I was going to say the same thing. Erratic action. I have the same results when fishing bunker spoons on the boat. lost fish because of the erratic action fish will miss a lot of times. But they also attract lots of fish much like pencils so it is worth the chance. Also I see lots of people try to set the hook with pencils too which lots of times results in pulling the plug out of the fishes mouth or a very bad hook set. I just wait until the line comes tight and then pull back, not pull hard when you see the splash.
