they float ,so when you rig it with a split shot or sinker above it , it stays off the bottom.
with the Berkley power scent in it ,there are times it will limit you out FAST !
sometimes the trout hit it so hard with such commitment it surprises you .

Berkley Powerbait sold at some Wal-Mart stores.

it these parts only basspro carries them , they only stock trout in the winter here for a few months , but to be sure you want some if you fish for hatchery trout

A lot of the guys I work with go fish the stocked trout around here. It is supposed to be packed with people

Lots of colors at my local Walmart. For whatever reason the trout sure do like them and like Ketchn said they float too. I have some in my trout vest and they for sure work.

the first time I saw ever one I laughed at it under my breath .....
and that guy walked away with a limit of trout to my ONE ,just like that !
I never laughed at seeing one of them again for sure ....
looks ridiculous for sure and they seem to really like them ?

The first example is similar to Zoom Finesse Worm with its larger tail but similar action. Other flat tail lures are made by many companies with different shape bodies.

Sassy Shad body / thin tail added:


Flat tail added to a French Fry body segment:


Thin tail lure with body thickened:


All of the straight tail designs catch anything that swims.
