Whats up? I use them a lot. Very productive bait on the rivers around here. They run at any depth, just count them down. I usually use them as a casting bait, but I know that up on the larry they troll them.

It's almost that time. I figure 2, 3 weeks max and I'll be thrashing some water around out in Ohio.

I had one for several years and threw it several times. Can't say one thing positive about the bait. I would not mess with another one. Found that casting it led to many foulings of its own hooks. I would pretty much put it on my crappy bait list.

The Radtke baits are pretty average. I wasn't impressed with the two I bought. I would have to say they are best in the spring because of their small profile. I also agree that they do seem to get fouled on there own hooks often. I now usually use the baits for trolling because you can troll them at a pretty fast clip.
