You can use them as a flutter spoon with an extra treble or as a vibrato/blade bait on steroids! It also has bras beads to add a click to go along with the vibration! It seems like a beast of a bait in theory! Let me know if anyone uses them

I know several people who have had good luck with this lure. I will be picking a couple up next time I see them for sale. Cheers
