johnathan · 11-04-08, 08:57 AM

I got my pink one hanging in visor of my truck. Its too valuable to risk losing it to a big bass.

johnathan · 11-07-08, 04:18 AM

lol i used in a pond about 2 acres. i fished it like a spinner bait just reeling in steady and it was having a lot of succes i caught a 5 lb with it last spring

Fishnngolfn · 11-07-08, 11:08 AM

Well I have found out that most any plastic will work when the fish are hitting topwater. If they fish are hungry and attacking anything that hits the water, I make sure I throw my cheapest plastic baits. That way when they destroy them, I don't have the bait monkey on my back.

MrPhotographer06 · 11-07-08, 10:46 PM

send me one of them trusty copter lures

Earl Marshall · 11-08-08, 06:32 AM

If it is the same lure that you all are talking about I believe that my Father-in-law has a box full of then don't think he has ever cought anything on them. I will try and get a picture of them and post it to see if that is the same lure that everyone is talking about.

MrPhotographer06 · 11-08-08, 09:58 AM

flbassman · 11-09-08, 02:04 PM
