I picked up the 3.5" and the 4.5" in the Baby Bass,Sexy Shad and the Ghost Shad at the Academy on Cherry Lane in Fort Worth.The 3.5" bait looks like the size of most shad you see in the lake 80% of the time.It has a nice small profile.The 4.5", I tested today in the pool when I got home.The bait does has a pretty fast fall rate and does fall head first but it will swim as it falls down.It also at times will fall down in a slow spiral action like a tube but I have not had an issue with the line tangling on a straight drop after about 40 casts.I did try yo-yoing the swimbait to swim it up and let it swim down and it definately has a tendency to wrap the line around the front hook when yo-yoing too much.I give it two-thumbs up.Not because of the price which is great but because I believe they will catch fish.H20 baits have made a big splash in the market and they have caught fish the few times I have tried them..I have not given them enough time on the lake but I am going to invest in a few more of their baits and give them a good look.

you can burn these things as fast as you want or slow roll them super slow and they swim true. they hit the nail on the head with this one. unbelievable action and finish in a $9 bait.

Bought three 3.5's in Edmond, OK store today. They had 4 colors in the small size and at least 2 colors in the large. If it swims as well as it looks it's a winner!

They have them at the store in Amarillo, bought the 3.5" yesteday in the baby bass. Not sure i like the orange belly, but i guess it could pass as a perch as well. used it this morning and it caught fish! i think its a steal for the price

I tried the 3.5 in the pool last night and it swims good but it falls quickly to the bottom. However, it has a sweet wobble/swimming action as it falls to the bottom. I think the descent rate is about a foot a second so beware in shallow water.
