RobM27 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've been seeing these pop up for sale a lot lately but can't find any swim vids. Do they swim well or do guys just like the realistic look of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.lillywhite Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've been wondering about them too. Maybe the lack of responses here is a sign that they work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickh87 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have 2, with another coming in the mail in a few days. They swim really great, has a nice glide action to it. Sinks when you reel it in, if you let it sit it rises to the surface. Only thing I don't like is that some of the paint above the rear hook is chipping off during cast (at least for mine, was throwing it for about an hour JeremyW, RobM27 and s.lillywhite 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have its place forsure Edited April 9, 2015 by JeremyW RobM27 and s.lillywhite 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridaswimb8er Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 What is the weight on these baits. It looks like the guy is chucking it on a pretty standard casting outfit. I thought they weighed about 3oz which would require something pretty beefy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about where to get the lead tape, you can find it in sporting goods stores in the golf section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaswimbaiter Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Changing hooks and rings is a lot easier than adding weight or tape. You would be surprised how little it takes sometimes. There is a post in the review section on this bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
