I've used them 4 or 5 times starting with the first one I pulled off a big smallie I caught years ago on St. Clair. Way back, I was looking for a really good perch imitator - before all these realistic baits became popular - and it was one of the few paint jobs that looked like an actual perch.

My own testing showed they catch fish okay, but other baits have more action and catch them better more often for me.

Fluke-type baits and stick worms are more better.
