    Who Makes a Tough Beaver/Flippin' Bait?

    Most beavers that I have been using flippin' seem to be only good for two, maybe three fish before they are torn up and no longer stay on the hook. Have tried several different manufacturers and they all seem to be equally weak. Is this the nature of the bait/style of fishing or is there someone out there making a more durable bait? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

    If I catch two or three fish on a plastic bait it did it’s job. But that’s just me.

    The Z-man Palmetto Bug is what your looking for, made of their Elaztech plastic. Best I've done is one bait is 23 bass before I had to replace it.

    Find a mold you like or make your own. Pour away and not worry. Remelts old ones and keep flippibg. Keep it as a hobby and enjoy.
