I’ve used the Nancy P in several lakes and rivers. It’s been catching fish even in areas where I didn’t expect any action. The way it moves in the water is realistic and keeps fish interested. Great for both still and moving water.

Fished it during a morning trip and caught a few small bass. The legs move naturally and it stays visible in the current. Works well with a slow twitch and a pause.
