I started fishing The Dark Sleeper about 4 years ago. Caught fish my first time throwing it and never looked back. Always have them in the boat all 4 seasons of the year. Works in dirty water too if you make some racket with it. Love your content Randy. C’MON 100K !!

These baits are legit. I started using them way back when Tacticalbassin mentioned them. I've been catching fish on them ever since. Fishing them like Randy suggests works fantastic. Popping this bait out of grass works great for me as well.

Thank for the information. I have a couple of these but never tired one on. Now I know!

Been on it for the past 3 or 4 years. Sculpin and Gobi are bottom huggers and are mimicked by the dark sleeper. Great small mouth bait !

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.

First time commenting, caught more fish every time I actually understand what your sayin…you’re pro for sure…I just got some of these…stoked

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

Good video Randy. I started catching fish with them after I watched a video you did about them. Been hooked ever since

[kenpfeiffer]

Thank you Randy. I found these two years ago and they have produced for me. I look to use them more with you tips.

Dark sleepers are great little swimbait/ jigs, I usually hop& drag them. I was kinda late to using them but I have a bag of assorted sizes & colors now

A dark sleeper is my favorite bait to skip docks with.. I can skip it all the way to the sea wall and up in people's yards 😂.. but on a serious note, I love skipping that bait under docks because you can put it anywhere you want it and then fish it back like a jig or you can swim it out, I can't tell you how many tournaments me and my cousin have won because we were skipping this bait under docks.. then we would swim it out right in front of the dock and kill it and let it fall into a brush pile and then hop it out of the brush Piles... Sneaky sneaky bait that I don't think people even realize how many applications you can use it for!!

[BrianMason]

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.

[TheAverageFisherman]

I love these lures. I use them as more of a weedless jig.

[BattleBornBrandon]

Just bought one! Can't wait to land a fish with it!!

[funkymojo]

I just found one with eye missing; glued on a red eye. Excited to try it next time.

[mikecollett]

These and the Gill Sleeper are on my fishing to do list this Year. Pricey but if they work.

Good bait, started using it in saltwater, my son caught some nice speckled trout on it. Going to use it for flounder as well.

[Darkman-Fishing]

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
