The problem with those jigs (as nice as they look) is that they dive like a mother. The eye is too far aft. They would best be used to troll from a boat. They do look nice though. I used them and the snapper slappers (which is what those were cloned off of) and they are work best when trolling over a sandy bottom IMO. From the beach it is too difficult to get it off the bottom...if you reel faster or jerk it...it dives more.
