The rats are built the same with one exception one has a knocker. Both are made out of a rare hardwood with a figurative maple bottom. Hooks are owner 2X. Even though the baits have a nice action with a slow/medium retrieve I feel the best way to use them is; Throw at cover snap the rod fast (about two to two and a half time faster than a spook). This will give the rat a fast side-to-side action while it moves forward minimally. When you get good at it the bait will not move forward at all just side-to-side. Deadstick than repeat. The best rod for fishing cover is a Loomis MBR 7’ H or the Shimano Cumara 7”2” MH Xfast. To get the rat to have the above mentioned action 30# braid is essential.
