IMO The fast-rac is a trolling plug and is loved by many but poorly made. If catches fish but does not hold up well. the eye is screwed into to plastic lip and the hook hangers get all bent out of shape if you catch a big bluefish on it. That said, I have a box of them and LOTS of guys swear by them esp trolling for bones and albies.
Frankly for trolling I like the rebel "Sliver" it is similar to the fasttrack but has a stainless lip, vmc hooks and a better internal wire. I have caught 70 fish with it in a day (blues, bones and albies) and even though there is little paint left on it the terminal gear is solid and it still catches.
