I dont know about that one Mike...with that much action coming from the plastic- they probably wouldnt last very long since the plastic must be very soft. And what purpose would the blade on the front serve? The weight being that far up would supercede any action gained from that blade IMHO... maybe Im wrapped around the axle on this one... but I just dont see a good application for bay fishing. Sorry to be a nay-sayer. Let me know if you order any, and let me know your opinion after getting it into your hands.

I'll let you try them out Mike. I just dont think that the plastics will hold up (unless this is some new ultra flexible, super strong polymer, and I dont understand the purpose of the blade on the head.... seems like its unnecessary. And for that matter, I can take a BA and a cannonball head jig, and I get really good action similar to what you would get with that thing vertical jigging... Im not saying that its not pretty... im just not sold.

I bet they would work, for one fish..then you would have to put another $5 lure on the hook!!! Mike, when you order them, let me and Tim know and we'll come out there and we'll use them on Tog or whatever!!! We just want to use your lures!

You guys are just ball breakin for breakin's sake you lummoxes !:yes: You know that thang has some great action . Will I buy it ? Hell no ! I thought it looked very cool in the water though . George from Specialized Baits makes a bucktail with a long trailing feather , forget what kind , but it has almost the same action with no plastic ! It's not on his web site but if you would like to see it , I've got a few . I'll let you rent one for tog fishing:yes::D While you're dangling and I'm angling , we'll see who puts dinner in the box !:yes::D
