I threw both today up to the dam but the only thin I caught fish on were ring worms. I really like the action the jointed SR has !! I’m sure both will be fish catchers on the wing dams when the river gets down there,

the tail dancer has been out for a while but i am sure they will put some fish in the boat and put some hawgs in your hands
I thought the taildancers would be the hot ticket last spring, but it wasn’t. Those larger/deeper running lures just ran a little too deep 10-12′ when the fish were up shallow, may be the # 5 will fit the bill better for shallow water end. The reg.(longer & deeper runner) did produce well on pike though–they love that perch pattern–5 pike between 32″ and 38″ plus some shorter ones in a 3 hour afternoon troll.
What about the Long Cast Minnow? Anyone tossed that one out yet? Brian……
