I bought several of these because they were half price. Today I tried the "glass silver shad" pattern and it was deadly! Unfortunately I didn't catch anything big, but I landed at least a half-dozen smallmouth bass and about 50 perch. Seriously. The perch would not leave this thing alone! I don't know if it's the color or the action or what, but I'm thinking about renaming this bait "perch velcro". 90% of the fish I caught were foul-hooked somewhere other than the mouth. That's a real tribute to the gamakatsu hooks. They are super sharp and snag any fish that comes close enough.
The only thing I don't like about this bait is the weight. It's very light. I was tossing it with an ultralight rig & 8lb power pro braid (same diameter as 1# mono).
Here's a link & a pic:

Did they come with the hooks or did you have to buy them seperatly? Also what lake did you use them at. I just bought same one you posted and the glass perch also.

I just had my dad order me a couple. I got two in the glass perch pattern. I also got one of the realimage sinking minnows.
I cant wait till they all get here! The glass silver shads were sold out :(

They come with gamakatsu hooks -- and they're VERY sharp!
