These lures look better than the real thing. The swimming action is better than any other baits I've used. The finish is tough and durable and will last forever. I have caught a few small fish with them, but attribute the lack of size to low water conditions where I live. I'm confident in these baits and look forward to using them later this year. They are more expensive, but I think the return on my investment is soon coming. I have had very large bass follow these lures back to the boat. It's only a matter of time before I boat another 10+ largemouth. Im sure it's gonna come on the Bluegill or Shad pattern bait I bought. If you're planning on investing in good quality swimbaits I recommend you take a hard look at these. You won't be sorry.
