| This lure looked so interesting I decided to give a Midnight Tyrant for a Christmas gift.
Perhaps this may be a little late, but is this lure worth buying?
Anyone have good luck using the Tyrant?
Thanks,

| Definetly a good bait, I have had a lot of luck on it this fall. The bait is extremely versatile it can be worked form the surface down to as deep as you want. I find that you can use it as a glidebait, like a bulldawg, and even kind of like a tube/ jimmy(very slow lazy movements). Also midnight has been one of our better colors. Overall its a great bait and I am sure the gift reciever will not be disappointed. |

Location: Eagle River, WI | I used the tyrant this fall and I was pretty happy with it. It's one of those baits that you get out of it what you put into it. If you know what I mean. You can use it kinda like a glider or a jimmy or even a bulldawg. The only thing I would have to say bad about it is IMO I think that the hooks are a little small. But, I switch hooks alot on new baits. I like to have alot of steel hanging for the fish to get their lips around. I wouldn't be mad if you gave me one for christmas.:) |

| As far as the hooks go I really haven't had a problem with them most of the fish this fall either divoured it head first or t- boned it there were no real short bites. |

Went back to smaller hooks and was then able to retrieve again. Had a suicide ski leap out of the water, tail clearing the surface rolled mid-air to come down head first and clobbered the bait full in the mouth while i was gliding it along the surface....very cool. |

Location: Eagle River, WI | brewcrew, I guess I should have clarified a little. I always run larger hooks on the front of any glider type lure I use. It's just a matter of personal preference. The hooks that come with it are fine and I caught fish with the stock hooks. I just feel better when I got a little bit larger hook hanging on the front. Just the way I do it. |
