The blades on these baits start up immediately and the 1/4 oz size holds steady with the 2.5 slim swimmers.
These are pricy even on sale at $6.39 but the quality of the skirt and blade kick the shit out of the micro 1/8 chatter baits. I fish a tatula light bfs rod with 10lb braid to a 8lb copolymer leader. I was able to smack 10 bass over two trips, small mouth and large. As well as a 2lb flat head. These are great for smaller fish in pressured water. New go to bait, could never understand the chatter bait hype with the larger sizes.
Fits in my suitcase and gives me an alternative to a fly rod.
my second TFO rod, replacing my first one due to a break from my boat cleat. I typically buy quality brand rods that are in a mid-price point. This rod fits in as it has good action, good balance and is comfortable. I would buy another.
