In my opinion, these are a must-have for an angler pursuing game fish in heavy cover. Unlike other "weedless" lures, these perform as advertised in my experience. I purchased my first one at a local store during a vacation. I was quite pleased with its performance as the lure routinely landed painted side down on the cast, which causes it to retrieve hook up. Its concave design enables it to skim over thick beds of lily pads or weeds.

After catching several sizable large mouth bass, once a subsequent cast landed on the water's surface there was a large strike and my lure forever disappeared into the abyss. This was not the failure of the lure rather the fact I typically will fish lighter weight line to entice more bites when targeting bass. Unfortunately, that practice can leave me exposed to potential loss of lures should a northern pike hit. This appears to have been the case.

I've since bought a replacement, as well as a few different colors, and they've been performing as well as my first.

Thumbs down on this. Is not weedless and have casted it about 1000 times with absolutely no luck. Go with a spinner or jig.

Worst lure ever stays hung up do not buy this lure

Great Lure

This does a great job of floating over the weeds and has held up well. The only reason I took a star off is because it is very difficult to hook a leader on it. I have lost a lot of lures to Pike so I always use a leader now.
