I generally only use live bait that has been caught the day of fishing, and as expected they die after a while, sometimes sooner than later depending on how you're fishing and how bad they're traumatized.This felt like a really great way of keeping them "alive" and enticing once they're no longer moving on their own. Wasn't able to get video or pics of the first time use, but the sizing does seem to be a bit off. They recommend 5-8" baitfish but this thing is almost 5" long itself, so most of them it won't even fit in their mouth at 5" long, and if it does it may still stick out of their mouth. Might still fool and work but plan on probably at LEAST a 6" fish.I was always nervous about anything electronic being cast out due to potential loss but the way they have you rig these with a separate leader and no hook means you can extract it from your catch even if they swallow it as long as you can cut the lead with your hook on it.It is packaged beautifully, the directions are clear, and the movement is great. It's built well and feels more expensive than it is. The "on/off" is capacitive so it's designed to make contact and turn itself on when in the water and touching the innards. Or if you touch it.Definitely excited to keep this in my box and put it to use.One thing to note is they claim 2 hours of life, and "over" 300 charges, so that is a LOT of fishing but there is no way to change or replace a battery so this does have a finite lifespan.

Impressed is not even a strong enough word to express how much I was blown away by the quality and design of this product. The engineers were able to take something so simple and make it into an incredible product that I feel will for ever change how we approach fishing with live bait. The packaging for the product was of the absolute highest quality and the attention to detail was breath taking. The smart bait mini even came with a leather carrying case and one of the most durable brand stickers I have ever seen. The product itself is so simple to use that my grandmother could easily use it, though I doubt she would have the stomach to. You don't even have to turn the product on. Instead, it uses sensors, located on the back, to detect when it's inside the fish and then turns itself on. The movement that it gives to dead fish is absolutely incredible and they look almost more alive than before they died. In conclusion this is a product of the absolute highest quality and ingenuity. I would highly recommend it to anyone who uses live bait and can say with great confidence that the fishing industry will be forever changed.

This is such a cool little gadget, and it works really well when used with the right-sized bait fish. If the bait is too small, it won’t fit properly, and if it’s too large, it won’t perform as intended, but when you get it right, it’s very effective.One thing to watch out for is losing it if your line breaks, so make sure it’s securely attached before casting. Despite that, I would 100% recommend it—it’s both fun to use and genuinely effective on the water.

This thing is amazingly effective and you will absolutely feel like you're fishing in the future.First thing I have to mention is the remarks build quality.Everything from the plastics and rigging to the motor function and electronics, this thing is amazing.I've used it primarily in fresh water inside of small to medium bluegills and it's been remarkably effective rigged up for big catfish.The entire unit is water tight with a locking cap. There are no unnecessary holes like charge ports or screws as the charger is a magnetic contact charger.The action is really convincing, on a sinker rig it looks exactly like a wounded bluegill.I really like the battery capacity, I used this for a solid eight hours and it showed no sign of slowing down.For the price there just isn't a better piece of tech.

This compact lure revives small bait fish (13–20 cm) with lifelike swimming and escape movements, plus fish-attracting sound waves that consistently draw strikes. It’s built tough with a 150-meter waterproof rating and can handle aggressive bites, while the smart activation system turns it on automatically in water. The magnetic fast-charge feature gives over 2 hours of runtime—plenty for a short trip or multiple fishing sessions. The included bite-resistant line and retrieval design add peace of mind, making it effective for both freshwater and saltwater.Pros:Perfect size for attracting smaller fishRealistic swimming and escape actionEmits fish-attracting sound waves150-meter waterproof rating with rugged buildAutomatic water-activated startMagnetic fast charging with 2+ hours runtimeIncludes bite-resistant line and safe retrieval designQuick tip: Charge it the night before your trip and attach the bite-resistant line—it’s a small step that can save your lure from getting lost to a big, unexpected bite.

I just tried out this little robotic fishing lure, and it's seriously a game-changer. The auto-swimming and lifelike action are pretty incredible; it moves just like a real fish, which really seems to attract a lot of attention. It’s rechargeable, so you don't have to worry about replacing batteries, and it works just as well in freshwater for bass as it does in saltwater. It's a great little lure for targeting different kinds of fish. If you're looking for a unique and effective way to get more bites, this smart bait is a really cool tool to have in your tackle box.
