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!!!

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.
