I picked up a couple of these silly looking things.  Gonna try them where I fish frogs.  They do run real nice in the water and seem to be sealed enough that they don't take in any water.  Hooks are nice.   Not sure how long the tail will last.

Looks GREAT to me!

;D ;D ;D

There's a couple of guys making furry rats...for big bass baits...Hope you catch some nice fish with those..

RedlineRobert posted a picture of them not too long ago that made me order one. They look great in the water. The one I have gets water in it every now and then. Still a nice bait 

Those things are great. They cast very far and walk great! I've caught a number of fish on them this year but they are not good around moss.  The little blades get clogged up.  Through them around some pads or lay downs though and you'll do good.
