Any of you using "wake" baits?

[islandbass]

I haven't yet but I think I read about them in either Bassin or Bassmaster a while back. I think they are super shallow crankbaits that create a v in the water as they wiggle. The fishing method didn't really seem like anything extraordinary to since it seemed to be a subset of crankbaiting, but an acquaintance of mine on another forum had some jointed was custom made for him and he asked me to make a little something for them to make them interesting. And that is what caught my attention.

Here is what his jointed wake baits look like:



And here is what he asked me to make for them:


Yep!!! Feathered trebles. They are size 2 Mustad Triple Grip trebles also dressed with a bit of flashabou.


These are size 4 VMCs with the same dressings.


All of them.

So have any of you tried "wake" baiting yet? As soon as I heal up, I think I'm going to try it out. Shake your tail feather!
