Sebile Stick Shadd - Cost Effective Alternatives? MAYBE! - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

I heard that next year's Sebile lures are going to be packaged with hardware that is actually usable. I'm sure that will add another couple of bucks to the price.

I use Yo-Zuri and XRap lures and have had a lot of success with them this year and last. Haven't had the chance to use them next to someone with a Sebile to see how our fish catching pairs up though. Thanks for the info, I've been wondering about the Subwalks.

They look nice but the Stick shad I use is 4.5 oz. Not sure if a 2 oz.'er will get the same depth.

25$ really isn't that ungodly considering how much a decent wooden plug is.

30-35 bucks for an injected plastic lure with hardware "YOU NEED TO REPLACE WHEN YOU BUY IT?" Thanks I will pass. The results are undeniable but I always tend to go against the grain and not with it.

That is EXACTLY the reason I won't buy one.

There is no reason a plastic lure needs to cost that much money.

Unfortunately when the economy gets back into swing you will see the cost of Everything go way up.

A lot of the guys that said would never buy . Now they own a few of them. The point is they are sold out almost every week and there is a reason they work.
Larry I have one aside with your name on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every plug builder should buy and swim the magic swimmer . Just to study this lipless wonder. I love the slow sink and it owes me nothing . The stick shad is also a very good plug . The fast sink seems to be made just for the canal . You can get down and when you crank at the end of your drift it comes to the surface .. No getting hung up on the edge or pots . I bought a couple just to check out the hoopla and now own 5 . This reveiw is canal only .. I havn't fished the beach with these plugs but the shallow beaches I fish I'd probably have to retool with all floating or slow sink. I must admit at the canal I fish alot of plastic .. sebille, storms,north bar,cordell, super strike and eyeing rapala.. On the beach I'll take a 2 tubes of needles then fill in the rest .

That does not sound very fishconomic.

But they are silly good at the canal and they have taken fish while others were getting skunk. I know of quite a few fish coming in on them.

Yes, there are some cheaper alternatives but I don't think they are as good. Yet.
