Haha my Grandma is awesome she knows im into fishing alot and shes getting older but i love her ..anyway she bout me  a couple of lures made by a brand named motto i belive haha but that have a pull cord that makes the tail go back and forth on the top of the water anyone hear of  these working at all?

chuck woolery advertises those.

My Mom got those for me a few years ago.  The minnow looks pretty darn cool on top.  Didn't care much for the frog.  But to be honest I haven't really fished them.  Just took them out during January to check out the action.  I'll have to try them again this spring.  They do have sharp hooks on em.
