Anyone used these this year? They look terrific, but I'm wondering about the durability of the tails, how tough is the rubber?
Thanks!

I pitched one for several days last year on a semi-clear, fairly deep lake in Vilas Co. Had no bites on it, so I can't comment on its durability if you're asking about it withstanding teeth.
It becomes a good load to throw after you have pitched it for hours. With the tails extended & wiggling, its as long as a magnum dawg. Sinks faster than a dawg.
The tails held up fine to: pitch, sink, & ripping it upwards.

I think it has great action, especially on the drop. A good deep water bait.

They are a good lure but, they get tore up just like any other plastic I bought some mend-it and problem solved they work well together. Dave

In my opinion they are the finest plastics on the market. The jig and hook components are super strong..... No weak points on this bait.
Musky teeth will rip up plastics, it happens, i glue
