I've had 9 hits and landed 1 bass on them. It's hard to find a rod that can cast them well and still get the massive hook to sink in. My swimbait rod doesn't cast them well and my flippin stick isn't strong enough. I've tried them on a friends frog rod and that's how I got the 1, but even then I lost 2. If they ever come out with a "fine wire" hook version I'll buy it, but until then I've hung it up.
Tight lines,
Wade
