| Anyone throw the revolution this weekend? If so, I am curious to hear what everyone thought about it. I threw the #9 for a while this weekend and had problems keeping if above the weeds early in my retrieve.. wasn't impressed |

| Threw a #7 and #11 last night. I had a fish up on my first ever cast w/ the #7.
They spin immediately, work through weeds w/o skipping a beat, and are awesome in the 8.
I was throwing over weeds that topped out 1-2' below the surface. I was very impressed. |

Location: Elk River, MN | Without modifications they run low when retrieved slow, which actually produced probably 80% of the follows we had. Had one follow in on my first cast with it as well. They'll be great for burning as well as slow rolling edges. |

Location: Southwest PA | Had one follow in a VERY pressure area of water. Everyone around me looked intrigued and I'm guessing it was new to the fish so it wanted a better look. As was stated before, they spin effortlessly and pull harder than heck but I believe they are going to SHINE slow rolling edges. I'm pretty darned impressed with the lure. |

| You bend it up to keep her in the water. |

| Threw a 7 and 11 and liked them alot. Yes, the blades do spin effortlessly and I thought the 11 pulled in pretty easy. Going to be a great bait this year. Wish they would make a revo with a big profile. I miss being able to buy there window maker tails, great baits with the larger profile. |

| Good to know that modifications can be made. I was throwing it quite a bit deeper today working the weed edge and raised a fish with it, so I think I spoke too soon haha. My #7 also came in today and I liked that much better for burning |

Location: Walker, MN | I wasn't expecting to be too impressed, but I was. Next I need a big fish or two to be impressed. These will be great for newbies, it's almost impossible to kill the blades in the 8. Heck, they keep spinning when you take them out of the water.
I would also like to see a bigger/longer profile. |

Location: US | I threw on an 11(ish) I made myself with laser cut blanks the first night out for the year. Things were slow so i thought I'd see how it worked. First cast and I was paying more attention to how the bait worked than anything and a low 40's came in hot. We went around in the 8 a couple of times before she missed. I'll be using them a lot this year. |

| They are small and pull like a big profile bucktail....I'd rather just throw the big profile bait, and spend 10 bucks less on it.
For newbies it is probably a good idea, kind of like putting training wheels on a bucktail.

| I threw a #9 for a while. It does run deeper which is a plus where I fish. I had 3 sub 30 inchers follow, I didn't let the little guys eat. My fishing buddy was throwing a similar profile traditional bucktail with the same results. |

Location: Duluth, MN | I was throwing a #9 last night with my low speed Revo Beast and it comes in pretty easy. Definitely runs deep. I think i'll try the bending mod as the weeds here don't grow deeper than 5-6 feet so i need to stay closer to the top. Lost one on a #7 the other day. I think i'll stick with the 9 for the double hooks and the beast handles it fine. I also bought some Mogambo tails to give it a bigger profile. |

| Caught a 30.5" Sat on a #7 First fish I had up on it had to cut all 3 hooks to get it out. I was throwing it on a 7.1:1 seems like I could keep it running about 2 ft or a little deeper. I really like the way they run and how easy they spin |
