Anyone having luck with the Svartzonker lures? I remember seeing a lot of hype about them before the season but it seems to have disappeared. They looks like pretty nice baits but wondering how they actually work before spending $$ on them.

I've seen them and interested in at least trying out the McTail. Any idea where to purchase them in the states?

I purchased a few Mctail's at the show. I used them for a few hours, no fish. I'm not sure how I feel about them. From an Action perspective I prefer my Musky Buster Mini ap at least so far. I know Thorne started to carry them recently along with a few of his other lures. Some really neat looking baits and a pretty cool guy too. I would give them a shot if you're a glider guy.

Thorne Bros had some the last time I was there. Doesn't look like there are photos on their site though.

I picked up one of the bigger ones at thorne Bros.... It's finished with a sticker and not paint....first time I used it the sticker peeled off most of the lure.... Thorne Bros was good about exchanging for a new one. I have not tried the new one yet to see if it peels like the last one....but it is a good looking bait....

The small Mctail is plastic and painted. It's built
Really well like a tank.. So I think the quality is there. I wonder if all large ones have a sticker.
