Question- It turns out the windcheater is rare and no longer made. My friend says DON'T USE IT- but it looks sooooo sweet and I am dying to throw it 
What do you guys do with your "special" lures???? |
A good friend of mine recently got me 10- 7" windcheaters. They still catch very well and cast like a missile. I would use them without hesitation, and keep an eye on the yard sales. That's where most of mine came from. A guy had a five gallon pail of them just sitting around with rusty hooks for $2 each. New hooks, split rings, and a little touch up paint and they are as good as new. If you only have one, I would still use it, they work that good.If you tie direct, put a split ring on the nose, otherwise no split ring with a snap works good too. Keep hunting for more in the meantime.
