darek : Five Stars

ok.

ROOSTERS BAIT & TACKLE : Five Stars

good buy

Larry M. Burke : Great for Lunker Largemouth

Yesterday, thanks to advice from a fishing friend, I tied on this lure. In two hours, I had a largemouth going 9 lb 8 oz and a second going 6 lb 8 oz. Both were taken on the perch color and the lure had been in my tackle box for a number of years without being used. These were the two largest, but we also boated two three pounders before the wind got so back we had to get off the water.

I have used this lure since 1973. It is my primary topwater lure. I have caught thousands of largemouth bass, small mouths, fresh and saltwater trout.
