They definitely get bit but I've probably had a 10% hookup ratio on the big 110 version. I threw it last year for the last time lol. I'll be using a spook or a buzzbait moving forward.
That's weird. My hookup ratio is very high. And not like I do anything special. They hit it and I set the hook. I've mainly had success in ponds. Last time I caught 7 in 45 minutes right at dusk when fishing had been slow all day. This was April when the water was still low 60's. In lakes, not sure what I'm doing wrong, but over grass I haven't done well where a swim bait or sinko will work. Also the 110s sink on cast before they float up so they'll still grab grass or slime even though it's top water. Not like a frog in that regard. I usually try both slow retrieve as well as more start/stop a bit jerky trying to mimic a dying fish.
