I’m sold on em. If you super glue them the night before they just don’t tear up.

Last night I was hammering them on the Slider 1" grub and Sho-Me Baits 1.5" Itty Bitty. I threw the Mule Horsefly in the ranch hand color and could not get a fish.

How were you working it Pesh? I’m also wondering what color your water is. Mine looks like light coffee of maybe dark iced tea, tannic stained. That might account for some of my success. I work mine super slow, leaving it sit on the bottom for a few seconds at a time. Hope this helps some. My friend NiNo says they should be illegal.
