Catch-N Ring-N Grub/Pro Strength Bio-Bait Test


Recommended Posts

The Grubs look like they will do well. I havent used them as of yet, but have had a buddy try to steal them away when he seen them grin.gif I could have tried them out on some LG Bass but didnt. Hope you can respect the fact that i dont intentionally target fish out of season.

Catchn,,, can tell me if you have or know of anyone who has tried the bio bait you sent on a live bait rig? I did try a pice out for some sunnys and did pick up more Numbers of them. I did get larger ones thou on timberwolf jigs.

Analyzer,
Bio-Bait is very new... you may find it at
4 Seasons Sports - Redwing, MN (they now have all Catch-N Tackle products)
Red Rock Wilderness Store - Ely, MN
Bluewater Bait & Sports in Bemidji, Mn. Tell your local tackle store about it... I support tackle shops!

Otherwise, you can get it here... on FM!
See www.catch-n.com to order online. All falvors are in stock and most times... ship next day!

Using Bio-Bait is easy, just soak it for 15 minutes in a tiny bit of water. Use it as you would live bait... it is live bait ground up and saturated into a soy "noodle". Fish think it is the real animal. Bio-Bait has a great ptofile and shape, can be pinched into any size, and can be frozen once wey to be used again and again. See...

for more information.

went out tonight with the Bio-Bait to try my luck for some panfish. got to the spot and was using waxies while the Bio-Bait soaked in the water. caught sunnies one after another. switched to the Bio-Bait and they didn't seem to like it as much. i could still catch 'em but not near as many as i was with waxies. fished em on a yellow and red tear drop under a bobber. don't know if it's cuz it's the crawlers cuz i have never really had that great of luck with crawlers for panfish, but still got lots of fish to try it out on. thanx alot Catch'n for the samples, can't wait to try the grubs on the 'eyes.

Southern MN guys get signed up for the LETS league this summer. it'll be fun.

Guys & Gals doing the testing,
MN opener is near... please remember to let us know here, on your results.
I am eager to hear if the Ring-N Grubs that you were sent and if the NEW Pro Strength Crawler Bio-Bait did the trick for you!
Best of luck, have a great safe opener weekend!

Dave - I used the Ring-n-Grubs for the Wisconsin opener. I was fishing mainly on a small river (Yellow up from big Yellow Lake) and did catch some fish on Ring-n-Grubs and a no-snag jig. I tipped it with a fathead and also fished it plain. the bite wasn't great and I caught more fish with a fathead. Caught a lot of fish that were under 15 inches and also caught a couple pike. I probably caught 20 walleyes and cleaned 7. I was cutting a full ringworm in half and catching a higher percentage of fish. Maybe color had something to do with it because I was using chartreuse/orange ringworms. The product does have nice action and I will also try them on the Mississippi. Thanks!

Hi Dave,

I used the ringworm last week for walleye on Lake Nokomis/Rice River Flowage in Wisconsin last week. I didn't try the bio-bait yet, water's too cold for what I'd use it for. As Carl did, I did the same. I cut it down a little due to the size and aggressivness of the fish. I tryed several types of plastics, maribous, and hair jigs. By far the ring style grubs worked the best. I wish I had some smaller ones than the ones you sent because I used some other ring grubs which were smaller with great success!
Do they work? YES! At least on this particular outing. The fish held on to the grub without letting go. I think the soft feel of the bait was the reason. Also I'm thinking the "rings" emit sounds in the water which attract fish. The grubs were fished without bait, however I did make a concoction of smashed up minnows in a cup then dipped the grub into it for scent.
Didn't try out the bio-bait yet. I'll let you know when I do.

All in all.....I give it a thumbs up!

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
