We use these on a game and fish lake near our home to catch big bass (10 lber's).My father started carving them out of cedar.He let me borrow one to fish with said if I lost it not to come home !!! I got one hung up on a log next to a cottom mouth (snake) .My buddies said are you going to get the crankbait.I said had you rather face the cotton mouth (snake or my father.He said not to come home without the crankbait.My Buddie said you better get the crankbait!!!
