The DS was a game changer in prerigged soft plastics. I gotta hand it to Zman tho, their Gobius is an improvement on nearly every level. The only thing MB has the advantage on (as of summer 2024) is size/weight diversity.
Nice
I fished the middle size today. Lake I was on has lots of weeds and a muddy bottom, a crawl with a bullet weight seems to do ok…the sleeper kept collecting a lot of weeds even in fairly weed less areas…so I just ended up swimming it around…one monster hit on it, it is by far the most realistic bait ever. Great job helping to design the sleeper. I will definitely use it when the bottom is more solid
The Dark Sleepers are smallmouth candy! Michigan waters are infested with the gobies, and all the predators up here hate them – I have no doubt these will catch a variety of species up here.
Love those bait! Good stuff randy
I bought a bunch of these. I used one of my fathers dark sleepers last year and I must say they’ll absolutely catch a ton of fish. Fishing it like a jig was very effective for me.
I just went out two days ago and bought a few of these not knowing about this video. Glad i used my gut feeling, im excited to try these out in the St. Louis area.
I like the sleeper gill as well
They need to make them up to 5” and 1/2,3/4,& 1 oz sizes. Sauger and walleye would love them to I bet
How are they on walleye?
Fishing lake Murray KBF series, from a kayak at the end of February. I no there's no 1 answer I'm having trouble knowing the bass behavior and I don't think it's cheating to ask about behavior. And realize I'm very limited to around 8 _12 miles, At 4mph.any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Randy 👌 😊
I just saw something that looked identical made by ozark trail at Walmart for a dollar.
Thanks can’t say enough how much as a listener I appreciate that this video is very informative yet not 15+ min.
Thank you Randy. I found these two years ago and they have produced for me. I look to use them more with you tips.
Why doesn't the dark sleeper work well in south Texas?
The Savage Gear version of this is pretty slick too. A little more weedless and has those photo print bluegill patterns
I have 2 of these lures, the 3" Mutugorou and the Clear Chartreuse one, I gotta admit they are kind weird the way you have to retrieve them in order to catch fish, I use the "mini yoyo"way, short up and downs on a little slack and you're right!! they bite it usually on the way up even when they're not spawning. Don't swim them, Bass don't seem to like it. You basically Carbon Copy all I do with these babies making me even more confident on the lure now that a Pro like you proves my technique. Love your instructional videos Brother, Happy Year and God Bless!! Hey are you coming to Kissimmee Chain of Lakes Feb. 8-13? would love to meet and talk to you.
Can’t fish it wrong.
These baits always just end up being an expensive fishing trip for me……
Yeah I’ve used for yrs tatical bass n turned me on to this sleeper yrs ago
These are no different than the Berkley Storm lures! Only difference is the hidden hook in the dorsal fin
Could I fish this with spots in ditches instead of a jig
I think I have at least 20 of those things. They are so versatile and they just catch fish
Shhhhhh! The Dark Sleeper is my dark sleeper. Don’t tell everyone!
These and the Gill Sleeper are on my fishing to do list this Year. Pricey but if they work.
I just found one with eye missing; glued on a red eye. Excited to try it next time.
What's the best size and color for pond bass in the deep south
Any recommendations for what to use in the Hudson River (North of NYC)? I’ve tried the sleepers and a variety of other baits and am really struggling. Targeting large/small mouth bass. Much appreciated!
I know it’s a big fish bait depending on the lake you’re fishing.
Love this bait fished it wrong when I first got it. I fished it like a swimbait started fishing it like a jig the Wisconsin smallies crush it. Hook up ratio very good Megabass hit another home run!!
Good bait, started using it in saltwater, my son caught some nice speckled trout on it. Going to use it for flounder as well.
Walleyes love that thing
Huge drum destroy that thing too
Good video Randy. I started catching fish with them after I watched a video you did about them. Been hooked ever since
The eyes fell off of mine after only a couple of uses.
I own a few and I use them as a Jig when I do.
The problem I have is that any bass I can catch with The Dark sleeper I can catch with Tube Baits( Full disclosure
I inject and dip my own tube bait and tube jigs, I save a ton of money doing my own) since I make them I have utmost confidence in them so I’m biased and admit it.
When I do use a dark sleeper it’s when my jigs don’t produce well (I make them too) I use a 1oz spinnerbait to slow roll when I need more speed and/or flash (buying my own 1oz oz. Mold this year for it)
I can target bluegill chasing bass (all three and Striper)
It’s price is very reasonable for a Megabass lure in all their sizes. 1/4oz 2.4” $5.99 to 1oz. 3.8” $7.99. That’s a fair price for a lure that absolutely catches them.
Excellent video
The Sleeper family is going to have a new member.
1st we met the Dark Sleeper, then came Sleeper Gill and the new addition is Sleeper CRAW.
Thanks Randy for your information.
Must add this to my arsenal. I bring too much stuff on my kayak as it is. Have to start paring down. Like the shirt also, is that just for sponsored folk?
