@@Shurmash you are correct that the durability issues are by design. However, not in the way you're suggesting. Ask any pro tournament angler and every one of them prefer a "softer" soft plastic. Not only does a softer plastic create a more realistic motion, but a bass is going to hold onto it longer. I am fine replacing a soft plastic after every single fish as long as I'm catching more fish. Every fish caught is worth it. I just won a tournament on Googan Slim Shake worms... I went through 3 packs of them. Totally worth it. 😁

And I love all the Googan baits with one exception. Hate the rattlin’ Ned. I feel like a Ned bait needs 2 things. Buoyancy and durability. That rattlin’ Ned lacks both. The rattle is cool, but needs the other 2 characteristics for me to choose it over Sukoshi Bug or Z-Man.

I caught a ton of fish this summer using the green pumpkin/watermelon red flake Krackin craw & the brown gill colored drag-n-drop. Honestly, I caught fish on just about everyone of them I pulled out the pack. Texas rigging the craw on a 3/0-4-0 screw lock hook & Texas rigging the drag-n-drop on about a 2/0-3/0 EWG hook weightless. People make claims of this & that about the baits & the squad or whatever, hell there’s some Googans that I think are terds too, but the bottom line is they catch fish & they caught fish for me when nobody else was catching fish. I haven’t used any of their hard baits but I can attest to their soft plastics.

Honestly don't know why there is alot of hate towards googan baits. They are really good baits IMO but with a good product people are always going to hate. You either have a soft plastic that is stiff with minimal action but can catch more fish per plastic or you have a bait with lots of action but can only catch 1 2 or 3 fish per bait. And googan is a mix of both, good action and pretty durable. Personally for me they catch alot of fish and I just about only use googan.

It’s not that they’re necessarily bad, they just don’t work any better than $3 lures from Walmart

I know they're soft and they break but my bite ratio is 3 to 1 compared to anything else I'd use My soft plastic Arsenal I am basically using 3 different companies Roboworm Googan Biats and Keitech.

Honestly I cannot stand the smell of googan baits long enough to really use them. With that being said, I’ve bought the KVD speed bags thinking I’d be able to organize my softbaits, and I was only able to fit about 22 Gary Yamamoto Senko bags in the speed bag that is said to be able to fit 40.

I don't care if a soft bait is trashed after one or two good fish (honestly should be about 5 or so but still). I've only used the bandito bug but the problems with it, in my experience, are as follows. They don't hold hooks for shit. A fresh rig on a Palomar knot with a nose bullet and a good hook and the hook just wants to fall out no matter how i go through the nose or where in the belly i push it in. I have reeled them in multiple times without getting snagged and the hook is sitting outside the bait. I feel like they should have some sort of firmer core where the hook tip can nestle in so it dosen't constantly slip out just from being cast. They also tear out extremely easily. I used one today in Texas (it's been stupid windy) and after just three cast and pulling it through some camboba grass the bait was sitting on the hook tip like a landed fish. The nose was completely torn open and basically unusable after that. I like the guys for the most part and was excited to try them out but I've gone through about 8 of them without catching fish (not the baits fault) and they are pretty much done just from basic casting and retrieving. On the first one i ever opened i pulled one of the legs off just from lightly pulling it to separate the flashing from the main body. It was disappointing to say the least. Zooms are cheaper, they last longer, they hold a hook well and they don't just tear off from the nose from being cast into the wind. I may try some other models as i primarily use worms on a Texas rig but if they are as flimsy as the bugs my hopes aren't set high.

From my experience the Senko holds o-rings better. The Googan rips apart with o-rings.

The way I look at it is that those baits are designed by people who actually enjoy bass fishing, and have an extensive library of footage proving that they themselves catch fish. I mean, even if you don't dig the squad's personality, you at least have bass fishing in common. Their baits are fine, I'm just a diehard elaztech guy.

Join Karl's...Googan baits are no more expensive than any other company. Love their soft plastics... the scent and the salt content rock. The Clickbait is sweet. The new Contender segmented swims are VERY practically priced, and have features no other swimbait in the same price point have. Crankbaits and jerkbaits... not a huge fan.

I fish whatever is on sale I still catch fish on everything you just mentioned. How many times Bass didn't want a senko .I put on a bio-spawn exostick that's what the bass ate all day. If you guys and gals listen to Jim he is always the voice of reason.Thanks brother ☮😎

I think the hate is just from people not liking the Googans. I am not crazy about them them as well but they make a good product. The Strike King Shimmy Stick from Walmart is 3.00 per pack but price stickbait that has good salt content. I won’t fish a Yum Dinger without a weight they don’t sink fast enough but when I Texas rig I use the Yum Dinger.

Totally with you man. I think their baits get more hate just because of the hate people don't like them. I personally don't like their videos, as people they're not bad. Their baits yeah they're not durable, but I tell ya if I toss out a bag of baits and I catch 10 fish a bag I'm totally happy.

And of course they are out of the large speed bags....but definitely gonna grab some bro, as far as the googan baits. I don't have any complaints. They worked well for me since I got to Kentucky. I followed all of them since before googan so I don't mind supporting the Brand and being Active duty Army I definitely want to support my Veteran Brothers Lojo and Rob

Yum Dinger is the deal for stick baits as far as price goes. Using o-rings (or whacky saddle) gives you a chance to get more fish on one bait.
