Super glue a cherry bomb on the tail end w/ a foot of det. cord, light fuse and cast as far as possible! Actually I think it is a cool looking bait, especially when slowly reeled on top...:O

Are that that bad ? Or have they just fallen out of favor (if they were ever in favor)

The best way to fish them is a SLOW retrieve. Slow enough so that that dorsal fin on the tail is barely breaking the surface of the water.

Burmek's get a lot of bad press because they have been known to break with little wear and tear. I have not had any problems with mine; although I replace the joint with longer/stronger eye-screws and epoxy them in.

Hope this helps

If you troll, use it, and go fast. Trust me! That's all I use mine for.
