Lunk

So, walking through my local Dunham's this strange soft plastic catches my eye. It's on sale for $1.99 and it was in a Gary Yamamoto package so I was pretty well set on buying it. Doing some looking online and searching this forum I haven't seen it mentioned much. It's a Yamamoto Hula Swimmer in that black and green color. Now, I imagine it's intended use would be texas rigged and worked like a swim bait? I also plan on cutting off the paddle tail and throw in a nail weight for an awesome octopus neko rig. With its black and green presentation I imagine it would be best in stained water? Has anyone fished something similar? How do you rig yours and what is your favorite way to work the bait? My first Yamamoto bait didn't break the bank!
