I have been using these lures for over 5yrs now and I have caught just about every species of fish that's in Lake Erie on these lures. I would highly recommend these lures to anyone that's serious about walleye fishing. I saw that someone had mentioned the back hooks pulling out of the lures. I have never experienced this and I have caught walleyes in the 12lb. Range and also lakers that have been 20+ lbs and never had a fish pull the hooks out of the lure.

I have run a shad style from a competitor for years. When these came out, I gave them a try, and they flat- out caught fish. They come out of the box tuned and run straight. They come in a good selection of colors, and the paint holds up after catching many fish. But what's best about these lures is no more bent or broken hooks. The strength and sharpness of the hooks are impressive. I one hundred percent recommend these!
