I still fish them and all models remain most excellent fish catchers. Don't paint them, sharpen the hooks and just use them. (If you do paint a couple though, solid black is a good bet)
I actually have found the 7" non windcheater catches better than the windcheater, as the skinnier versions always seemed to bring more hits than the stouter thru wire models. Don't worry about casting distance, it's hits your after, not yardage.
Smaller versions still kick butt in fresh water too.
