I have the pink one in my bag and it works very well. Well worth the money! Also very well made. It casts soso but if the wind is at your back or you don't need distance it is fine. I used it a lot last season. This year I found something a little bit sweeter. I like squid based lures, and find just about any fish, big and small feel the same way. Yo Zuri also makes a different rubba squid that is so realistic you can not tell the difference from the real thing in the water. I rig mine with an egg sinker and SS treble with some fluorcarbon leader material and it casts better then the pink lure and glides sub surface and looks so real it is amazing. The pink lure waddles a little like a minnow based lure, squid don't do that. But it seems to work nonetheless. The key to all squid lures are to work them very very sloooooooooooow with a twitch now and then. This rubba thing is neutrally buoyant in the water with the egg and it hangs.....just like a real squid. I have never seen it sold in a local shop but I ordered it from some I-net tackle shop that discovered them on a trip to japan and brought some back to this country. Maybe you have seen them. They come in 12" and 7" and 4". I have seen similar ones for frolling spreaders for tuna offshore but they did not look nearly as real as these and were way too big for bass. Below is the 7 3/4' one I have in my bag. (they are about 7 bucks (unriged) for the 7 3/4" model and I think about 10 bucks for the 12" model.. I have a few of each.
They seem to work well but I have only tried them a few times so far.

what do you think?...

And I also like Mr. Tatoo's version...I'll take 1/2 doz in varied sizes and colors please....
