Wow...I don't think they are *that* bad. I used them this spring from the surf and they cast OK..they could be a little heavier, perhaps a heavy mag ball on the inside would help...but I was able to fish it OK. I would say it casts further then a mambo and most lipped minnows on average. It does tend to "kite" somewhat tough so I guess that is where your inconstantancy comes from.
Quite frankly I thought the swimming action was pretty damn good considering it doesn't have a lip too. If you are fishing mono you probably cant feel it.
I have trolled it too off of wasque. Frankly I think it is too light for wire. Wire line demands more tension (IMO) then this lure can produce. So I would troll it on braid or lead. ( I used braid with a drail and it trolled fine)
As far as fish catching...I have caugeh a buch of bluefish and several medium bass (3 or 4) but nothing huge and that was in early june. IMO, it is a better boat trolling lure then a surf lure but I think the concept has a lot of potential and it can be use from the surf. I like to see more lip-less swimming lures.
I think he had some serious QC issues early on. Mine seem to stand up ok. (the hooks and rings sucked but I changed them on most plugs anyway) . Only the custom guys use the right stuff IMO.
