One late night, in a moment of drunken foolishness, my buddy and I order this thing. In fact the operator talked us into buying two for a deal (suckers). Ours had a cockscrew mechanism that attached to the head of the bait. The plastic was so soft that with nearly every cast the lure would go flying off into the trees. This was about 6 or 7 years ago. I'm not sure if they may have been improved since. The creator is a stand up guy though. He is a fishing guide in Maine. I met him when I was on a white water rafting trip. When I complained about being ripped off he offered to take me out fishing to show me how to work it. Unfortunately this was this last day of my vacation so I couldn't take him up on the offer. He did buy me a beer at the brew house though.
