I really like them. I use them on Reelfoot Lake In north west Tn. Like any bait they have times they just don't hit them. I fished everyday last week and never got hit on a nibble and they tore the minnows up. I fished days that nibbles was all they would hit. One thing to do is to open the jar up and lay several out in the lid and let them dry out a little bit, they will stay on longer if you do that. I hope that helps, Lynn
