Talking skeeters

the skeeters hve a pretty cool action. i fish them using a "walk the dog" retrieve but you can make long jerks wiith ur rod and cause them to dive down under the surface and theyll sometimes come half way out of the water as they shoot back up. they actually make a surprisingly big splash on the retrieve for not having a hollow popper mouth.
