Storm Kickin' Goby


The Pro's:
The Storm Kickin' Goby caught my eye at a gander mountain a few month's back, I purchased this lure in hopes that it would be a smallmouth bass killer. It turned out to be mildly successful due to its con's (see below). The idea is great and I think if i fished in a lake with a more abundant goby population it would work better. The Storm Kickin Goby has cought me a decent amount of bass and it will be tested more this spring during spawn, I have a feeling it is going to be killer around spawning beds. The lure itself is made of soft plastic like many other Storm lures and has a holographic insert that is molded into the lures body, Although you can't tell from the picture the lure is also jointed.

The Con's:
I found out that it is a difficult lure to fish due to my lack of patience that I earned from zipping crankbaits all last summer. The Storm Kickin' Goby requires an extremely slow retrieve to keep it upright, if fished to fast it will also spin and cause line tangles and twists.

Is it a good Buy?
Its an ok lure so far, but there is no need for one in your tackle box.

Thanks for the review. I was looking at these the other day online, thinking about buying one. Not sure it's a must have after reading you're write up.
