Well, I threw it today. Couldn't have been a worse day for topwater baits; bright sunshine, no clouds, light breeze, muddy water(clarity of a foot or less), and all of this following the first cold snap of the Fall season so the Bass were not cooperative in any way. I got one bite and one 8" Bass on a Swimming Senko in the shallows.
I'd reneame it by the way. Mine, in black with yellow stripes and its big 'head', looks very much like a baby alligator. It has a great wavy, wiggle movement; again like a small gator. I saw a real one about a foot long a month or two ago and though the coloring was different, the movement was very much like the bait's.
It casts fine and doesn't get tangled up in its hooks. I was throwing it on an Okuma rod, a Calcutta 300, and 25# test Maxima Ultragreen.
