JC is right. It's more of a reaction bait. You wanna put it right in their face. The bait itslef doesn't have a lot of action. Kinda like a tube. Throw a tube in the water and watch it close. The tail doesn't dance all over the place like you think it would. The profile of the reaper with the thin tail and smooth head enable you to get it those tight places. And it is a bigger meal then a skinny worm. The bait can represent whatever the bass are feeding on. The color determines wheather it represents a craw or a baitfish.
