Question for the Top Water Fans

Being a big topwater fan and always looking for new product has anyone here used ChaseBaits "The Smuggler"? If so what is your most productive way of working it and your opinion on its action that makes it different.

    I haven't tried one, so this is only conjecture on my part.  The action is very similar to a Crazy Crawler, so I assume similar retrieves would be productive.  The only thing I might do differently is pause it  longer.  As for actual retrieve speed, I'd start slow with frequent pauses and increase rather than fast to slow. A bird struggling in the water doesn't move very fast and that's what The Smuggler is designed to imitate.

    I believe the bone color topwater Livesay was using was a saltwater Super Spook.
