I actually have used that before. Wasn't a fan. It worked decently, but for the price of it I just don't think it's worth it. I understand it works better if used vertically so maybe from shore I just didn't get the action others get.

I already had it in the tackle box so I decided to throw the Yo-Zuri Snap Bean out there again. Had better results this time compared the last time. Ended up catching a handful of panfish with some of the bluegill being a really exceptional size. One of them might've been my PB. I ended up getting broken off at the end so I'm not sure if I'll buy another one any time soon, but it is a pretty good lure.

While the Snap Bean has more eye appeal and looks to be a better quality, I always wondered how these name brand lures do when put up against the knock off ones. I decided to try both out and can't say I was too surprised with the results. Ended up with a handful of nice panfish and a beautiful largemouth bass.

I use Snap Beans and the knock offs and do well with both. Some of the knock offs are better quality than others. Some days they crush them and other days they are looking for something else.Attachment 383258Attachment 383259Attachment 383260

Nice. Those are some good looking bluegill.
