Mine are still stored in the trashcan. Grout what kind of problem did you have with them? Just curious, wondered what to look out for........... Lol, I had the worst kind of problem! They hurt my shoulder to throw, they got tangled up during half of the cast and when they did finally run straight…i couldn’t catch anything on them!!!  But seriously, they probably work better on some lakes, than others. The lake I mostly fish is pretty dirty and although, I did catch one or two bass on them, as much as I threw one, it should have been more. Just a young man’s lure and not great for a guy that has worn out shoulders.  Can’t deny the big fish catches on Ivie with them though and then on the flip side, I have this buddy in California that spent hundreds on some A-rigs and he couldn’t catch a fish, if he had live minnows on it!  It’s not minnows it’s bluegill  , and if you took the time and hired a guide for a grand or two you too could watch and learn how to fish Arigs and catch and net DDs properly?

PRINGLES cans work for me too. I may be the only person on earth to hook and land an umbrella on my first day casting an A-rig.
