I caught a lot of bass on them[green mackerel color] in the sinking version.
they casted farther and swam different from the floating minnow.
I was hammering bass before anyone even knew there were bass around my parts.
back then there were no bass around just gorilla bluefish and all of a sudden one night whilst catching blues I got into a good fight with a fish that felt odd,didn't jump,just stayed deep and throbbed.
when I got it to shore I knew what it was.
I caught them for 2 years before anyone knew about it.
this was back in 1982-83.
then someone saw me with a nice 20lb bass walking to my car and the cat was out of the bag.
