Guess the idea behind this bait is to just target slop and mats, the reasoning for it not having traditional skirted legs.I've read it doesn't walk the dog very well...which is ok for me...anyone have any success with it??

Heavy slop/mats like you said,with no string legs for short strikers in open pockets! This was made for heavy tackle and big bass! Mixed reviews,but have some great feedback when crawled over heavy mats and pitched waay under tree-lined shores.
