And YES, I've had a problem with the rear hooks pulling, especially on the 5" models. Maybe that's why they're so hard to find...fixing that problem?

Braided lines + stiffer rods + higher drags = pulled hooks
At the price of a freshwater lure ($7-8/piece), I don't think the Mambos are really made to take the pressures that many of us put on them quite frequently. This is unfortunate because often times a Mambo Minnow can breaks open the fishing.
On the other hand, last night 4 of us were out fishing, all using Mambos. We caught 30-40 fish between 26-33" and only one Mambo was sacrificed, and not by a fish...
