Lucky Craft Real Californian Missed the Mark...
I was pretty excited about this bait based on the quality of baits that Lucky Craft always produces. I also liked that it seemed to fit the need for a smaller hard bodied swimbait that was missing. I really expected this to be an unbelievable fish catching tool again because Lucky Craft was producing it. I got one of the first available online from a overseas dealer and it looked as I expected when I opened it and I was excited to say the least.

First thing I did was appreciate the colors that Lucky Craft put on the model I had. It wasn't perfect, but I liked it. The second thing I did was take it for a test swim in the pool. At anything besides a very slow speed it looked like a dolphin swimming and surfacing just like when they are in pods. When I saw Rob describe it as that in his opening thread I simply nodded in agreement. In my opinion this is one of the worst swimming baits I've ever seen. I tried it at a local lake a couple of times with varied retrieves and just didn't see a point to owning it or wasting my time throwing it with all the other great swimbaits that are available. I ended up giving it away.

My Advice: Don't waste your money or time with this bait unless you want it to sit on a shelf or can explain to me an effective way to fish it that will out produce other proven fish catchers.
