Performance: Unlike the normal trend of finding one good bait per every five or ten bough, each RC 1.5 behaves the same out of the package.

TIP: I found that using a line with more stretch (like mono), gave a more natural retreive by allowing less hangups, when compared to using a fluro line.

Clunn says that "his rod length preference is 7 feet, but he warns that rod action is more important that rod length", and prefers to use a "Heavy action rod".

Trigger time: My goal for the day was to showcase this bait by using it around cover and allowing it to prove itself around various terrain. I started fishing points and hooked into this guy who was hiding under a submerged tree in 4 feet of water.

After leisurely fishing for a while I started targeting points around current, where bass would be hiding waiting for shad. In just 2.5 to 3 feet of water I found a school of stiped bass that were hungrier than a fat guy at a buffet. The current was headed towards me, and the bass were staged, waiting to eat. I found this beautiful spot.

The results were immediate. On the second cast just 5ft outside the corner weedline you see in the picture (left corner), the bait was hammered by the bass you see below.

The very next cast I layed into another striped bass, and it wouldnt let go.

In about 3.5 hours of work, i collected over 6 nice bass. Thats enough to put a smile on any anglers face. right?
