     I have been looking at buying one of these lures. I was curious to know if anyone has used them before and what were your thoughts about the lure? Also, what color did you find most effective? Thanks for any help.

Looks the same as any other Spook Knock off, I would save a few bucks (and shipping) and try the Heddon Spook from your local Walmart.

And I disagree 100%.  The rover does things that no other topwater will do effectively.  One of the big things that it will do is make 90-180 degree turns and cover large amounts of water, without moving forward.  The 128 is better than the 95, but not by a whole lot.  The Pro-Tuned rover, as much as I'm not a Scott Martin fan, is probably one of the single best walking baits ever made.  It sits lower in the water and moves more water than other baits.  It's much easier to walk consistently, and it has a tremendous ability to move 18-24 inches to the side with moving only an inch or two forward.  You can walk this bait three feet, but move it only 5-6 inches forward on the cast.

At the same time you can really speed it up and get it to cover a lot of water in a hurry.

Definitely not another spook knockoff, it's improved and tuned to do what the spook previously could not.

Glad to hear Hooligan, I grabbed a couple of these at the last BTD sale and am really excited to use them this year. I went with the 128.

The whole thing with the 128 is figuring out the cadence that works beat with your setup. You can work it several ways, but matching the length of your rod twitches to the speed of your rod is kind of key. When you get that figured out, you're golden.

The rover is definetly a great bait. It walks great and doesn't move forward to much. If you take the split ring off and tie direct it has a much more aggressive movements
