Good info.....I remember buying the flexbait at a FHS. I paid 20 bucks for it. I couldn't believe I paid that much for a lure ....lol

And like you mentioned not much action. I threw it maybe 2 times. Now that trolling comment makes sense.
Now I'm thinking it might make a good trolling lure up in the Sierras.

Thanks
