Comments: I was pumped on this bait too, but pretty underwhelming compared to the smaller version. Head dips pretty badly, and line tie came bent so the action was off initially. I tweaked it and still don't love it honestly.

Comments: Bought this bait little while ago and I really like it. The positives are the swim action are fantastic and consistent, the hooks stock or changed out sit perfectly under the belly and tail of the bait so the hookup ratio is consistent as well. Also the thumping action of this bait under the surface has a large, pulse that moves alot of water. Very impressed overall with this bait. Only issue I have is with the service. The tail fell off on first fish around 3 pounds and couldn't find tail. Emailed matt lures at their website and have heard nothing back since. Make sure you glue the tail in because stock setting sucks and highly doubt this company cares regarding providing extra tails for the customers.
