| saw where the weight difference is a mere 0.5 OZ -- before I order does the shallow model actually hang up higher in the water column VS the Regular model ? I looked forward to a shallow model for a long time to fish streams in the winter where a slow retrieve and hang time is desired . |

Location: Madison, WI | Haven't seen the sink rate for the regular but a buddy was throwing a shallow version and it appeared to drop pretty quick. It definitely didn't have the hang rate or anything that you would think, and hope, a shallow model would. Dropped nose first pretty fast. Weight would prob need to be centered more. |

| I am going to have to completely disagree with the previous poster. I've been throwing a shallow "pounder" sized Dusa this fall and it stays very high in the water column, typically fishing in the top 1-2' and that is with a pull pause retrieve. The big issue I've seen with the bait is that it has to be worked slowly, too fast and it spins. However, the tails pulse nicely with such a retreive and I do not have issues with it sinking too fast. Perfect cadence for fall temps, IMO. |

Location: Walker, MN | I found the Shallow Monster Medusa to have a very slow fall as well. Almost painfully so. I had no problem fishing mine over rock high spots that top out at a mere 3'-4'. The appendages are pretty much motionless on the fall but come alive when you pull it. Mine has not gotten it's due time but seems like a good option for going over shallower weeds, rocks etc. |

| Dont think the monster size would be good for the streams I fish , ( maybe who knows) thanks for the comments , would like to hear more opinions on the regular size shallow model. |
