I've been using the #3 size for Walleye in western basin of Lake Erie for the last month. I have really worked the heck out of them, because I bought so many of them, and they are expensive. I want them to work. They definitely have a fantastic side to side wiggle action to them at slow trolling speed 1.8 and is consistent running faster at 2.5 mph. I had to replace all of the stock hooks with Gamakatsu #1 Siwash hooks, as I was losing too many fish on the stock treble hooks (they are a size too small IMO). Our hook up percentage has increased dramatically. my buddy replaced all of his with Bandit hooks (size #4 trebles) and likes them better. The paint is holding up pretty good. NASCAR has been our best color. So far, they have produced the best behind a #3 Chinook diver, but we have also done well using them behind a Jet 30. I plan on trying them on short lead cores soon, as i feel they will do the best on them. Are they a magical lure: Not in my opinion. Have they caught any more fish than my Stingers or Silver streak Jr's: No I'm going to keep running them, simply because I bought so many and I want them to work. I do think behind 2,3 and 4 color lead cores for walleyes they will do well because of the action. My buddy bought a bunch of the #4 and #5 size to try on Lake Huron for Lake trout. I think they will work good for that.

Any recent reports out of Oak? I did great there last year the week of the 4th of July.

I will be in Wilson from May 1-6. Cinco de Mayo!! Hopefully it's a good bite
