This is a great deal. Just the case alone is perfect to take on longer backpacking trips. It has space on both sides for lures, a nice center container to place weights and hooks, and it comes with a carabiner to clip it to a pack.I was able to move all my lures from a Plano clear plastic container to this and organize my lures far better. In the Plano there were multiple lures sitting on top of each other in each section, where as with this case I can easily hook them side by side and had room for a large number of spoons, minnows, and spinners ranging in sizes from 1/24 oz up to 2/5 oz.On top of what my intended use for this purchase was, it also included 20 spinners of various patterns. I am personally only planning to use 2 or 3 of the included spinners, but they all appeared to be decent quality and should work fine. One of the 20 spinners had significant paint chipped off it, but I am not really sure I can even complain about that as this is a case, and 20 spinners on top of that all for under $20.The foam itself I imagine will not last long term, as the hooks will definitely tear it up as time goes on, but that is pretty standard for any containers using this type of foam. I should get a few backpacking trips use out of it before needing to replace it, and when one side wears out, I will just flip the lures upside down and hook their others sides without issue.Great purchase, recommended for backpacking.

I'm a creature of habit. I have a tackle bag full of lures, baits, etc., but I tend to use a small handful of specific ones 90+% of the time. What exactly I use may change over time, but I definitely have my go-to options. Over the past 3-4 months, I've been gravitating heavily toward lipless crankbaits as my preferred moving bait after having quite a bit of success with them. Unfortunately, I'm also prone to losing lures, so I tend to shy away from the high end!I'd already picked up a few nice items from Plusinno including two telescopic rod/reel combos, a landing net, and a line spooler. I decided to give this crankbait set a try, and I'm glad I did! You get 10 lures for under $2 per-lure, and as you can see in the provided photos, they absolutely catch fish! With the variety of included colors and patterns, you almost certainly have a good option for any type of water/sky/temperature conditions.These lures have a nice appearance, both out of the water and while moving through the water on retrieval. They also have a nice rattle to attract attention. They're a bit lighter in weight than the more expensive lipless crankbaits I own, but they cast and retrieve very well and suspend well in the water when not moving.The hooks on them are curiously small relative to other crankbaits that I've owned. However, they're also perhaps the sharpest hooks in my bag! Once hooked, it's unlikely you're going to lose a fish (they also hang onto your pants, shoelaces, and fingertips quite well!).I haven't really commented on the folding bag in which they were delivered because I immediately removed them (using pliers as they're stuck fast to the foam and those hooks are sharp!) and added them to my crankbait tackle box. It seems like a decent enough container, but I already have my own way of organizing and carrying my baits.Overall this is a fantastic deal on a nice set of lipless crankbaits in the "rattletrap" family. If that's something that you use, it's worth the low entry price; if it's not something you've used, I recommend giving them a try as they're a nice addition to your arsenal. And when I've inevitably donated enough of these to the water gods, I'll almost certainly order another set to refill my stock.

I have always been a fan of these types of spinners. I have used spinners all over the world and they catch fish. Most of the spinners in this set are in the style of the Mepps Spin, which has been around since the 1950s and is probably one of the most well known and successful spinner baits ever invented. The other lures in the box are in the style of the also very well known and very successful Worden's original Rooster Tail. Like the Mepps, the Rooster Tail spinner has been around since the 1950 and is a time tested design.When I saw this kit, sporting several Mepps style spinners, including one that is a replica of the Original Mepps Spin, I knew I had to try it out. I took this box out to a the lake last week and tried them out. I wanted to see just how well they functioned. I have bought some cheap lures in the past that just did not function well in real use and was worried about these. But to my surprise, they functioned very well. Having casted the original Mepps and and Rooter Tails for over 40 years, I can say that these lures function as well as the originals. They are very well balanced and the spinners were very responsive to movement.One of the things that sets the Mepps Spin apart from other spinner baits of this style, is the design of the blade and how it spins. The blades on most spinner baits rotate in canonical (cone) shape around the shaft of the lure. The blade on the Mepps spin, rotates almost straight out or perpendicular to the main shaft of the lure. The effect of this unique design is that the blade provides more resistance and spins faster. This means that you can retrieve the lure much slower then most other spinners while achieving a good fast spin rate from the blade. In situations where fish may not be very excited and hesitant to chase a fast moving spinner, the Mepps style can encourage these lazy fish to bite, because they provide lots of action at a slower velocity then other spinners. Also, because the lure is providing more resistance, it increase the line tension against the rod which gives you a better feels of the lure. This increases your ability to feel strikes when they happen. So, when I was testing these lures out I was paying special attention to the above factors and was very happy with how the lures functioned.The one thing that was less then optimal about these lures was the treble hooks, which I found to be weaker then normal. While casting around the lake, I got snagged a couple times. I was using 6lb test monofilament line. When trying to free the lures from snags, the hooks bent out quite easily and I was able to bend them back into shape with only my fingers with not a lot of effort. I was glad to be able to get the lures back, but the ease with which the hooks bent out gave me some concern as to whether the same would happen if I hooked into a large fish. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to see if this would happen on the day I tested them as I did not hook into any large fish. Maybe on a future fishing trips I will hook into some larger fish and I will be able to report back at that time.Bottom Line:These are pretty nice lures that copy some historically great designs. You might only pick two or three spinners of these styles in the store for $10. You get 10 spinner lures and a box for about the same cost of a couple lures in the store. That is hard to beat. I wish the hooks were a little stronger, but it is nice to be able to get your lures back if they get snagged.

Awesome baits for the price can't be beat. Well made lures with really good bright colours that drive the fish crazy. This package has all the lures u need to find out what colours the fish are biting on that day. I have used these lures to catch some nice walleye/pickeral and they will be good to catch all other types of fish bass, trout of all kinds and crappies.

Hooks are on the larger side for some blade sizes, but overall spin really nicely. I caught fish as easily as using panther martin spinners

Excellent product. Originally upon ordering I figured the case would be cheaply made and something I was just going to discard, but I ended up using it every time I go fishing for trout! The lures are a bit big for wild brookies, but I've swapped hooks on a few and have caught fish with them. Work great for pickerel/esox family and bass too! 10/10 product, very pleased with how well they work vs price
