Chubby darters

[aquaman]

Watched there promo and was impressed by the falling action of this bait. I can see it should work on eyes but even the smallest one seemed too big for perch. The showed them catching jumbos on em but how about med. perch? seems too big. Any input?

[scavengerj]

The #3 size I think, the newest size, will catch those med. sized gills and perch.

I caught about a 7 1/2" gill on my first day out, last time I caught about a 10" perch. I also lost about a 16" walleye at the hole about 2 minutes earlier, he didn't even show up on the MarCum and came flyin in and pounded it. I've had pretty good luck on crappies with them as well.

If Medium sized gills and 10" perch can eat em maybe the size 3 is smaller than it looked in their promo.Like i said the action on the fall looks deadly and might try em soon as i find em.    Thaks Guys

i started this same thread like 3 days a go... ton of cool stuff on it u should check it out just scroll threw the pages. a guy put up pictures of all his fish and stuff. just an fyi

[A- bomb]

i wen't out and bought some and watched 'em under the aqua vue pointed down and that video doesnt do it justice. Can't find any #3's but jigged a hot perch #4. missed 2 but man are they sexy on the fall. 

[purduebass]

I have been looking for the #3's also.  Still haven't found any at the local shops.  I will be buying some when I find them though.

[fishinjim]

Bought a few of the #3's from sportsmans warehouse.

[Chainsaw]

I've got 13 of 'em comin' from Salmo. They were $124.45 for mostly #3s and a few large ones. The Biggest one they want $25. for and I can't quite justify that, yet. I want to see how well they work on the fish I got 'em for.

It seems rather an exagerated price but if they work what the hay. If I don't have to carry a bait bucket around they may be worth it. We'll see.

idk i just cant see paying 25 bucks for something that u have to use on light line. theres no gurantee that its gunna stay on the line

Yea...I wouldn't mind picking up a few to try, but that price is pretty salty. Especially if there's a possibility they will get "chomped off" by some toothy critter    ...WK

[rchaze60]

I picked up few to try this yeargot em on sale at Fleet Farm here in Minnesota so I will post on how they do here cant wait to try them

[nyiceman23]

I was hitting the perch with minnows pretty good and I decided I would use the chubby darter so I would not have to rebait as often.   Well I didn't have it down the hole more than 10 seconds and BAM I was getting pulled under. 
I knew by hit it was a pike or a walleye, but what I didn't hear was my drag going out.  My drag was not set and I struggled to adjust and release the bail but within 10 seconds I was snapped off.  I was not upset about loosing  a $7  lure, but the wonder of what took it.  I have heard about the 10+lb fish caught on 4lb line but I have yet to experience it.
I still had money on my Gander card and so I reluctantly bought another one.  So we will see.....

It is the 5.5 inch model, meant for larger fish...dont have to use light line, works excellent for pike 

[zamboni]

Scheels here had them for $5.99 each on sale about a month ago

[GAMBELL]

I purchased some Chubby Darters 2 weeks ago.  First trip out with them, one bass, one walleye and one perch in the first 15 minutes.  I'm hooked.  I will be buying more. 

[snot rocket]
