Any body use these? It is an interesting looking bait and no one else seems
to have anything quite like it. The search function didn't turn up much so I just
thought I'd come out and ask. Thanks, Roger.

It is a slow moving bait and kind of slithers through the water.I liked the action but I hardly ever throw them,too many other baits and the patients thing...Not as noisy as you would think,HawgWobblers make more noise but more than the jitterBug.

There are two styles. I have the one with the rotating prop. Good noise but like any jitterbug style bait you get optimum noise from one speed and rough water messes up the speed and optimum sound.

I have the non prop style and have had good success with it. A light wire leader with no swivel and a higher rod angle and you can move this lure quite fast. Great side to side wobble. The key is keeping the nose up.

I have caught quite a few fish on the jitter prop style and enjoyed using it. Like stated it is a slow, subtle bait with lots of water displacement best used under calmer conditions and excelent on high pressured waters where this slow style is not seen very often.....Doug Bradley

Cool, a local shop has one and even a few mantas I think I might have to add it
to my arsenal.
