Well I was one of the people who got a free sample and I just spent the last two days fishing and using them a lot. I just wanted to give an opinion on them. Lets start with the head. The fulcrum keeps the head standing in most conditions. Even though the head appeared to be large it did not seem to bother the fish. After maybe three hours of fishing one shake2 head about half of the paint had worn off. The hook however was just as sharp after 20 fish as it was when I first took it our of the package. I used it with a zoom 4 inch lizard in a creek for smallmouth and with a zoom trickworm for bass in the lake. All in all I was extremely impressed and will be ordering some more. Thanks to Bobby for all his hardwork and great craftsmenship.

Autiger- Thank you for your support and the kind words. I just got a report also from Manny who ownes the Bait Barn in CA> He also siad how much he liked the Shak-E2's/ Listen we are all skeptics-I am the #1 You have to let me prove to myself that things work and work for me. I never buy stuff on line- I want to hold it -feel it make sure it is what it is. I hate getting ripped off.. Thats why I always send samples- Yes it costs me but I get it in return 10 fold. I can tell every fisherman in the world in a magazine or video how good something is but ya still have to get it in their hands to use. I truely believe with all of my heart that the shak-e2 is something very unique.The more people use it -the more they come back and tell me how well they like it. As for the paint issue-It isnt paint-its powder coated-It holds up better than paint- . I havent had it come off yet -. Let me bang it against some more rocks- take care and thanks again, Bobby@MegaStrike   SHAK-E2'S CATCH BIG FISH TOO!
