Any preferences? Which is your favorite, why? I currently only have a few Jackpots and was wondering if there were differences between the others. I can definitely work the Jpot fast and I think it’s the lightest of the 3. Do any swing wider than the rest?

I'd say Vipers and Weagles run lower and push water, where a JackPot jumps more.
I like Doc's, the lg. version, cuz they glide wide for me, and go "clunk".

Is the Weagle made of wood or plastic?

I am pretty sure they are still wood. They were a few yrs ago.

weagle has great hook up percentage, but I have such good luck on the small viper softy in spring I still use it a ton, seems to draw aggressive strike when nothing else does. But I must add I miss a few fish here and there on the small viper softy, it helps greatly to work it pretty slow set the hook down to the side. I can get wider walks with the viper if the water is really calm, weagle is much better in the chop. I don't use the jackpot at all anymore, too many blow ups with not many hookups.
Short answer, both the weagle and the viper have a place in my boat.
