| You are right about Reaction strike making them. Last year I was told they were going to stop making baits though. I believe thats why Dorn had Homewreckers for 10 bucks last fall.

| It looks like a pretty good bait. Halfway between the 8 and 10 inch weagle. From the looks of the video it has pretty good action also. |

| Another cheap China knockoff on clearance everywhere. It is the original copy of the Weagle when Cady and I made them. If you must, change the hooks and rings at least. I know what it cost to make a Weagle, these things must be like 50 cents.Hahahaha.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I won a Homewrecker at our League banquet last fall, and can't get it to work at all. It simply pulls pretty much straight no matter what I do. Any tricks for a Homewrecker that doesn't zig? |

Location: Grand Rapids MN | Mine would nose dive but zig-zag a little at the end of the cast but about 30-40' from the boat it wouldn't do anything. I contacted RS and sent my back for a replacement which they did so I'll have to give the new one a shot this summer. Can't say anything bad since they took care of me but my first experience didn't pan out either. |

| Looks like once again Mark Llewjeski can boat a bunch of fish on the Homewrecker as he did in Badfish III with no problems but once again he could catch fish in a sink full of dishes. |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | I have 4 HomeWreakers that I got last year, put new rings and hooks on and they work great, moves alot of water, comes in 18 different colors, can't beat the price that I paid for them. Knockoff or not it works for me.

| They are really a great bait. I have yet to find a walk the dawg topwater with as much swing as they have. For ten dollars you cant beat it. |

| That weird, because I have probabally 10 of them and I would say 7 out of the 10 don't even come close to working.
So yeah, for $10.00 they still such...but I would assume a musky bait that cost $10 bucks will suck.

why do u have so many if they don't work. if a lure doesn't work u don't buy 10 of them for no reason. |

Because you could buy large lots off of ebay for little to nothing. I've seen them go for a couple of bucks each.

Why cheap out when your fishing. Life is too short!!!
Why throw cheap junk when you can use quality for just a bit more? |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | I got a Homewrecker for cheap this past winter. Some of our waters opened up before the season closed, so I thought I'd give it a try. The 'wrecker seemed to work fine. Pushed a lot of water, had a nice "swoosh", and zigged and zagged very well. |

| I paid $30 for a Wabull with shipping which is basically built the exact same way as a Weagle. Within a couple weeks the entire epoxy topcoat and paint job cracked and pealed off. I paid $10 for a Homewrecker that worked right out of the box and has lasted through 3 years of abuse.
So it may have been a cheap china knockoff, but it's durability has outlasted the original. |

| Did you call Baldy about it? Cause mine hasn't even come close to chipping and cracking, and I have used mine from summer through fall of last year. Im sure others would agree with me that this was most likely a fluke. If I were you I would definitely call about it. |

Location: Hayward, WI | Guest, talk to Baldy about the bait. I won't knock the Homewrecker because I've never used one, but I think you'll find that poor quality is the exception rather than the rule with Mojo products.
Like everything, no matter how high the quality of a product is, something goes wrong now and then.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Of course he didn't. He'd rather complain anonymously on an internet message board (and expect everyone to believe him) than have Baldy replace the lure post haste...which he would. I have at least a dozen Wabulls, and the finish on all has been fine. I have a Homewrecker that won't run, and the advice was to return it, which I will, and get one that does! |

| i think there was a chipping problem on the very first batch of weagel and wabull(mojo)
just do a search on the forum you will see.

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | STEVE send your HomeWrecker back to Reaction Strike ask for RICK QUADE 100% Guarantee, replacement of a bad bait. It is funny the org. post ask about the REACTION STRIKE HOME WRECKER, not about a Weagle. The avg joe can buy 2-3 Home Wreckers for the same price as one Weagle. Mark Llewjeski of Bad Fish has a video and anybody can see the Home Wrecker zig and zag and nail some BIG muskies on his video. I wish guys would not put down a bait that they have not used, to pimp another one.

Location: Tinley Park. Fish Cen IL. Bass & Vilas Cty.Muskie | I am total mixed up on your last post Sworrall ? ? You complain about the Homewreck but you don't return it. Yet you dish someone who did the same with the Wabull and didn't return it ? ? The buddy system is a great Marketing tool on the Internet. How else do you explain it ? |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Sorry you're confused. I asked if there were any tips for making a Homewrecker work that seemed to pull pretty much straight. I got one late last Fall at our League banquet that I had trouble getting to zig/zag. If you read my post again you'll see I wasn't 'complaining', I was asking for clarification on how those things work. I did so signed in, under my name. Then, when it was explained others had Homewreckers that did the same as mine, that if it did that it needed to be replaced and suggested I send it in for a replacement, I said I would do just that. Pretty simple, and not a 'dish' (whatever that is) on anyone or anything.
The anonymous (and therefore lacking credibility in any complaint) guy with the Wabull said he got his and the finish came off. From his post, it seems he's had it awhile.
The finish coming off is alot different than a bait not 'working' as one expects and is hardly 'the same problem'...there may be a trick to working the lure or balancing it...everyone says they replaced the hooks a split rings on the Homewrecker, I thought maybe that helps.
There isn't any trick for a lure losing it's finish. Now if the finish had come off that Homewrecker, it would have already been returned.
