I usually don't fish plastic shrimp much, but will have to get a few of these.

I've been trying them this winter and haven't had much luck. But you know, this has been a tough winter where I fish. Had three trips with no take home fish to show for it. As the brown shrimp start to run you should be able to catch easier with anything that looks like a shrimp.

Yeah they work. Won't beat a live shrimp but you don't have to keep hooking them either.

Good lure but the hooks are very thin. I had a gafftop snap the hook on one.

The makers are aware of prob are working on a solution they said.

I like them under a cajun thunder. Very durable. Not worth a damn on action if you just throw them by theirself.

For real. Ain't got time for that expensive arse shite when 90% of catching fish is throwing it in the right place and working it correctly.

I laugh at my buddy who comes with me all the time. He has the latest and greatest bait every time we go out there. My $0.25 plastics out fish his $4.00-8.00 plastic/lures every time

The ad says u only need one to catch 25. so ii guess thats how they justify the price, considering i have to change a plastic every 4-5 fish.

I just don't find those shrimp type baits catch big fish. A lot yes, but I have to say 95% of my trout over 4lbs on artificial have been on top water, fish looking plastics and the sand eel baits.

What are you changing them for? The only time I put on a new plastic is when the line breaks or something bit the tail off (which doesn't happen often).

Plastic H&H has to be at the point that superglue won't help it before a change it.
