I have had very little actionn on rubber, only got fish when hopping off the bottom in rocks. Do you guys work them with large sweeps, up/down action, short jerks, straight reeling or what?

For me... It's hard pulls with mixed in taps, jerks, tap-tap- pull. Mix it up and they will eat.
..... No wrong way but they hang and glide nice when tapped after a hard jerk.

I had good success with the Mag walleye Pro Dawg and Pounder UV Reflex Cisco. In the summer, I count the walleye down (mags sink at ~ft/sec.) at the outside of weed edges and work it back in 4-6 foot rod sweeps. I worked the cisco more in the fall, outside of bait balls. Patience is helpful and having a high gear real to pick up slack line quick is a must, if you want to miss less fish.

Same full body coil harness to keep the rubber in tact after multiple hit but we moved the weight system around. About 30% of the nose weight was moved back to give the new SuperD lures more of a glide vs that 45 degree hopping action. Found that more guys like the longer glide vs hop so we made the change mid 2013.

Not intending to create any controversy, but did moving the weight make the new SuperD's perform like a Dawg, or do they still have a unique action?

Sorry just saw this. Moving the weight back gave my SuperD lures more of a glide vs hope. I did this as about 80% of my customers wanted more of a glide vs hopping action. Our SuperD lures also run deeper for the same weighted lures with the exception of our Reg shallow SuperD. Had nothing to do with Dawgs but customer and pro feedback. Dawgs were the reason I made my SuperDs though.... 8 years ago I wanted to make a swimbait that was really tough and could boat multiple fish and still be fish-able and more affordable for my customers. I think it worked out for everyone as todays Dawgs are some of the best MI has ever made! Competition does that. Beautiful looking lures they are. If you get to the Chicago show you really need to take a look at what MI has done this year. Don't worry, SuperD lures are also looking great too

We have 14 new custom colors we brought to the Chicago show plus our new Camo-D lures for Veterans. Come check us out. We are just to the left inside the front door where you pay to get in. Can't miss all my rods sitting there... We will be at a few more shows this year too. Madison, Milwaukee, Wausau and Minneapolis.
