I bought one in each of the original four colors. Gave them several honest tries. Not impressed at all. I will say they had a good "thump" to them. If I remember correctly, only two of the colors had rattles.

I have never used one. My friend did say they skip like a dream, so maybe there would be a time and place for that.

 

Fish get a lot more pressure these days and it continues to increase with the popularity of angling and the influence of social media on angling. Fishing is "cool" now. With that being said, sometimes dumb stuff can work, because it is something that the bass haven't seen.

 

I still don't plan on trying a knuckle bait.
