I have the 6" crankbait one.. never really gave it a shot this year..but someone in my boat tried it out and within ten minutes had a nice mid fourties fish chasing it through a fig 8... fish never grabbed it but I took the action as a good sign..

I've got one, but haven't fished it yet. My buddy was using one up at Cass this fall. Great, realistic action in the water, but within a couple hours of use... almost all the paint flaked off the plastic body. Didn't kill the action, but it would have been nice to keep some of the original color of the bait. Maybe it was just a lemon? I'll still give mine a shot before the year is over.

Buddy of mine fishes them for bass and has done very well, same story though, paint comes off of them very easily.

With one weekand outing on all sizes of these baits, liking the 10" myself, 2 fish landed and several followers. The only real problem for me was the weighting(they float to high) but once I figured that out they are awesome. As far as the finish coming off, its rubber, and has`nt seemed to make any difference for me! As long as that tail pounds you are in business!

They are Painted?? I'll admit I took a can of mister twister paint to mine, but otherwise mine and the other two I bought as gifts don't appear to have any paint on them, they seemed like most grubs and worms are colored... Gonna have to look at more closely now.. As to how to work them.. The kid that borrowed mine just did a straight retrieve when he got the follow..
