Which of you guys use these and how do they differ from Jakes & Grandmas?

I just saw that Mike Gregg (mrgmuskies.com) is carrying these blanks and I don't know much about them.

The Big Game Twitch Baits are simply awesome, and I can get fish moving on them when nothing else will. Certainly Jakes and Grandmas are good twitch baits as well, but the Big Game's have more action out of the box. Furthermore, I custom weight them to get even more side to side action. Send me a private message if you would like to know how to do that.

I just picked one up from R&H and love it! Awesome action. I went with the 5" for this sring but will be looking to expand my arsenal to include the 7" & 9"'s.

The one I have seems to dart a bit more wildly then the Jake or Grandma. Granted I've only thrown the small one so far.

they are like Crane Baits but tougher
With better paint jobs, hooks, split rings.

I've been fishing them for a few years. Both the topwater (thicker body) style, and the regular style. Awesome twitch baits. They have a squared off lip vs. a rounded lip like on Slammer's or Jakes, that gives them a little tighter action, just the nature of a square lip vs round...

Pastika's in Hayward has them, I think Rollies, and Crazy D's.

Using the Big Game baits for the 3rd season. Great baits especially if you're a Crane fan. Twitch just as well, but way better construction. Beefer bait overall, better hooks and split rings! If you've been using Cranes, I suggest you try a Big Game, you'll be pleasently surprized, especially after the release and your bait doesn't look like swiss cheese!!

Personal favorites are the smaller Big Game's for spring twitching!!
