Fished in a shallow creek with rocks and weeds. The clicking sound and tail wag got bites even on a slow retrieve. Hook held well and the lure stayed stable. Great for structure-heavy spots.
Dorothy Wilkins –
Used it in a shallow pond with submerged logs. The sound and movement triggered several strikes. A bit aggressive in choppy water, but effective overall.
