I did a little bit a research in the archives and found some info. Probably should have done that before posting; haste makes waste.

Anyway, thanks for the info that has been provided thus far.

To be more specific, I am interested in the smaller size eagles, like the 5.5" models. I am looking for a subtle swimbait that would get more bites than the big rubber (9"-12"). I love my pro-rigged Ospreys and would have a hard time supplanting them in my tackle box with another "unproven" (at least to me) brand.

I like Mattlures waking baits but am not sure what sizes they come in, or how they are rigged and they are hard to find, even here in San Diego. The Eagles look like a quality small swimbait, almost a "tournament" swimbait, with some good colors. I particularly like the pro-rig setup and I think that even the small eagles come rigged that way. I am not sure about the little Ospreys, I love that they come three to a pack but four inches is almost too small, no?

Thanks for any help you can give, maybe now it will be easier to give it since you all know the specific niche I am trying to fill. As always, I appreciate it.
