Casting this beast requires little effort and will rocket through the heaviest of winds that mother nature can throw at you. A good 50 yard cast is easily attainable with the drag backed off.

The sheer effort it takes to let the bait reach the bottom is attained in just seconds due to the 1oz weight. Techniques such as yo-yo'ing and bumping it off the bottom will be the main retreives used. I threw this bait on top of ledges in about 6ft of water and brought it down a deep slope into 12ft of water without problems.

Durability: After making over 75 casts we examined the bait to see how it held up. The hooks slamming into the head and rear side of the body showed. Yo-yo'ing obviously had the large hooks causing contact. Below are pictures of the results.

 
As you can see, its obvious that the tip of the hooks were getting lodged into the side of the bait. Not a big deal for most, but its still shows how the baits large hooks play a part into how durable the finish is. The rear section of the bait had the same issues as seen below.

The rest of the bait held up very well without any scrapes to the paint. It should also be noted that I was fishing this over grass, rocks, and the occasional submerged tree with no hangups.
