Sweet.

How are you guys fishing them? I have been fishing them like a riggie. Only thing I'm trying to counter act is that they seem to come up to the surface. I'm still playing with different weightings. They sure look good on a Pt. Jude swim plate.

Toby, I fish them double hook rigged with 2 weights in the head and 1 in the tail. Canalman has experimented with different weightings, not sure how he had this one weighted. I'm sure he'll chime in and tell.

tlap- fishing like a riggy.. do you mean like, slow pumps, steady retrieve?

ive been doing that with those..i put 5 sluggo weights in those to keep em down, since the body is segmented the weights dont stiffen the action. my last 30" fish was on one with that setup last week.

live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.

What christian said Toby... 2 in the head, 2 at or around the rear hook and one in the tail. If it still comes up, one around the rear of the head section will usually bring it down. I love using them, they hit them just like eels. The other thing I do with them is I cast them out, let them settle for around 10-15 seconds and work them in short slow bursts... slow jigging action for 5-10 seconds with a slow retrieve, let it settle for 3-5 and repeat, this has been my most successfull method.
