Do they Work? Not sure.. haven't had a strike on it yet but I haven't thrown it too much. Do they look good...YESSS!! I have a 9" Stocker and its probably the realist looking one, right there with the Castaic Trout. Looks like a trout just cruising. A few things I've heard are the 9" needs to have the hook sharpened, you need a stinger hook because the plastic in the middle seems to inhibit hook sets, and just keep fishing them... I'll post when I actually catch one on it. Erik P.
