Bayou Outdoors is a Monroe, Louisiana
company that produces a fine line of soft plastic baits. V & M
Baits are hand selected, loaded with pork fat, and offer a wide select
of shapes and colors to handle any fishing situation.
V & M
Baits cooks the pork fat into their line of soft plastic baits. This
gives the plastic worms, lizard, and other products many advantages
to the user. First, messy spray and pumps are a thing of the past.
Your buddy on the down wind side of the boat will appreciate the morning
air instead of a gentle mist of fish attractant. Next, the pork fat
in the bait last longer and does not wash off. Spend more time fishing
rather than applying attractant. Finally, fish hold on longer to the
natural flavor of pork. This gives the angler a chance to detect the
strike.
Everybody has a preferred
color. V & M Baits listened to their pro staff. Along with the
basic colors, a few colors with a Louisiana flavor add to the numerous
choices. Cajun Gold, Mardi Gras, and Neon Rouge are worth trying in
your part of the country. Redbug, red shad, green gourd, black, pumpkin,
and more round out the basic choices in color. A few hard to find colors
like sapphire blue are available from their website –www.bayououtdoors.com.
V & M
Baits offer many choices in plastic baits. Worms and lizards are available
in different sizes and styles. Tubes and corkscrews are great for flipping
into heavy cover. Super High-Tails answer the call of creature bait
fishermen. I reviewed the Super pork Pin on a jig head with excellent
results. I have used the V & M Finesse Worm as an early spring
offering to put weight in the boat. Their Bayou Craw is a new line
of plastics. It has great claws and a wide ribbed body to displace
plenty of water. The Bayou Craw works on a jig or Texas rig.
All bags of V & M
Baits are hand packed at the Monroe facility. This assures that each
package is just like the one you purchased last week. Careful injection
and quality control creates baits with smooth edges. Legs, tails, and
other appendages move with life-like action regardless of the rigging
used.
Whether you fish
Texas style, Carolina rigs, or jigs, Bayou Outdoors has a soft plastic
for you. Be sure to be hooked up with V & M Baits, the ultimate
bassin’baits.
