I was walking around Cabela's the other day and noticed the live target lures. They are beautiful for sure, some of the most life-like in appearance and action i've seen. But I was wondering are they worth the money? Especially when a lot of our major water bodies are so murky. If anyone has had equal or better results with LiveTarget to say Rapala, Storm or any other hard bait brands that would greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

I love their lipless rattle baits . Other companies make similar products but its up to you if you wana spend the $$ . I would rather fish in stained water any day .

No. There are many other Lures on the market that are more effective for half the price. Yes the look pretty and the concept is interesting, I have tried them and found them to be no more effective then other lures. I much more prefer LUCKY CRAFT lures to any other company There cross blade is been one of my most producing lures. Also you can never go wrong with MEPPS lures tried, tested and always effective.

x2 on Mepps, if I was fishing a tournament I'd go mepps #2 or #3 over a LiveTarget in any conditions, for any species.

If you're talking about the multi-jointed live series. Yes they will catch fish. Would i spend $$? No. I had 2 packs as gift last year and I caught Pike on the perch imitation. Just to try it but for the price my friend bought it, Id rather have it as a tackle box bling. They are good for bass & pike.

I'm cheap and can't swim very well, and for those two reason, i would rather not have to baby my lures when fishing and don't want to go for a swim after it when it gets snagged.

Thanks guys, I was thinking much of the same, I had been wondering about them for awhile, had bought a few a year ago, but forgot about it until walking through Cabela's. 0 luck on the baits. My papa and sis were fishing last summer on a pier, myself and my papa were throwing beautiful crank baits and swim baits, Rapala, Cotton, my first live target and a couple of storm baits, 0 fish, sister throwing a 4" yellow 1/4 ounce jig, two foot pike. At the end of the day, it all boils down to what the fish are after I guess. Thanks again for the input guys.

I have seen the perch catch a lot of fish, and a few friends swear by them. First cast with a baitball series and I caught 2 smallmouth on the same lure. That being said the only live targets I own I got for free.

The only thing I can swear by that works really good for pike is the daiwa SP minnow. If there's pike...better hold tight.

my experience with live target lures is limited. I did try the frog against a black spro frog,for bass, i caught more fish on the spro frog, the fish i did manage to catch on the live target frog completely inhaled it,, to the point it was difficult to get it out of the fishes mouth.
spro caught more fish, and they didnt seem to want to swallow it as deep as the live target.
