HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA wow am i the only one who fell into this? lol.well let me tell you,NO!! ive made at least 100 casts with this thing in areas that i regularly catch bass in atleast 1 every 10 minutes.and you wanna know what ive caught??? NOTHING. they are very cheaply made.if i were to rate the action from 1 to 10(1 being"is that a stick in the water?" and 10 being "is that my lure or a real fish?")it would be a solid 2.5 .lol. tight lines!!
