Bagley like Rapala has been around for many years and ther is a good reason why these two companies hold such a high respect with bass fishermen everywhere. Its the quality and consistency that they put into every bass lure that they make. I have had a chance to try one of these Bagley Bang-O-Lures this fall and so I have been overly impressed with the outcome. Sure it could be because its a husky jerk and the fall bass fishing binge is in full swing where I live and these little bass love these lures right now, but I can foresee this lure on my line for next summer's bass season. The Bagley Bang-O-Lure comes in nine different colors and two different sizes a 4" and a 5". The lure is made of balsa wood just like the lures years and years ago. This stick bait like many other stick baits in its class are meant to mimic small fish and let me tell you, the action is extremely good. It is equipped with three sets of treble hooks, the paint job is of top quality and the lure is extremely durable. I have had success fishing this lure in the shallows for schooling bass and over shallow cover. The lure does not dive deep ( I believe Bagleys webpage says 1.5 feet), but don't let that stop you from tying one on.
The Con's:
I have done 45 lure reviews on this webpage and I can find a fault on nearly every lure I test out. Sure I can go on about how there are three treble hooks and it is sometimes a pain to fish these types of lures for catch and release, but I wont ;). I will say that these lures can get to be pretty pricey, in the $9 range but right now there are sales at bass pro shops for year end clearances and theres no better time to buy then right now.
Is it a Good Buy?
Further testing is needed to be done in the spring and summer seasons but right now for the fall, the bass fishing couldn't be better with this lure. Bagley's reputation is of high quality lures so I have a good feeling about this one.
