I like the Proangler better, but I was standing there and Lucas is quiet a ways from there!!! 2011 NTTC Rookies of The Year 2013 NTTC Anglers of The Year

Spud uses them and when we fished off of his boat they performed flawlessly. They seem to like 2 to 3oz of lead which is just right for lake and small river fishing IMO.
