Location: MN | I haven't seen a lot of feedback on this bait overall. It's inexpensive compared to other baits of this size profile and appears to be built to take a beating. I have a couple that have seen a few hours trolling time without any rips - not really enough time to get a good evaluation, but also no real sign muskies want to eat them. Now as the herd is getting culled in the offseason I'm wondering if they still have a place in the tackle box.
Has anyone caught a muskie on one?
Anyone prefer them over other large trolling baits?
Any hooking % issues with the two hook arrangement?

| lil to no action at 3 mph,big deception because they look nice.only the shape can be compared to a rapala ssrap.i think the lack of action could be caused by the big ole in the lips near the eye screw |

Location: Land of the Musky | Lack of action? These are 11" and have more side-side action & wobble than a 9" Grandma... (*and I do like Grandma baits...)
Well here are some videos. Now these are not like my Grunts with the 32" wide wobble but there is a lot of action for a big bait here.

That video shows the twitching version - I have the deeper diving version. It never struck me as having no action, but again, no bites.
supertrollr, do you remember what version you were using?

Location: SE, WI. | Nar, bought one at the show last winter. The big time sound coming from this lure was my attraction. The bite was HOT this fall so I strapped one on for a couple spots, But , zero action....NO hits. So quickly took it off. SO! Can't say I gave it a fair shake. IMO, I thought it pulled hard. Kind of dead action for the amount of drag it created. IT probably displaces some good water though JD |
