PB Rat Swimbait

PB Rat Swimbait. What the hollow body frog is to fishermen who prefer conventional sized bait and tackle, the waking rat bait is to those anglers who make throwing big, oversized baits their purview. It is an obsession not easily overcome and haunts your every waking dream like an infestation of your subconscious realm. We were first introduced to the bait back in 2009 at the annual gathering for big bait enthusiasts, Bass-A-Thon in Southern California. At that time the original PB Rat was a hand carved, wooden bait made of three pieces and retailed for $100 a bait. While those wooden baits are no longer in production the PB, like a cunning rat, is still around. In fact, it just happened to have re-merged this past summer and in a big way. The bait is now available in a two and three piece version and is made from a more durable, consistent, and all together sinister resin. The two piece measures five and a half inches (without tail) and weighs 2.4 ounces (including tail). While the three piece is slightly larger at seven inches without the tail and 2.9 ounces including the tail. As far as rats go, the PB actually feels very light and should be manageable with any rod rated up to three or four ounces in lure weight. VERY UNIQUE COLOR AND VERY FEW MADE LIKE THIS ONE.
