Have you tried these lures with success? What fish have you caught with them? I would think white bass would love them. I have not seen any in stores. What store did you buy yours at?

They are great. Lots of sand bass.

Fun & Sun in Hurst or go to his web site.

Here is the web site.

I like the 3/4 oz because you can get to a school of topwater whites without spooking them.

I like the 1/4 oz. under a float up in the creeks. You can catch crappie, bass, whites and even a few cats. The hooks are to big for the gills but they sure mess with it.

Thanks guys. I saw the website, but wondered if they had them for sale at a store by a name I would know. Like BPS, Cabelas, Academy, Gander Mt etc...

I notice that the Humdinger resembles a Little George. Do they act about the same when you use them?

They work.....



Lewisville hybrid from last fall, i caught probably 50-60 sandbass the same evening on the same white w/ silver flake Humdinger. They're a better quality bait than the Little George. Order direct from LeRoy....

Wow, nice fish! I need to make that order fast!

So now my next question, which Humdinger do you prefer? The one with two blades, the super...or the original?

I use the Original.

Thanks. I will wait to see what others say as well before making a small order to test them out.

I like the super. Sometimes they strike at the spinner.

been a long time since I used a lure that wasn't either a humdinger or a TNT slab.

Original all the way! I try to avoid double trebles on sandbass / hybrid lures for several reasons.

The original is the one I love- ¾ oz. chartreuse and white. Very good for shallow water fish , I also use them when fish school in deep water. Just count down about half way and a steady retrieve

Thanks guys. You have really made my day. I cannot wait to order them and give them a whirl. I wish I had a couple today to try out. I think I am gonna head out to Lake O The Pines for a bit and see what I can catch. I used to use minnow, worms etc..and jigs. Now I have spread out and bought many more crank baits, and plastics. I have had decent look with cranks, but poor luck with plastics. I am trying to be a more rounded angler. Besides bait dies on ya. But if I have to go to bait, I definitely still will at times. I have been fly fishing more than anything lately. But today I think it will be conventional gear mostly.

we use the originals and like them a lot- they are very durable and you can toss em a mile

Original 3/4oz white with silver flake and red head for me.

Chartreuse is my #2 favorite, the white w/ silver flake is #1 for me. Either way you can't wrong

Thanks guys. I think I am ready to buy now. :-) I caught the heck out of some fish today on spinner baits. I can't wait to add these babies to my collection.

Okay I emailed the guy with my order. I cannot wait to get them in!!!

You will love them.

Just from the things posted here, I know I will. I am all ready to hit the water with them...hehehe.

I got my Humdingers in late this afternoon. I ordered six to see how I like them. I gave one to my son. I got two chartreuse over white, and 4 of the white with silver flake. I thought I was getting 3 different kinds, but Leroy said that they all had red of them...so I ended up getting four of the white with silver flake. I put one away for a spare, and two went to two separate tackle boxes. That way I will have at least two in each box. If I leave one box, I still have them in my other box. I cannot wait to try them out. I will let you all know how they do for me my next trip out, which should be very quick. Leroy was a great guy. I think the body of the lures looked superb.

I would love to try one up under a float....on the spillway. Did you jig it, or just let it run with the current? I got all 3/4 oz lures, now that I reread this post I need to get 1/4 oz lures too. But I want to try these out first and see what I think .

Have you tried them out yet?
