I can't speak towards any new releases, but the 130 peremium from last year is a nightmare in my opinion. The porpoise like swim action that Rob described had me laughing when I first pool tested the bait. After working with the joints and a couple of exploratory trips I gave it away and chalked my $30 or whatever it was to a lesson learned. I'm still kind of shocked that Lucky Crafts attempt on that bait ended up being so poor.

The only positive I can possibly think of is that maybe it's designed for a jerk, pause and then very slow wind. I would have been fine with that, but still didn't like it and it wasn't a bait I felt would be used with confidence for me. Maybe the new ones or the bigger ones they come out with will be better, but they looked the same to me at the Bass A Thon in just a bigger size.

My 2 cents...
