Pautzke Bait Pautzke Fire Balls

Tried these out and did a little test. The Spec bite was slow and so I tried two of the same jigs, one with Fire Balls and the other without. The Fire Ball jig did get hit two to one. I read in the comments about how slimy and hard to get on the hook they were so before I went I brought along a golf tee. The golf tee was perfect to hold the Fire Ball in place so I could push the hook through the bait. I also like the fact they keep the Crappie Magnet jig tails spread apart as in their videos. New success for my Crappie addiction.

This product works great! I tried it out and I was impressed by how well it drew fish in. The fish in the picture is the first one that I caught using the product. I went on to catch several more. I have seen other posts slamming the product, but it worked great for me. I highly recommend it.

Works as expected. Caught a few fish at Lk Quincy. Kinda SUCKS that the Amazon price that I paid was NOT the sticker sale price...maybe the merchant should peal the sale stikers off before shipping.

Well...I got this in today...and man...I didnt even have to open the package, I could smell the garlic. My kids looked at me weird and couldnt smell a thing...even with their nose on the package. Opened it up to take the canister out, whew...its strong. My kids still looked at me weird cause they couldnt still smell it. Told them I have a sensitive smell due to my hearing loss. If they wanna know what it smells like, take it outside and open it so it doesnt kill me. They took it outside and opened it...wow, I got slapped in the face with the strong smell of garlic!!! My kids started coughing and gagging cause of how strong it is when they opened it. Thankfully they didnt spill it. Anyhow, cant wait to use this on my next fishing trip. If I can smell it through the canister inside a sealed bag...am sure the fish will go wild for it!!!

I can't really speak to how effective these are with other fish? But I was trying to catch trout in a mountain stream and unfortunately they weren't biting on this bait or any other trout eggs of any other color. But I've heard great things from other fishermen.

Wow! this is the real deal, Ive caught more fish using this product.

These have a good enough look and smell that in theory they should attract fish. Unfortunately there's no way to keep these on a hook. They peel in half when trying to get them on even the smallest hook - or they just slide right off. I've never been able to make a cast where these don't go flying off in every direction before the hook hits the water. And yes, this is even when using bait holder hooks. The only success I've had putting these in water on a hook is by slowly dropping the hook over the side of the boat. Even then, they're gone before I can pull the line back up out of the water. I think part of the problem is how small they are - even the smallest hook makes too much of a hole in these that they just fall apart. The other problem is how slimy they are. I think the slime is probably great for attracting fish - but they're chasing the eggs that aren't attached to hooks because the slime helps these things slip right off of the hook.

I prefer traditional pautzke's balls of fire, but i was in a jam. These worked as well.

Works great

Very good

First time river salmon fishing. The product worked as we had about 6 bit in a 1 hour span. We didn't land any salmon but had a blast fighting the ones that took the bait.

JE PENSAIS QUE C ETAIT DES BOULES DE FEU A LA CANELLE HELAS NON CE SONT DES OEUFS DE SAUMON POUR LA PÊCHE QUELLE DECEPTION ET CA A COÛTÉ TRÈS CHER.
