Here's a US patent for one.Check it out.Machttp://www.uspto.gov/web/patents/patog/week34/OG/html/1297-4/US06931785-20050823.html
Here in Indiana I have seen little turtles go near LM bass beds, the bass would suck it up, leave the bed and spit it out.Might be something to try during the spawn if you are sight fishing bedding bass.
if the bass strike out of aggression and dont actually eat the bait, would it be feasable to use the lure and just set the hook as soon as there is any tension? or is this just a waste of time? it probably couldnt hurt if nothing else is working? i am like a bass and they are the turtle, once a bass is in my mouth i just spit it out
Guys....think about this: A bass will pick up and move a live turtle, correct? And why do they let go? Because it's kicking around! I'd be willing to bet that if a bass grabbed the plastic turtle, it would hang on plenty long enough to set the hook just because of the simple fact that it wouldn't be kicking around in its mouth. But that's just my opinion.-Zach
