Well take a look into it if you have free time. I thought the same thinking it would be more expensive and have also been waiting for bayrats. So last season I teamed up with Zach Baker and experimented with some blanks and have been having alot of success for less than half the cost of a factory bait.
Your welcome! load the box up for cheap have fun with it make your own patterns designs just be sure to keep plenty of "Tricky Ricky's " on the ready LOL
There is many blanks to be had online 3" to 5" (they all work very well)shapes and sizes shallow deep suspending etc... the closest I've found to a bayrat S3 was from Dynamic Lures. Step #2 contact Zach Baker to do his magic with the painting. Affordable fun project to create your own colors/patterns. Hope this helps put a few more Browns and Spring Kings in the boatπΊπ²

Looks like a sweet rig! Versatility of the small boats are great. I've been to Thousand Islands, Erie,Ontario,Canadaguia,Conesus and entering my 1st Musky Tourney this weekend at Waneta with my 196 fishmaster. Again boat looks awesome looking forward to more in depth rigging and fishing videos πΊπ²
After 2 yrs of trolling around Conesus we finally landed our 1st Tiger on Saturday am. On the north end 30 fow 120' behind the OR 12 board with a black chrome deep bandit. Mixed in some nice small mouth and pike. Was a good day on the small pondπΊπ²
We have had multiple split rings and Hook failures this season it's a shame! $10 for a spoon and junk terminal ends. Upgrading split rings and hooks this weeks project
Appreciate the kind words π yesterday evening was great boys were exhausted. I would have liked to fish the tournaments this year but work family life more important. It's been a great season enjoying with Friends and Family πΊπ²
