Sean Greene –
Used this lure in a lake with mostly bass and trout. The erratic movement caught several strikes, even when the fish were slow to react. The floating action and tail movement are very natural and effective in open water.
Eric Watson –
Fished it during early morning when the water was calm. The scatter lip and rattle created a lot of movement that triggered bites from both pike and smallmouth bass. A solid choice for aggressive fishing.
