Might be fine without that rotating hook system.  I may have to try it out if they ever decide to offer colors worth having.

I just got 2 in yesterday, I threw it for a handful of cast it just wasn't a day where I could get a bite on deep diving cranks. It sinks app 1 foot  per second. I plan on fishing it hard the next few weeks to see if it deserves a place in my tackle box but I think this bait has a lot of potential. So far it looks like they only have 3 colors, hopefully they will add more as time goes on.

It's a cool idea, but there is one big problem.

That thing is gonna hang up on every piece of wood on the bottom of the lake.  I thought one of the great things about cranks was banging into cover or structure and then letting the bait back away from the obstacle?

I'm not a big crank guy, so obviously I could be wrong.

Its a good crank for cover like mud and small gravel. The benefit is using it for the deeper suspended fish.

T-rig I've used it twice so far, probably an hour's worth of cast. The bait has good action but I'm still waiting for my first fish. I appreciate the video, I like how it looked when they were pulling the bait which is a retrieve I'm going to try the next time it comes out of the tacklebox. When I cast it the line it does seem to wrap around the hooks a little more often than the other cranks that I use but not enough to where it's a problem. One thing that will likely improve over time is color selection though they picked 3 good ones to use for their debut. I think the bait has good potential but obviously I need to start catchting a few fish on it before I can endorse it, that said I haven't given it enough time on the water yet. As a side note, I nailed some big ones today on a bandit 700 series in the Bluegill color, it's definetely a crank that I will give 2 thumbs up.
