Blue Oyster,

The Slammer is fantastic when used in rivers and breachways... and dead sticking in a drift as Mikey had mentioned.

As many do very well with these during this time of year on the CT River...

The profile of the lure doesn't allow you distance unless the wind is at your back, and I would highly recommend that these be used for trolling.

When used under the right conditions, and application, this lure is extremely efective, especially on Tuna and other offshore species as Flaptail has mentioned... as well as larger sized Bass when trolled.

Sidearm casting will help some in optimizing distance.

I would only recommend this lure for the surf under the right conditions.

It's merely a matter of the right application.

And yes, they are through wired, and very durable.
