As much as i love the Pop-X, the One's Bug is just as good if not better. They are slightly fatter and more traditional design. They are just very hard to come by, especially the special colors. I recently got two of the #290 Smash Shad colors and they were killer on the lake. Evergreen got some of the best hooks and the replacements aren't priced bad either at $3.92 for a pack of 5-6. I have about 16 boxes of EG trebles because lately MB is using really low quality hooks :(

I've had major issues with the EG trebles on the Showerblows. I changed em all out for Gammy EWG's and tied up my own feather trailers. I bent and broke every EG treble...

Well they are light wire hooks, but super tacky sharp. We don't have wood and timber in our lakes so there is no need for me to horse fish out.

They are sharp, but they seem to rust quickly. I bent all mine catching fish along rip-rap, they were plowing the bait though :lol: I bent out quite a few Lucky Craft LV trebles this year as well...even snapped one off.

Did you even end up trying out that Lucky Craft lipless with a bladed back? The 50 Spin Blade Bait i believe.

I havent, the LV-100 and LV-500 cover my bases so well I havent had the need to stray. I imagine it would add some good flash. Imakatsu has a new bait coming out thats similar and already have a blade bait that has a blade tail.

Although my collection has thinned out (Needed to fund a reel).. i have kept all my very rare baits and i continue to slowly buy some baits that are very rare still. I was lucky enough to find a friend who knew a guy who knew a guy (seriously) that was in Japan that got me these... a little different from the ones above. Enjoy...
