verrrrry interesting~~~
thanks to ALL the contributors, esp. Dr Gee!
sum excellent pix and chronology of the lure.

ya mean i have to increase my AYC arsenal, again?

looks extremely fishy, i love spooky lures, add in the double whammy of flash and tail wiggle to the tail, and you have a striper magnet, no?

so, is it safe to assume that the deep shads and the swim shads were bourne from this lure's success from the middle to the top of the water column, but it's inability to fish the bottom of the column with any degree of consistency or effectiveness?

since i've never fished one, i can only go by sight,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

by my eye~ it doesn't "look" like any of the FLAPS featured above would allow you to get to where the big gurls laze about, down deep, caruising the bottoms for their next tasty morsel?? with the Swim Shads, i see the same wiggly/wobbly/bubble generating "tail" combined with the "flash" of the hollographic shimmer/finish, add in the ownership of the structure at its depths with life-like action and profile~~~~ and it just ain't fair,,,,,,,,,,,,sometimes, it feels like cheating!! then again, i AM an EEEEEEEELIN' sumana beeeetch

any truth to my wonderings,,,,,,,,or, am i LOST in my own Sea of Discombobulation?
