I just bought one of these, and I'm cerious to how everyone likes them. Everyone always raves about the normal, so I was wondering if anyone had any luck on these?

Is it a good bait for here in opening day in Wisconsin?

I would choose the silent version after some heavy pressure when they have seen a million lipless cranks.

I have a couple that I will throw when I'm running cranks and its a pressured pond or lake. I also use then in clear water when it's cold and they are slow and picky. The silent tends to not scare them off.

I have a couple I throw in clear water or lakes where they see lots of trap baits. Also if I'm catching lots on a trap off a certain spot and they start to slow down I'll switch to one of them and often get a few more with it.
