Oh yeah...I was skeptical at first too. Bought a pack and though man these are really big. So I got some of the smaller 1.5 in ones and did not have much luck. I was out fishing standing timber one day and ran out of minners and so I put one of the 2" on to see what would happen and bam! 15" right off the bat. Never stopped using them since..I primarily use them when dippin trees and the pumpkin and chart has been the best color for me but also the blk/chart and blk/pink have worked well.
