Great review, I like how you did not "sell" the product but were very honest about it. Crazy thing about reviewing fishing lures is that you really do not know until you catch a fish.
I will sometimes try a new lure when I get into a situation where teh bass are really biting on my "standards" and then try to thow them something different.
It is tough right now becuase we will not see a strong bite until April or May of next year. You did a superb job giving us all the important details
I especially was surprised to find that the lure ran so deep - hard to WTD when it is way down there.

Sounds like a cool lure. May be good over/around deeper submerged weedlines and such. One question: Does it sink or suspend? From your review, I get the feeling that it sinks. Being a budget minded angler, I hate using an 8 dollar lure with big trebles that sinks like a rock...unless it is really catching fish (I know, 8 bucks seems pretty cheap to a lot of guys who use the custom stuff, just my feelings). I'm similar to ESQ in that I tend to test different baits when the fish are really hitting on my standards, just for a change. I also like to try different stuff when I can't figure them out using my normal tactics.
