Any comments on their effectivness? I saw a 6" weighted in action and liked what I saw - very bouyant.

What is the best way to fish these?

 Are they in the same class or category as a Suick?

Run the non weighted backwards, great top water baits, No BS

I picked up one of these at the swap meet for $5 and this bait has become one of my "go to" baits recently...I have had success working it both fast like a suick/ glide bait and slower like a twitch bait. It has been most effective up shallow and over emergent vegetation, although I did have a real nice fish take a swipe at it in about 15 ft of water. Really cool lure!

Also a great trolling bait when fish are suspended higher in the water column.

great lures, I have sold off all my other dive and rise baits down to two different makes, and these are one of them. Great lures and you can fish them pretty hard without worry of them washing out or being finicky
