I'm pretty hard on companies that copy a bait and market it as something different or even original.  In this case I found one I like better. 

 

 

The Gobius from Z-man has been great for me this year. It doesn't snag as easily as the Dark Sleeper. It holds up just as well, if not better. The only downside is the hook is better on the Dark Sleeper. It just does a better job of sticking fish but overall,  I think the Gobius will be my new go to for this kind of bait.

 

 

Yeah I threw my gobious the other day it seemed to do good on snags, hook is a thinner wire than the dark sleeper. It helps to get it back when hung, a pike stole my 3/8 one though. Oh well that’s fishing, if you are afraid to loose lures or terminal you are leaving fish behind.
