Has anybody caught anything on these yet? I've been out twice with mine and haven't had a bite or follower. I still have way more confidence in the Hudd so obviously I'm throwing that one more but I figured I would of at least had a bite on the bait for as many times that I have thrown it.

I got a couple follows at DVL yesterday. I really dig the slow sink, but the fast sink seems like you have to burn it in a little to get the tail kicking. Lake Jennings has a 16 posted that was supposedly caught on the Rago RT, but in the picture of the fish the bait is obviously a hudd unless the rago is modified.
I'm liking the Rago though, i'm confident I can put a fish or two on it soon.

fished both mine yesterday, very poor swimming action on both baits, i was very upset about that. my slow sink had barely any tail action, and was on its side 99% of the day ;/

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.

On the castaic platinums, there's a tiny red dot on the belly to indicate fast sink, a blue dot to indicate medium sink, and a green dot for surface. I think I got that right... This bait has the same system of dots.

I was wondering what that green speck was on the underside of my bait. I just thought some glitter got loose. I ordered a slow fall so green must be slow fall (not surface???). Glad you mentioned that Rob.
