when i was with my friend that fishes tournaments and just won the last local one, he was using it in the same pond and caught atleast 3 3 pounders in 30 minutes when we had only been catching fish off minnows. and nothing else would work. i even used carolina rigs and texas and spinnerbaits. i would hit the bass multiple times to entice a strike and nothing would happen. and these were big and little fish.
