I keep seeing the bigfoot depthraiders on clearance and on the buy/sell/trade board. I can't help but think that a guy could saw off the back two-thirds of the bait and make it a squirrelly crank. Anyone ever try that? The only problem I see is that the second hook hanger is quite a ways back from the front one.

The advice I got DIRECTLY from a Bucher Rep/ Salesman was to hang them on the wall as a decoration or throw them in the trash. He said quality control was not there, with many bait failures, said they could not continue to put their name on such and inferior product. He said he would not even recommend fishing with them.

Mine sit in a box in the garage. Never ran very well anyway. Live and learn...
