Has anyone tried this lure ?

Curious about this also.. I know Matt and Tim over at Tactical Bassin have several Youtube videos on their channel on these baits... They rave about them and are California guys..

I would like to hear from someone here in the Florida Panhandle.. Been thinking about trying one on a few of our lakes.. Maybe Ray will chime in..

This is the smallest of the S-wavers, Matt and Tim just use the 200 and 168 on their videos. I have wondered if it still has the good action of the larger ones.

My bad .. I was thinking of the 168 size.. I have seen somewhere though possible on YouTube
where you can make some modifications using a small hand file to improve the action on the smaller size..

Just go with the 168 size they work just get ready for followers.

I tried the 120 vs the 168. To me the 168 has better action. The 120 just seems to small to glide properly.

Good advice--168 size seems to be the happy medium for me. The 200 seems a little big and it takes a pretty stout rod to fish it. I have give up on the 120--did not have the good glide like the 168 has to me plus you need to swap out the rear treble to a short shank because the hook that comes on it constantly gets snagged on the tail and is a wasted cast. Swapping it to short shank solved that problem.
