Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | Awsome twitcher, great wobble. I don't use the huge ones. The nice thing is that they're constructed to last forever. Definately worth the money. |

Location: Racine, Wi | I was throwing an MRG custom painted on on Sat for the 1st time, and scored a fish within a half hour. They twitch great, but seem to have a very tight wobble to them. The work great for ripping, and letting suspend. Good post cold front, and fall bait. (probably spring too, but I haven't thrown them in the spring yet. |

| Hello Raider,
I have been throwing Molly baits for the past two years. Like Tuffy said, they are a very good twitch bait. Work them slowly though, if worked too hard/fast, they have a tendency to blow out of the water. I work mine by the following method: Cast it out, give the reel a few steady cranks to start the bait to dive, then twitch with long pulls, and let the bait recover a second or two, then repeat all the way back to the boat. Good luck to ya! |

| Tried slow trolling one this year, and managed a fat mid 40" after dark. Good baits.

| not in my top 5 twitch baits....but do have a "different" action - not a confidence bait for me - just love 10" jakes I guess |

| too tight a swim for me, they advertise a large "belly roll or flash" but I don't see it. the shallowraider has a much better action IMO. ManitouDan |

| I notice you really have to snap it hard to get it twisted out of shape but I think it is pretty viable in KY waters. Better than the shallow raider has been for me. I think it will get some major time this fall in my boat. Better than jerking that 10" Jake.

| It is a nice twitch bait, and it trolls pretty well too. I like my Big Game twitch baits best along with Jakes and Grandmas. The large Molly has a huge profile and distinctive action though, and sometimes that's the ticket  |

| Just one more comment on the Molly baits. They have performed the best for me under cooler water (less than 60 degrees) conditions. Last fall I moved more fish on the 10" Molly than any other bait I threw. Like any other bait in your box, it is another tool to use.

| MD you can't prove it to me until you show up down here. It woulda been a good test day today, they were moving. I only switched baits one time...never put the molly on. |
