Iron Decoy Lures?

[texas]

Curious if anyone has tried running the Iron Decoy Lures for trolling? Saw these at the Niagara Fishing Show and was just intrigued enough to pick up a few. They look quite a bit different than normal  trolling spoons almost more like a casting or jigging spoon. Definitely much heavier than would be typical (1 oz). Owner was a real nice guy, said they work good for either. Due to a combination of life events, I haven't had a chance to test them out. Curious if anyone has ran these? I will plan to throw them out on a couple of junk lines. I imagine it may fall into the category of uncommon/niche tackle but hey never know and I am always a sucker for something new. Seems like the salmon line is fairly new from my brief talk with the owner and may be the first season they have been around.

I ran one a couple weeks ago. I will say that at one point we cleared the deck, with the sole exception of the rod running the ID lure. They are quite,,,vigorous...in their action. But the salmon wanted to chew that day, so I'm guessing that a more active presentation wouldn't have been problematic. Regardless, no swings and no misses. Yet.

 

I'm not going to make a judgement call based on a single use, but it may require some dialing in. Or it may be a bust, time will tell. Please weigh in if you get out and have a chance to test them.

Thanks Gator. Makes sense, I did cast a couple while fishing at a pond just to get an idea of the action. Agree they would likely be a more aggressive presentation. I will toss out a couple in the spread once I get going and update either way.
