Havoc pitboss

 another review for the havoc line. well i have thrown the pit boss on two occasions now , there really wasn't the bite going to make it a viable bait but i gave it some water time just the same. first impressions out of the bag are that its kinda a run of the mill creature bait. nothing too fancy or special about it, its a bit larger than a sweet beaver but it has the two flapping appendages and the two antenna appendages.  i fished it in a color called "california" its kind of a green pumpkin color with red flake, again a generic color with a different name, the design of the bait and color are attributed to skeet reese hence the cali name i guess.  I threw the bait on a 1/4 ounce weight texas rigged with a 4/0 gamakatsu hook. it had  the flapping action of most flipping creature baits. its pretty loose at the appendages so  it moves a lot more than some of the stiffer baits, but not as mechanical as the paca craws or rage baits by strike king. caught a few fish with them and it worked ok and maintained itself for about 3 fish before becoming too torn on the hook to reuse. would i recommend it? well the Havoc line is kinda a cheaper line of baits, they hype them up with so and so developed this one or that one but this bait is pretty generic. the Havoc line also dosent have the built in scent that most berkley baits do. for the price it seems to be worth the buy. I'm not sure id go out of my way to acquire it, but again price wise it may be worth it. i have seen them on sale at  tascklewharehouse for 1.99$ and there are 8 in a pack. i think there are better creature baits out there, i think there are worse baits out there. bottom line is its not bad for the price and will fill a need for a pitching style creature. add some scent and it will be good to go.
