Jigs, I would still give the knod to the Basstrix, seems to have more body movement to me. Your gonna see alot more knock-offs coming in the next few months, and who knows somebody may come up with an even better fish catcher. I'm not knockin anyones baits, heck without the constant attempts to capture some of the market, we would all still be using Creme Scoundrels and throwin Snagless Sally's, Bombers and jerkin plain old Rapalas ( none of which worked by the way ). I just think the Basstrix is still the bait I am going purchase right now

I heard something about the hollow bodies of the Basstrix being the main differentiator between the recent knock-offs.

Bassmasters magazine did a great article on the basstrix this month.

[Steve Ericksen]

I stocked up on them back in March/April from Oroville Outdoors and have been using them sparingly since, but I'm starting to run out!

It's kinda funny that Basstrix had tons in stock at the ISE and a few months later, they're soooooo backordered and people from both coasts are clamoring for them!

Basstrix:
Pro: Nice wiggle when worked properly, hollow tube keeps them up a little higher in the water column.
Cons: nearly impossible to get, get torn up easily, difficult to hook exactly right, turn sideways if worked fast.

Money Minnow:
Pro: AVAILABLE. More durable than Basstrix, seems a little heavier and is easier to hook properly (I don't know why this is), swims faster without turning up on its side, 4 per vs. 3 for the same $$.
Cons: Colors (Basstrix is better), it is a knockoff (how many of you will choose a generic Senko).

Never Used the Magic Worms one.
