Just another bulldawg knock-off. I bought a couple from gander a year or two back. They do have good action and the rubber is pretty tough as well. I've only seen them in regular dawg size though which I do not throw very often.

To be perfectly honest. I tried one because I liked the smaller size. First cast over open water, I caught a 23-24" musky....great right? Not so much, the split rings partially opened up on both trebles.....havent used it since because I personally don't trust the components or internal harness.

I replaced the split rings and hooks. hope the harness holds up when i do get a fish to eat it.

Has been testing them with a friend this June, and we where not impressed. My fishing pal used them on one of our sorties, and he did not seem to be able to catch on them, weather I was regularly pulling pikes during the day using SuperD's and Sue's.

This incident had off course nothing to do with the baits ability to catch fish, but on this particularly day, the heavier regularD's where more affective.

The surface finish seems to peal of as well after a few casts, with also speaks against buying it.

Summary!

1. To light for it's size, unless u want a shallow
2. Bad quality coloration
3. Apparently bad split rings and hooks

Thanks guys used it a few times now have had any of the finish come off yet. i put a small egg sinker in one of the hooks to help it run alil deeper that seem to make a differance and not effect the action to much.
