Does anyone use it and do you catch any with it? I bought it and the naked rage but have not caught a fish with either. I have seen fish trail the rage blade but never bitten it.

Don't fish them much. Caught a 4 lber prespawn on one though. Green with craw trailer.

Actually one of my favorite vibrating jigs now. It deflects really good. Throw half ounce or larger if skirted due to its tendency to rise with any trailer at all.
I can backlash toilet paper.

Haven't fished one, but heard the following: Catches bass (it's not a dud) Different action than most bladed swim jigs Runs shallower (tends to rise, difficult to fish deep/keep on the bottom) Not as snaggy as other bladed jigs, particularly around wood

I've tried them and never a bite. Must be doing it wrong

They work great in shallow vegetation. I started throwing them on braid after getting broke off w/ 20 lb floro. Usually use a speed craw for a tailer. Stop and go retrieves. Bend the blade back simular to an actual chatterbait blade to keep it underbet ter. 1/2 oz- Wished they made a 3/4-1oz.

Change the snap. Try taking the skirt off and add a swimbait. I use these as a backup bait to shallow cranks. They fall nose down and work great around light snaggy piles too.

I bought one a while back just to check it out. I have not caught anything with it but to be fair it was winter time and I really didn't throw it for any extended period of time. It seems good though, chops right through the vegetation.

Thanks for the replies. It must just be me. Normally, I won't give a new lure a fair chance. If it doesn't catch soon I put it away. I really like the way that it swims and how well it goes through the weeds and around wood. I keep going back to it and trying to fish it differently but just haven't caught anything. Not that I am catching much with any lure right now. I'll stick with it.
