DOA Shrimp vs. Vudu Shrimp: Which Lure Catches More Redfish? (Day 1 Test)

Honestly, neither of them worked as well as a more realistic imitation I bought off of alibaba in a set of 10 for $3.50, nothing but top quality cheap labor and Chinese ingenuity to save the day. They also sell the exact copies of whopper ploppers you buy at any bait/tackle shop for a dollar apiece, literally made of the same exact materials and to the same specs. I honestly have no loyalty in any name brand nowadays, whatever works is what I use that day.

Day 2??

The test would've probably been more accurate if you had used both shrimp in the same color..... Try that comparison and see which outperforms the other. This is unfortunately like comparing apple's and oranges?!

Good video on technique! I will try it on flats fishing in Key West

Which scent did you use?

Lou-werr

I have not had great success w DOA shrimp. About the only DOA products I like are the CAL 3.5 minnow ($$$$$) and the jerk shad.

I bought a boat and fish at Arroyo city. I've gone out 9 times and still have not caught anything. Need help

What color slam shady did you use in this video

Never had any luck with either one off them. Salt water

Vuduu is good and I like the Savage Gear 3D shrimp too. And they do a real good crab Ive had big sheepshead on.

DOA is Killen the trout right now in Carolina

Winner winner, Redfish Dinner!!

Why wouldn't you use comparable colors? I don't catch much of anything on that color DOA, but using a DOA that's the color of the voodoo you're using I catch lots of fish.
So your challenge is null and void for me!

What rig are you using

Vudu one peck sand bro

What weight line are you using ?

Idk I always have the best luck with the white glow in the dark doa 🙃 every other color is 👎🏽

Hey man quick question what size rod is ideal for back bay reds? Soft plastics and popping cork? My 9 foot feels too long for fishing soft plastics back there. 5.5 too small?

DOA the hook alwaysss come 😊out

DOA all day

Next time I respectfully ask that the same color is used in any comparison. Colors matter greatly with artificials. What color Gulp do you use for flounder?? I see the same yellow every where I go. Usually it's catching fish.
Please do another comparison between the two using a close natural color. Not one against a pigment of your imagination.
Thanks!!

I have not ever,I meant ever had a plastic shrimp work well!

I remember when the DOA shrimp came out and we were excited to try it. I threw them enough without any luck that I gave up on them. I got more bites my first time trying a Z Man shrimp than all the times I tied the DOA. I haven't tried the Vudoo shrimp, and the next shrimp imitations I buy will be your Power Prawns. I love how the Z Man shrimps look but I have a bad hookup ratio with weedless rigs.

How trying savage gear shrimp vs voodoo shrimp

My only issue is the fact the fish are in one isolated hole. After a fish or 2, they get spooked and you're not getting accurate results. In my experience, the doa does better in light current situations. My buddy and I usually do test year round and very rarely use the same baits unless it's a clear case of the fish wanting one certain bait/color. That's lead to some pretty epic trout trips where we get dialed in pretty quick while others struggle to get even get bit

DOA works great here in Florida for, Reds, Snook, Flounder, and Trout but not the pink one. Looks like he's using a pink DOA if he uses the same color as the VuDu it'll probably have different results.

I've caught nice fish on both, however, Vudu has caught me more as well as nicer fish.

Use the smaller DOA with a rattle and get back to me.

The color makes a big difference

Should have tried the same color

Vudoo definitely gets me more fish. I only wish that tail wouldn't come off so easily. 1 lady fish and it's over sometimes.

No contest vudu 110% DOA is trash compared to vudu

The doa was slid down on the hook looked like!

Anyone else having trouble with VUDU changing their material? Softer and pulling away from the front too easily? I went from catching dozens of fish on one to a lure now only lasting 2 hours with or without a bite.

Try using the same color for a fair comparison, one is red or pink and the other is sand the same as the bait in the water.

I know I'm late to the party. But I just wanted to say, I use BOTH! I prefer the DOA at night, dock fishing. The DOA, skips much better and does sink slower. It also has replacment tails, which is a big deal! You can always add nail weight in the nose of a DOA, if you like! 😮

You didn't take ANY freshwater with you fishing?? I ALWAYS grab ATEAST 3 bottles with me. I make it A POINT to always bring a few bottles....i live a couple hours north of you in Jax. Doesnt matter if its june..85 degrees humid snd cloudy...or if its Feb Sunnny crisp and cool..55 for a high..TAKE WATER. THOUGHT YOU HAD MORE SENSE?

I thought we used prawns?

No No No what that tells me is you are sponsored by VUDU because that was in no way a fair comparison the DOA was a pink color and the VUDU was a more tanish brown. Try using the same color ,weight etc then come back you havent convinced me about either one yet

What Scent did you put on the Lures?

You have different colors. Also how are you fishing the lures? The Vudu sinks FAST. D.O.A. shrinks slowly.
