nice

i bought some a few months ago in the Keys... they look nice, but never had a fish look twice at it.

Looks something like a Rattle Trap.

But 3x the weight...these suckers are heavy !

I got a couple that Theophile Bourgeois gave me, but I haven't thrown them yet. I think they would be great for redfish on the South Pass jetties at Venice.

or ripping them through birds !!!

I got one as a gift for my Bday. Its 1 1/2 oz!!!!! The SUPER pogie!!!!! Haven't used it yet.......

How do you work this bait? Just curious looks like a bad *** bait.

This is a pogy lure:

Damn thats a big bait. Do you just throw it out and reel it in like a crankbait?

Yep, balsa lure. Floater. Twitch on cold days.
That's how I rolled in my younger days.
I found it in my attic in an old tackle box.
The other one was chewed up, this one was
never used. Someone wanted the chewed up
one to add to their antique lure collection.

This was my other winter lure.
Poe's was a big lure company back then.
Don't know what happened to them, they
kinda died out in the 80's.

The Bomber's are a topwater bait, their pretty heavy but they have good action. I havent thrown them in a while though

Bomber makes a real nice opening night soft plastic lure.
Their soft plastics look nice, but they are way too high
compared to the rest of the soft plastics.

The super pogie's a diving bait. Caught a nice red near east bank on one. Lost it on a reef and went and got another. Looks lik it would be good by the jetties. It's a loud rattler.

I like the Bomber topwater chug, its a good bait for bass and reds!
