Do any of you guys use these? When and where is best suited? Seen these on sale at Gander Mountain very reasonable I think they are like $11 huge soft plastic bait seems like it would have great movement if you jigged it or bounced it? any help here guys

I used one when they first came out a while back. They are pretty erratic and fish liked to follow it. I never caught one on it though.

Action is ok, on a very hard day I had a 50ish suck it in and spit it boat side quick as heck, so when there looking for a slower more subtle quite lure I like it. Has different uses than other rubber.

I've had same experience as Kirby mentioned. A few follows.
I find, they are actually a shallower than you would think glider type bait. soft pulls and taps- erratic gliding action.
I also add a 1 oz. weight to front eyelet and bounce off bottom like a Bondy during late fall. Nothing to show on it however.

Hmm. I was fishing mine slow at 12' and I don't fish slow often it's painful for me. My slow is still some sort of power fishing to many people. Just saying I didn't need to add weight.
