I have not caught anything on it yet but it fishes like a scaled down version of Ken's 8" baits. I think it is an exceptional lure.
Peace

First bite was a 6lb.3oz. largemouth. This bait doesn't have quite the presence to it that other bigger swimbaits have so dont expect to be pulling herds of fish off a spot to check out your bait. It will get bit and definetly has a time and a place. I think the biggest problem people are going to have with this bait is getting the quality of bites that most swimbait fishermen are looking for befor your $30 bait gets trashed by 2 and 3 pounders. Deffinetly a fun little bait.

I've fished a few of them to check out the action and to try and tempt the elusive biggie smalls. They look great and have the same action as the 8"er's. I've only fished the rof 12's.

Hey guys thanks A LOT for the replys. I live in New York and because we don't have as big of bass as in say california or something, the six inch sounds like it would be a bit better, i'll defenitely give it a shot, also

Does the ROF 5 in the 6 in version come with the hook ? or without like the ROF 5 in 8 in

For a guy looking to own six to eight soft baits it is an excellent product. I ended up owning too many boxes for convenient transport and had to find/build a more practical solution, but those Markey boxes worked out well initially.

Here's some directions i wrote up on making your own swimbait box. The only thing I've really changed since then is I have taken the swivels off the and just zip-tied the snaps to the bar this way the baits do not move around as much and allows for longer baits.
