Have you guys ever seen or tried this bait? It's about 8" in length and the paint job is pretty crappy. I thought it might have a pretty good action because it is double jointed. It was only $18, so I said what the heck. I tossed it and it swam pretty good. I didn't catch anything though. It dives about 5ft. I just wanted to know if anyone has had luck on this bait.

I'd stay away. Braid is infamous for churning out low quality knockoffs...

I saw those awhile ago too and bought one. I like the action but did'nt like all the rattles inside. I trolled it some and only seriously fished it a couple times, the eyelets and overall construction was a little to weak for striper fishing. Never got a bite...

Yeah the action is pretty good but the rattles are a problem. The paint on them is pretty cheap too. I threw mine for about 30 minutes straight and the paint is already chipping off. Oh well, another product that caught the fisherman and not the fish. x(
