I'm looking for some feedback on the 9" squirrely jake. I've used shallow invaders a lot, but want an alternative, also with a rubber tail. Adding a teaser tail is an option to a 9" jake or grandma , but usually leads to a loss of action.

Thanks ahead of time.

Not exactly the feedback your asking for, but the 6" inch model has put many big pike in my boat in the spring. Kdawg

Cranky Nitro Halftail is awesome. Paddle Tail gives it a more subtle action. Nuch is also pretty good.

+1 for the Cranky Nitro Halftail. Good profile and action, great drawing power, easy to retrieve all day. I reach for the shallow one most often.

Thanks guys. I have a few H20 baits and didn't remember the halftail.
