First off I am not bashing anyone, I am bashing the quality of a $15 lure that should hold up to more than one strike or fish.sorry but I gave these the benifit of the doubt and tried SIX times with only ONE fish hooked up that was a $120 rat sorry but that doesnt fly...I have tried many brands of swimbaits and this ONE model from castiac is no good plain and simple I love most of their other stuff and have quite afew OLD castiacs that have alot of fish on them and I still use them today....as far as contacting someone before bashing them, Tried already havent heard a word?..I would love to be taking care of on the three I saved pieces from but doesnt look like thats going to happen..everyone is always so upset when someone states an opinion about a friends product ,But it just that its my opinion but apperantly a few people have had the same issues so it answered my question? didnt mean to piss anyone off I just wanted to state my frustration about this matter sorry But I am pissed I lost $120 in tackle and I cant afford that kind of loss....anyways.....
