Location: NW WI | Well for what it's worth I'm happy with my Chaos Tackle.
My Smitty Classic sees a little use, it's very subtle, too subtle maybe. But not having grapples let's u run over weed beds better. |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Can’t comment on many brands other than Lee’s flaptails. Really like the way those run. Like the other comment indicates, the nice ones do seem to be pricey. |

Location: Brighton CO. | I have a old Dick Moore's and a 5" & 7" Smity and newer Smity with hook spreaders. On the Smitty's the new ones have a medal ring on the back as a noise maker I take it off I can get the tail to do more without the ring. I run mine nice and slow so the tail does a little back and forth wobble like a spoon. (with the metal ring I can't get it to wobble)
The large sized Lee's is on my wish list. On slow days these things can bring up fish when nothing else is working. |

Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota | The big bombsquad is the only full sized flap that I’ve put time into and had some great luck with it, built like a tank too. I do have one of the small lee lures metal series ones and have moved a bunch I fish in bad conditions on it but haven’t gotten anything to commit. I don’t spend much time throwing baits that size but I know bombsquad has a small one that I’m sure would run great too. |
