    Hey guys i just wanted to share these 2 great sites I have stumbled upon in the last 2 years.


    The first one is www.TheMangler.com


    In the past 2 months i have tested some of there lures. My favorites are the squidys in any color or shape. Another one of my favorites are the 3 inch crank baits. These are my go to baits when i bass fish. I was blown away by the quality and the price. The site owner is a great guy and will even give you free lures for sending in pictures of fish caught on one of his baits. There are many pics of all kinds of fish caught on his baits and i can confirm that these in fact get the job done!


    The second one is www.jettackleonline.com

    Now over a year ago i was skeptical when i orderd from them, but when they came to my house i was so happy to find out they weren't junk. These lures where my star bait on my fishing trip. I caught many huge largemouths on the lures i bought. Jettackle updates there lure list and gets rid of some all the time but they still are at a very low price. you can also purchase them at a wholesale price.


    Out of all the fishing sites I have seen these are the two that i see offer the lowest prices for such quality tackle.

    Let me know what you think and if you would like i can share some pictures of some fish i caught on my vacation last week using mangler lures.

    Thanks for the tip Ktuck! I checked out those sites and they certainly are cheap enough. This makes me wonder though...how well are these lures really made? You know, like the hooks and hardware, that's usually where discount lures suffer. I have been known to buy discount baits and put good hooks on them. Is this what you did, or did you have success with them "as is"?

    Actually i was very surprised at the hooks. even from both of the sites the hooks where sturdy and super sharp. They might need a changing earlier then most lures but i haven't changed any yet and have caught almost all my fish i have hooked.

    The only little problem i have is that some of jet tackle's lures the paint inst that good. Well if your just going to bass or a fish without teeth it shouldn't be a problem but when i was in Florida i caught a alligator gar on one and it destroyed the paint. But Ive have caught many bass on the same lure and never have had a problem with it. The manglers lures are really well built and the paint is sturdy and doesn't even chip when a snake head bites it.

    I think you would be surprised by the quality.

    Sounds good! I wouldn't worry about that finish much though...a gar will ruin ANY lure like that. I know, I've hooked a few on lures too!

    Yeah I have only had 2 on lures and one was on my rapala x-rap and it didn't even scratch it but i think that's because it has a clear plastic coating, although it broke a treble hook XD
