I have it, never touched the water. I got several colors but they are part of my collection.

I bet thouse would be good right before the sun goes complety down

Reminds me of the Parabug by megabass which set me back $16 for 3 baits that were pvc with same concept. I have always believed that the Insect lures are effective at the right times, and the Parabug was great, only much smaller than I thought and the crappie ripped them up both times I threw it but it was a good idea, and this looks like a weedless crazy crawler which is cool....The RIver2Sea Dragon Fly is a lure I am dying to try, I had a good day with the soft dragon flies on a split shot rig when they were all over the lily pads and most of the fish were on the smaller size, but I am trying to find more lures that are like the Dragonfly,Hellgramite, Beetle, Waterdog, and other seasonal options like the mayfly. I have seen Fly Fisherman put on a clinic during a mayfly hatch and they were catching 5-6lb bass on tiny mayflies, problem is small hooks with our gear and then cover...Looks like a cool lure, not sure how good the hook up percentage wood be, it looks like the weedless Jitterbugs, and those hooks look small. Also, I would be afraid of the sides breaking, in Japan they use these lures on 2-4lb test alot of times and in open water....Not meant to be  in tough spots, but I don't know the intent behind this lure, just thinking out loud. If its $20, I would be araid to take the chance and grab myself a Skimmer, and use the last $5 toward on a hollow frog which you could adjust to mimic a beetle.

They're very similar to the siglett-  a sexy looking and well thought out version of a jitterbug.  It's worth mentioning that there are cheaper alternatives that do about the same thing...  But who cares I guess?  It's Megabass and it's gorgeous.  If you're looking for a sexy jitterbug buy one.

The River2sea dragon fly is a killer but hard to cast, and it will sound funny but it glides so well it is almost flies. The bait has a clear plastic bib like a jitter bug and it has a similar action but the wings hitting the water every time it moves back and forth make it look like a dragon fly that fell in. It only has a size #10 Daiichi death trap treble but the fish get stuck on it, I lost very few fish because they usually eat the thing, some ultra vicious strikes occur when using it but still very hard to cast.

There´s an even sexier looking version of the Jitterbug:
