Comments from beta testing in Florida...untouched except for location removed.
“First cast into a pocket along the shore of ####### Island got a 22" snook; hooks are good. Action is GREAT; sputters great. Sits at an angle with the rear hook down just right for a fish to get. It works great as a sputterbait; works good as a walk-the-dog bait. Noisy. We needed that because we were in about 3' of dingy water.
Got another snook, same size,same place on the second cast. These aren't big fish; just very aggressive.
That was it for that spot. Caught one sea trout a little further along and then we decided to move on to fish for sea trout in deeper water; could not get one to come up and went to a jig/gulp. We caught over 50 trout in 8 - 10 feet of water; mostly just at the legal length of 15", enough 16" that we could have limited if we'd kept any.
No camera unfortunately... forgot the phone... but I often leave it since $1000 phones don't do well with me, cast nets, salt water and fast boat.
I'll get on to test the others soon... but the #2 can't be improved upon. If the rear floats a little higher, may get a little more action; but I doubt it. Balance is perfect. Lure doesn't spin even when retrieving fast; very stable.
That old design is just good!!”
