Purchased this lure and owned it for 4 hours. It casts a mile and that's a good thing when you fish from the bank in the Winter. You need to get it out to where the fish are. Now the bad. As suspected for the first 50 years of my fishing life, there's a reason I never owned one of these. I always feared a lipless bait was ripe for getting hung up and, that it would be easy to lose. That's exactly what happened a few hours in today! So, there are a few retrievals that are used. Yo-yoing is one of them. Well, 6 hooks sinking and being the first to contact anything on the bottom makes for a short day. I guess these are another "boat bait" to be used in 10-40 feet of water, void of any structure. If you are a bank fisherman, I don't recommend this lure/tactic. Expect to lose this lure quickly if you do. Not a good purchase. :(
