I threw a fast sink bait over the weekend...just to try it out....

First thoughts, I think Mr. Hudd went down the path of pectoral fins already. It was clear to me the pectoral fins do add realism, but add a plane like action to the bait...totally like a 747 in the water. The fast sink fell anything but fast, and had a funky planing action. I like the Hudd ROF 12 and 16 cuz on tight line, you can pendulum the bait near structure as it falls and know its swimming right.

The Real trout just sank sorta unrealistic to me, and for a fast sink (maybe I got a mis-labeled one) it sure wasn't very fast.

When reeling the bait, it swims great and came dead true right at me. At super high speeds it would roll and the mout would open up and be all funky...but for a steady wind, it looked alright.

I only threw it a few times, and went back to Mr ROF5 and Mr ROF 12.

Note: Why isn't there a way to tell the fast sink vs. slow sinks on his baits? Am I missing something?

I keep hearing the next release is going to be better and blah blah blah. Sounds like the software company I work for...next release that issue is addressed. Well, this isn't software. This is hardware.
