i liked the old sharp-nosed 8"er, got a few fish on it. The line is discontinued, and beware, the baits werent all that consistent. ie. I have one that runs like a champ, have had 4 that dont do jack.
Just my experiencessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

bought 2 8 " a long time ago and they both were brutal. The placement of the front eye seems odd.

the 6" sharpnosed one, alas I only have two and one that works. From the current range of cobb's lures, I like the 6" roundnosed countdown and the 6" (yes, I measured it) crazy shad.

Jack Cobb is a friend of mine and the baits he is making now are very good and very consistent. Each bait is weighted to sink at a prescribed rate. You won't go wrong by getting some of them.

I have a sharp nose, it works good but I really like the action of the crazy shad.

I really love both the 8"round nose & the sharp nose crazy glider.The round nose works a little deeper for me. But as msmith & other s mentioned since the past 3 years or so every bait runs GOOD! But before not all did. For the money they are affordable, big heavy duty tough tools for the job.

I like the 8" roundnose in all yellow. I appropriately named it "corn on the cobb" The action is quite a-maize-ing.

esoxmaximas, the sharpnosed one is a floating, diving glider. It dives left and right when you twitch it or fish it with short pulls. It's not the shad glider (that's a crazy shad). the sharpnosed was made in the late nineties.

Thanks Divani for the correction. IS the line tie on the sharp nose on top about 1/2 inch above the point that forms the nose? I have a 6 inch one that I bought off Jack seems like it was around 1991 or so. I am trying to get it though my thick skull to learn to use my lightewr tackle for some of these lighter musky baits. I have got away from using smaller baits & feel like it is costing me fish.

yes, that's the one. I'm still looking for some of those, without much luck though ... Great for our shallow waters ... Just use 6", subtle twitches or pulls of 5-6" long to make it dive and glide at the same time. It stays up really shallow but it has a great glide and wobble

If I had to get just one. I'd make it a 8" Countdown Crazy Shad.
Probably the most consistent runner that he makes in my opinion.
