What do you guys think about these for spring browns? The action looks great in the videos! They dive 6'-9'. I'll probably give them a shot and see what happens.

Look pretty good!

In this weeks episode of Lindners Fishing Edge they were using them to catch browns in Lake Superior. Looked like they worked pretty well.

I have heard they run deeper on a troll.   With that bigger bill, I would expect that.  For the price you might want to check that out, before leaving one on the bottom.

I used them last year- I don't think they outperform any other stick bait (at least for me). To get them moving side to side you gotta (I forget which one) get them going faster or slower than standard trolling speeds. I had one out almost all spring and I think I only took one fish. My best producers are the smaller stinger spoons off boards.

I used them last spring, Got nothing with them,, Switched over to Thundersticks and game on!

If I can't catch those on the 400 plus sticks(I should be slapped) I already own, I'll go back to the launch........

same result for me..... they do not have the same wiggle on the stead troll as they do on a cast retrieve

[Yankee Troller]

We ran them on our shakedown cruise last year. A buddy brought it. We only had 1. I can honestly say it was HOT that day!

[Chas0218]

Didn't do Crap on our boat either. Same case as Yankee, my buddy brought them in various colors because they worked back home for him. We had them on riggers, boards, and down the chute not a single fish on it.

My other lures outperformed them 3 to 1 easy.

We tried them on browns and walleye. FWIW

Every year or so Rapala comes out with what is supposed to be the latest & greatest. I must say IMO most of  these have been more of a bust than bang. The originals in straight  or jtd  are stiil  the best for me , Husky jerk the exception. I also liked the fat rap for walleye or bass.

dicks sporting goods has them on sale 5$ right now, just picked up few of the minnows, The bills seem like they're going to be prone to breaking. Haven't had good luck with rapalas quality lately. Lots of lips falling out (original/jointed), hooks pulling out, and tails falling off(jiggin rap).

[Fish Hunter]

Storm Thin Fins work, but jointed Rapalas, and Smithwicks seem to be what the fish want more often.

Suttons off the balls.

They worked very very well for me on Quinte last year.  I didn't think the Minnow would work that well because it needed more speed to get it to kick out.  The shad kicks out at slower speeds, however, the minnow out fished the shad for me and I did very very well on the minnow last year.  It had to be doing something different because there were days it consistently and very obviously out fished everything else in the spread.
