Are these any good for bass fishing ? Has anyone ever used them? I'm thinking about putting a small paddle tail or grub on the back.

Used them for walleye, they excel at a slow troll bottom bounce technic, might work for Bass.

Several years back, the Erie Dearie was a very popular trolling lure for walleyes on Lake Erie.

I'm not aware of anyone using them for bass, but I'm sure they'd work (nothing a bass won't hit).

I've used them for walleye before just wondering about bass. Especially deep I want to try and target some big girls deep, and I have a ton of these things and had an idea.

They still get used but they tip them with nightcrawlers.

I've only used them for walleye.

I use these a bunch for walleye. They got bought out by another company a few years ago and have been discontinued. I have since been buying them up whenever I find ones that I like for sale online. I can't imagine that a bass wouldn't hit one though. 

What makes you think the big bass are deep?

A little tip…back at the ramp, complain out loud near walleye guys about catching bass. Look for sympathy. They will commiserate in your misfortune and probably give up a couple deep bass locations. Otherwise, that's a tight lipped crowd.

I know some are shallow but I also know some are down in the deps lurking. Good idea with that complaing.

Define deep.
