I met with Al a few weeks ago to test these out before they made it to the shops. My first impression was that they looked to be too light to cast. Well, that thought was squashed on my first cast. I was quite amazed at how far they actually cast. I wasn't using light gear, either, as Al wanted to see how the lure would work with real fishing gear. I had 50# braid and 60# leader and a fairly heavy 9' rod. It went so far on my first cast, Al actually thought I broke off one of his proto's. Anyway, they are through wired and look to be pretty well made. He told me he did some stress tests with them being tied to a cinderblock and none of them failed. They dive to a similar depth of a bomber, but you can also swim them on the surface like a danny with a sexy wiggle. Only time will tell if the bass like them, but I know of a couple already taken on the Thames this week on the smaller version.
