I use them a lot ....100+ cocktail blues on these and some big blues ....in obx I walk the beach with a few in my pocket...I even hand them out ..telling guys to put that fancy lure back in your bag .....@ sand hook one day me and my buddy walk into a nice blitz ...I just got done making a batch of them ...with red tails ...caught on every cast ..two kids there had no plugs ...I gave them one each ....they started catching ...fun day
