Anyone regularly use these and find any more effective than regular double bladed bucktails?

For instance any experience with 10 12 off sets.

I was thinking about buying one. At times of the year when fishing bucktails, I would be fishing areas where fish see some musky lures but aren’t crazy pressured.

Hard to determine if 1 or the other is more effective but something they haven't seen or felt before could generate more interest than the last few dozen bucktails that have gone by lately. Since I make my own, I've been mixing blade sizes & styles. More options when looking for a pattern the better.

All I fish are the Spankys with the different sized blades. 89 and the 109 Firebombs are awesome.

Yes, I think they work better most of the time. They give off more vibration and for a while it was something new. Now everyone throws them so it's not really new anymore. But they definitely work well.

A few years ago a staggered 8/9 was getting crushed. Last year it was a double 10. I think a different vibration works, so throw what others aren't throwing.

i was throwing them in 19-20' and they did good, but i feel like they really got popular and the fish got used to them, i only have no real evidence but it seems to me that one is better off to throw what no one else is throwing, i just seem to have better luck that way, but of course, it could just be putting a bait in front of a fish that is hungry at that particular time.

I'll pretty much echo what others have said. I threw 10/9 combos a lot when they came out, had success, not as sexy/effective year 2,3,4, after everyone threw them. Still good baits to have in a rotation.

I've had a longer window of confidence with the 7/9 Trigger since they came out. Quite a few (4?) seasons now and they still seem to have "it".
