It's one of those things I want just because it looks interesting...

I've caught fish on their jerk bait.

I've got a couple of the one that is similar to sexy Shad color. Caught some decent fish on it. I like the Live Target line of baits.

I wonder how much different these are


http://s.aliexpress.com/qa6ZBjA7

A lot cheaper and they look the same. I doubt LiveTarget has their own factory

I was given some that are like the ones at the aliexpress link above. They were straight from china, came "individually packaged" in a plastic bag and after some research I found they were about 3.00 each including shipping. The hooks that came on them were trash. I immediately replaced with some VMC treble hooks and have caught a few fish with them. They probably won't hold up as well as the LiveTarget, but at that price who cares.

I had one once. On the fourth or fifth cast the bill just snapped off as I cast. Might have just had a flawed one, but they cost enough that it put me off buying another.

Honest opinion: they are a good bait. Live Target is like Livingston Lures. They make a decent product with good action and colors to catch fish but go a little over the top on gimmicks to "catch fishermen". The "bait ball" paint scheme? It's a gimmick just to catch fishermen!

Caught lots of fish with the square bill one and the jerkbait. But the hooks suck. The hooks break easily.
And the square bill bill breaks easily when bounced off of docks, rocks, walls etc. The first time that happend I sent them an email and they sent me two new ones.
The jerk bait is one of my go to baits.
