Works for me

from California
Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money, Quality
"this mouse works and its cheap does have the one design flaw where it might possibly rip but mine has not ripped yet depends on how thick the cover is like hard wood as opposed to lilly pads also any toothed fish would kill this lure but im using it for bass with ease I might add... looks good to boot"

By jlbassison
Disadvantages: Durability
"I do not know if it was a difective mouse or poor manufactoring but afterone trip out the nose of the mouse blew apart leaving the mouse dangling and in no way of use anymore. Proir to this the action of the mouse was what i expected the weight and float abilty was great. It is just ashame it happened before i got any bites, that would have been easier to accept than just damaged from casting."

By 8theB8

Disadvantages: Performance
"Hard plastic, the bait tends to roll around on pads and adhere's to them in the heat! You can cast them a ways, but you may get hung up when it rolls and then you have to go get it! I gave my two away."

awsome
,September 8, 2009
By JohnthekingFisher
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money
Disadvantages: hook ratio
"these rat lures are great! I just started largmouth bass fishing this year and this was the first top water lure I bought. Figured I'd give it a shot. after a couple of casts into the lilly pads I started getting hits like crazy. Hooking the fish was abit tough but if you wait a couple seconds before setting the hook you should be good. I bought a white and a green rat. I also caught a pike on this thing. He took my first one which was the green one. I tied my white one on. Cast it out let it sit reel in abit then let it sit. He ended up having that rat right down his throat. I brought the pike home an filleted it. Found my other hook in its belly. Pretty cool"

Hard to hook!!!
,August 2, 2009
By Squatch
from Northern Idaho
Advantages: Ease of use
Disadvantages: Performance
"I have not been able to set the hook on a fish yet with this lure. It swims and moves fine, but I do not care for where the hook sits in this bulky body. I will try the trailer hook idea, but where I like to fish mice, it is weedy and lots of vegetation. I like the snag-proof mouse. I catch alot of bigger fish with this lure."

By cavecop
from north vernon indiana
Advantages: Ease of use
"i recently bought a 6 pack of top water frogs and mice. with no luck from the frogs i started throwing out the mice. i have not ever had better luck. i have caught 8 largemouth bass over 5lbs with these. I have fallen in love and its one of the few lures i always keep close by when im fishing for anything. I love the weedless mice and have got 9 different styles and colors and plan to buy more and cant wait to try them all. Indiana bass love them just off the weed beds in small to medium size bodys of waters."

Good slop bait
,May 6, 2008
By TopwaterNut
from Central New Jersey
"King Rat is a very good bait on top of the pads, or in mixed vegetation. I was missing a lot of blow-ups so I added a short shank spinnerbait trailer hook. Don't miss them now! I have caught a number of bass on the trailer. Oh yeah, pike and musky tear this thin skinned bait all up."

from Concord N.H.
"This lure was a disappointment . After only two or three strikes the hook would not go back to it's original setting. I like the idea of a rat lure but it has to be tougher. What you pay for this lure you expect it to last at least a season."

eeek!
,September 13, 2007
By oldgold
from salinas,ca.
"after i learned to pause a little longer on the hookset than i do on the frog lures i started hooking 2 out of 4 fish. it is completely weedless and scurries across the mossbeds very well. don't expect to hook every blow-up, no lure on the market will do that.. i have more success with the doublehook frog lures but this little rat is fun to use. it has its place in your arsenal of softies, but it's not a magic bullit. it cast well on b/c gear and that's a big plus. that may be its best featue when casting far back into the veggies. also, it seems to always land with the hook up. they may be a little fragile when it comes to the tear factor but if you catch a 10lb. bass and it gets destroyed who cares?"

By lost at sea
"I bought three of these and when the package arrived there were four that had been shipped. I went through the first three in a total of less then fifteen casts, the hook just rips through the body with the littlest bit of strain. I have the fourth one still but I will never waist another cast with this bait on my line."

By cincyfisherman07
"one day i used this lure when they weren't hitting on any bait. Once i threw the lure in the water they went crazy they would hit it at least 5 times before i got my lure back in. it like starts a feeding frenzy or some thing. I would of never guessed it would work if i never tried it. I think the bass like the tail on the bait."

King Rat
,March 24, 2006
By Bass angler
from Illinois
"I used the King Rat in grey in some upper Wisconsin lakes last year in the one week I caught over 100 Large Mouth bass. My best day was 31. The % of fish that hit and were hooked was about 200% more than any other weedless lure I have used. I highly recommend. I only had 5 with me and wound up super glueing them back together. They were totaly destroyed after the week."
