I bought a kit and yeah they work but it is the same basic thing as a zoom super fluke.  The super fluke is way cheaper, has more color options, and has better rigging options and lasts longer so it is the winner in my book.

I used them and had problems getting the hook to set, the fish would grab on and I would pull the damn thing out of its mouth, I started using a trailer-hook. Thes things worked great in planter-trout lakes after planting, I would cast the 6 inch white one onto the end of a dock and slide it off. The bass would inhale it as it fell!!!

used the kits for a couple years and it never really produced. i think we only ever caught 1 fish with it. I'm sure it works for someone.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

That is one huge improvement with the super flukes.  They have a split belly so you can use a 3/0 ewg gammy and rig it texas style.  The banjos have to be hooked through the nose which is not the ideal place.

Yeah, I bit and bought the small kit of them.  I caught fish with them but I prefer other plastics.
