any one ever fished it and if so what you think about it? and what are you using to fish it? rod, reel and line?

I have a Mann's saltwater version of a wake bait.  I have thrown it 3 or 4 times but have only caught one fish on it so far.  I only dives about 1 to 2 inches deep a creates a nice wake.  It is a little too big and heavy in my opinion but only $6 bucks versus the Lucky Craft version for $15.

I use the King Shad with the lip.  It's a good bait. I've been lucky in that I bought them when they first came out but haven't broken one, yet. The painted baits chipped easily. Otherwise, they have a good action and I like them a lot. I fish mine on a medium heavy bait caster. I have a couple of MH All Star American Classic spinnerbait rods that have a little bit of a delayed action. These handle King Shads very well.
