It's true, the head does wobble back and forth with the tail.............but slow and subtle. I've tested both the 12 and 16, 8" model and they both popped fair fish (6.1 lbs and 9.4 lbs). The bigger fish on the 16. One could argue that it's the most realistic of the softbaits, but thats just me................think deep, Moon

by the way, there is the original 12" model with the same rate of fall as the 8"( if you can afford it) check out www.huddlestondeluxe.com
