tested all 3 today

the dannie liped cb swam the deepest and looked good, had alittle less action than the pikie liped one...looked good, swam 4 feet (around) maybe good for trolling or for deeper breachways..... pikie liped one swam really nice, nice action, looked to run 3 feet somewhere around there. I would use this most of the time the a-40 liped one swam just under the surface, looked alittle better today than yesterday, but it s not right. I'm thinking of drilling out the back belly weight. the a-40 lip's not the same as the beachmaster cowboy lip... so far I like the pikie 3 the best and the dannie 2(top slot) is good too... dannie2 has tighter action ed
