Anyone use them. I hear they are all hand made. Thoughts?

I used their Top Cat, which is a walk the dog surface bait one year. It isn't heavy, and doesn't sit low in the water like a lot of the popular baits do these days, but I caught fish on it. It also only has two hooks, but I only remember missing one fish with it that actually hit the bait, and that was 100% my fault.

Has a decent side to side, and if you pop it right will make some big bubbles with a "bloop, bloop, bloop" sound. Seem to be pretty good quality baits that catch fish.

I have a few twitch darters which have all caught fish. I also have a rubber tailed reef digger that looks very tasty , but hasn't gotten alot of time in the water. both baits troll well. Big Fork also seems to stand up for their products, I had a problem with a broken screw eye and they sent me a new one no questions asked. Don't grt me wrong though they are built well.

I've seen a Sand Cat in the water. Not real sure what the intended action is on that bait...

love big forks! especially the deep pulsator, very comparible to a grandma, but in my eyes, better! only downfall is they dont take a beating like a plastic bait, but, if they catch fish, whats a few bucks to buy a couple more? they work.
walleye pattern all the way!

They are well-made baits for sure. I throw the jointed ones a fair amount and have had successs with them. I haven't tried the new big one.
They are beautifully made.

Sand Cats are great baits.
