I have and the bait stays right up on the surface, and does get the attention of bass, however I re-rigged them so they fish like an osprey or an eagle and the hookup percentages go way up.

I just ran a mojo weight through the nose at an angle and glued it in place. Pretty simple.

Other than that, they look pretty good and the fish are interested.

best method I've had is fishing it just like an baby e. Keep it close to vegetation or throw it behind bait balls
