Looks like a cross between the banjo minnow and the Storm Wildeye jigs.

Any sort of fishing gear/ hooks on "as seen on tv" is meant to catch people, not fish, IMO.

To be honest I have always wanted to order something from TV just because. and to think the mighty bite has that "wounded action"

i wouldnt buy it...


if it needs an infomercial then its a scam ..... because most if not all quality baits come from elite line , tournament tested and actually proven in competition .... an infomercial type sell is a marketing tactic associated with get rich quick schemes .... .



think of it this way. would you take the word of numb nuts on tv , who has no fishing experience ( just listen to him )

or if you have takasaki support a new jig with a blade , which he endorses and maybe even won an event with.... that to me is more proven then these tv gimicks


the only real bait that ended up truly being successful ? banjo minnow ,


mighty bites is a poorly contructed swimbait .... berkely make those by the thousands, at much better quality and even they dont sell .... marketing sells to fishermen , thats it .

i got a few i ordered...i was kind of disapointed that it prefromd nothing lik how it was supposed to be like. the wounded target area is BS they work about the same way as a storm wildeye does. without te quality and brand name.

not worth 20 bucks go buy some banjo minnows!

Sounds like an honest review. Lots of hype in the advertising, not much in the performance part. Sounds like he just saved you some money!

yeah its kinda sad acualy, they swim like wildeyes and the got that action by jigging the rod tip up and down kinda like how you can do it with a with wildeyess to. by some mimic minnows there the closesed thing to the action and im sure you can cut it out and dye the plastic.

I got suckered in and bought the kit! It's really not that bad. Tried them ice fishing and caught a pike almost as soon as it was down the hole!! Have yet to try them in the open water. I'm way to addicted to using rap's lol
