I got a flash carp and the first day out i had 3 bites. Caught a 2 pounder missed another small one and then lost at least an 8 that jumped and shook it. Really strong too for a plastic bait. Hit it off of a rock with no damage. That painted on flash is awesome. Winner in my book. try doubling up the front split ring only so the hook hangs lower. Lost those 2 then I did that and finally one stayed on. Idk why everyone is flipping them.
