Those baits get horrible reviews, but I like them.

Their quality control doesn't seem to be the best. The first one I had was great and would swim perfectly from a burn to as slow as you could crank it. This one literally didn't swim at all out the package, but I pulled all the pins and cut and widened all the cavities where the loop things fit in so it would be able to swing wider. I also had to mess around with hook combinations to find some that worked, but now it's fixed to where it'll catch some fish.

I too had one that wouldn't swim. I bought it from Tackle Warehouse. Called them about it, and they sent me a new one and never asked for the bad one back. Now I have parts. :LOL2:

Dang it!

I caught several on a swimbait this weekend and forgot all about this contest. I even caught a crappie on it on Saturday. :lol:

Nowhere near any plaid
Whoda thunk Popeye could get an entry in a swimbait contest?
