cant pull myself to buy yet. Looking forward to seeing how they work.

No luck yet. I used the minnow the other day with no luck. I did as the website suggested and rigged it weightless and used it as a jerk bait. The minnows have nice action. I did get a bite on it but didn't mange to bring it in. That was the only bite that day. Better luck next time.

I've been using the Trigger X  (worms) for awhile now and have pertty good luck with them, The Biodegradeable part is really nice.They do break easily though so I find after 1 maybe 2 fish they have to be replaced

the one thing i found out about them is they dry out real fast but if you put them back in package the are good try the frog they now have a hook just for the frog its weedless and is not that much around 3 dolars for two of them

I saw those on a fishing show I was wondering if anyone has used them yet ?
