I kinda have a love hate thing going on right now with the floater myself, when I go slow and I mean REAL slow it looks awesome. On mine the back fin and tail are totally visible and the tail kicks well enough to leave a very visible wake and it looks exactly like a trout that has been dazed and is just cruising along the top. I stop or twitch it every so often but sloooowww is the only way i can fish it.
That is the hate part, this is pretty much a deadstick or painfully slow retrieval bait, it's hard to go that slow, for me anyway. Also it seems to be best in super calm/ glass conditions, probably best at night,early morning or evening...no wind.
If I even crank it a little bit under the surface it falls to one side and stays there.No action. I think it was designed just to stay on top.....nothing more.

The ROF 12 on the other hand is a bitchen bait, it sinks but not too fast, it can be worked right under the surface or alot deeper. It runs straight no matter the speed you retrieve it at and with the double or single hook options it is very versatile.Plus with the super realistic looks...I think I've got my new confidence bait, it helps to have caught a few fishies on it also. :)
