While I do not own any I have never heard one peep of negative info on those lures. All positive and he catches a lot of fish with them too and so do his clients from what I hear.

I broke down and started throwing it again this past trip. I love that fool thing again. I popped two fish on it, one at 48"

Haven't thrown the mag, just the reg size. I really like it's hooking capabilities. The fish may aim for the "head" of the bait only to bite down on the bucktail/marabou tail section... which is all hook. It also makes a great figure 8 bait with the hair/marabou body. The sound on the regular size is a little softer than most traditional prop baits, so I think there are certain situations where a louder bait may shine more... The hooking percentage is great on the bait. I may be phasing out my older prop style baits for these.

by far my favorite topwater bait. With a little extra prop "adjusting"I get a pretty loud plop. This bait also has a great hooking ability. I do make one more modification though, I take the first hook and use a zip tie to make sure it lays in line with the maribou and the last hook. I feel that the lure not only runs better, but more importantly, adds to more hook ups.
