I'd be curious to hear how they are if anyone tests them. But, at $15 a pop, they better be good. That's still a lot of money for a fishing lure to a lot of people. There are plenty of proven wooden plugs for close enough to that price that I'm very happy with. The Superstrike Littleneck poppers are cheaper than the Tsunami's and I know they work great and can take a beating.

As for the designs, they do look like Gibbs and Hab's knockoffs. I guess that's to be expected from a mass producer. Why try to find a new design when there are enough proven one's already out there?
