I don't have any myself but they do look pretty snazzy and well built. I don't know how they swim, but that quite a few people use them locally at Castaic--they are pretty close-mouthed about what works for them. If you are near Castaic, Gallion's sells them somewhat cheaper ($30-ish I think) and I think Taylor Tackle in Canoga Park also has them cheaper than the website. There are some on eBay right now at $30 but they are a different pattern, you might want to get one of those and if you like it spring the $50 for the striper if you can't get them elsewhere.
