My Favorite Topwater Custom Swimbait - The Illude Rad Rat



Introduction: Illude baits is a custom lure manufacturer that handcrafts lures that are coveted by big bait anglers. Illude's Rad Rat is a hand carved wakebait that is designed to generate explosive strikes day or night. How good is this bait? I must warn you in advance, the second you see, and hear, a Rad Rat being fished you are probably going to want one for your arsenal, and the biggest challenge with this swimbait might just be trying to land one.

After reading your article I need to go out and fish this work of art. I’ll make sure to bring my swim trunks. I’m in San Jose, you around this area as well? Been fishing only BFS for the past year and a half. Bought a nice swimbait combo and went out for a day but the very next day hung that combo up and back to bfs.

Hi Sagisi, Awesome, hope you crush them! That is such a pretty pattern for the Rad Rat! Lendl is the man, his attention to detail and precision, paint, everything is top notch. Yup, born and raised right here in the Bay Area and actually learned how to Bass fish years ago at Anderson, Calero, and Coyote before expanding out the the Delta, Berry, and Clear Lake. Still live and work right here.
