Location: Mt. Zion, IL | How many of you fish them and how well do you like them? I have heard from a few guys that they roll when fished at any pace and others swear by them. Would you suggest sticking with the regular topraiders or should I buy a Super? |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | In my experience and from what i've heard from people the regular topraiders are the standby. There are a few small functional problems with supers IMO, but it also seems in my neck of the woods the fish like to chew on the regulars more than the supers anyway, so regulars get the nod from me. And they're cheaper! |

| I find that with each of them, the internal weight often comes loose and renders the bait useless...I know I could drill it and drop some superglue into it and that that may fix it but frankly, I want to buy baits that I don't have to home repair very often. Try a Rumbler, it seems to be much better built. |

Useless????? I hardly think so. The bait still works and the body rotates. So what...like sworrall would say, you're giving the fish way too much credit for being smart. They will hit the bait with the body rotating. If they knew enough not to hit it, then they also know enough not to hit it when the bait doesn't roll. |

Location: Beaver County, Pennsylvania | keep in mind, most baits are made to appeal to the fisherman, not the fish. not to discredit any awesome paint jobs and what not but all black is one of the most productive colors there is. |

Location: Long Prairie, Minnesota | Got rid of mine. Didn't like them as well as the regular TR's, so I sold mine. If I want to go to a double prop, I will throw my Twin Teasertail, as I have had much better luck with that bait. |

| I'm not at all fond of the rumbler for some reason, I've never been able to get one to run "right". I've had four or five, One that sat so low in the water, you'd almost think it was sinking.
That said, I'm not fond of the super TR. It is an ok bait, but I much prefer the Double-Tail Stomper. I've yet to have a problem with one. |

Location: Central WI | I bought a super topraider last year and only used it a few times and sold it. I was hoping it would make a little more chop than it did. I didnt have any mechanical issues with it....then again I didnt use it a whole lot. I still love the regular topraider though.....probably my favorite prop bait. |

Location: Neenah, WI | Try the super TR's when there is alot of chop on the water and use the tr's in most other applications. They are both good tools and each one has it's place.

| Ryan,
Personally, I think for the waters we fish there is no need for a STR. Take that money and buy Amy a steak dinner... lmao! |

Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | I will always have a place in my boat for Super TR. I use mine under two circumstances. Like Saint listed above in a bigger chop. Three years ago a big chop caused me to change from a regular to a super and about 20 casts later I had a 51.5 in the Frabill.
I also like them a bit better when it is raining out. Don't ask me why, but I know I am not the only one that has noticed this.
