I have cast them before when the fishing was slow and caught a few usually just outside of the light zone or glow. One trip the biggest fish that we caught were on road runners and small crankbaits with a split shot out front.(usually use minnows) It never hurts to try and I usually try to think of something weird to throw each trip sometimes you get a suprise. Remember though to fish with what is working, I have a problem of after going through every bait in the boat to find what they want when I get on fish to change back to what I want to fish with.
