I just do not know what to compare them to. I am comparing them to Wright baits worms right now. They have a good sell on both of t...

Wright Baits make a lot of different baits in a bunch of different colors; Inside Lines / Lunker Daddy in Merced have a full line of their baits. They have a website that is still in development here is the link. www.lunkerdaddy.com

Re: Lucky Craft Staysee 90 Version. 2

I am not sure about the size of hooks on the Verzion 2, but I change the hooks out on the original to larger ones and that helps. Along with the suspend dots. You can actually get it to do a slow fall even when you are not twitching it.
