(More customer reviews)This lure looks so lifelike and the hooks are set up in such a way as to lose very few fish, why would I not purchase this item. I received it fairly quickly and upon arrival noticed a few things.
1) It is made of plastic, which I knew prior to purchase, but I didn't realize how light it would be. This made casting... interesting.
2) The packaging looks like it was done by a 5 year old. Some of the tails were actually stamped into the packaging.
3) The tails on just about all of the lures were deformed in some way. I bought two (3) packs and two of the six lures looked as pictured.
I was so excited to try the two "good" ones once on the water. It was the first thing I reached for in my tackle box.
It was when I retrieved my first semi-cast that something felt a little off. There was no resistance as I reeled the lure in, also it was returning sideways much like a real bluegill when hooked. I dipped the line in the water directly in front of me to see what sort of action it had in the water and to my surprise, it had none! No tail movement what so ever. I tried with the other one too and got the same result.
I am by no means finished fiddling with this lure. I plan to insert a pin style weight and bend a few pieces to get it to swim straight. I use 8-10lb test and will drop down to maybe 4 or 6lb. As for the tail, I think I will try to heat and form it until I get some action out of it.
If you decide to buy this lure I hope you have better luck. This review is for the Storm Wildeye Live Sunfish, I have not tried other storm products and cannot comment on their performance.
I will do a followup review if my modifications are successful.
