Anyone have some input on these baits???

I was close to buying one earlier today, but held off....

they look nice, and the slow sink is a plus... just wonder how well they move and such?

They are pretty good baits, the Sebile has a better action.  I have three and they all seem to catch at front joint from time to time, especially on a slow retrieve but a quick jerk or speeding up break it free.  For the most part the action is really good though

It has great action. As far as the sebile being better that is a matter of opinion pertaining to what you want a bait to do. The sebile is a real tight swim and seems better suited for clear water.The SS is a lot wider more s shaped swim.

I am not a big fan of the slow sink.I would rather have a floater. This bait works well with fast retrieves when burned on the top to get a blurping sound going on. I haven't done anything with it yet trying to slow roll it and it doesn't stay down anyway.

All in all I like the bait a lot.Has a great profile.It catches dinks like crazy too. On numerous occasions me and one of my friends were burning them around schooling dinks and have had 8-9 inch fish try to choke it.So it does work.

Biggest negative is that the joints on some of them stick.You have to take an exacto knife and clean the joints out and even then you aren't guaranteed to have a perfect action.Out of the 5 or so we have used every one of them seems to be just a little different and 2 of them would not swim at all until we scraped all the paint out the the joints. It seems a little expensive to me to not be perfect out of the box :)

I have two of them, use them everyday.  Early in the morning before day break throw them out and swim it right at the surface it will look like a snake swimming on top of the water, they will hit it like a spook so when the hit comes throw the rod tip at it and then set the hook,  after the sun is up throw it out and start it back about 6-8 feet, pause then give it a jerk short pause another jerk and pause, most of the time they will hit it during the pause.  If nothing hits repeat short swim and then a jerk or two.  When you get a fish on expect to have to get both hooks out of him one in the mouth and the other out of his side or outside the jaw, and don't try to remove them with bare fingers, the fish will be hanging by your fingers, found out the hard way when the fish flounced then had to get hook out of me before I could get it out of the fish.  Since buying these last month I have won 1 1st place and 1 second place in our club tournaments.  I have caught 1 7.5lb, 2 over 6lbs, 1 5lber, and 6 over 4, not to mention a lot of dink fish, even have a picture of a little bass that hit it and wasn't as big as the bait,

have fun it is worth the 19.00 if you make money on it, LOL

and ab8aac...

you paid 19 bucks for it??

has the price dropped recently?

i just saw them at BPS for like 15, and their always overpriced >:)

I bought mine at bps and in Shreveport, La it was 19.00 but they may have dropped the price, wouldn't surprise me any, everytime I buy something the price goes down the next day or two.  I still like them no matter what the price, even if it goes up if I lose one I will replace it.
