These things are actually pretty cool. I bought one—it was pricey at 12 bucks—and it performed as described. I could twitch next to the shore and then crank it underwater, let it rise, and crank it again.
Sadly, there is no happy ending. The bass were not cooperating on Smith Lake when I tried it out, but they should work. I was disappointed that the smaller version was not ready. At 2″, I think it will be more realistic. The current model is 2.5 inches and feels too big. I am anxious to get the Basswife back on the water to give it another go on a better day. I’ll provide an update.
One thing to note is that although the shopping cart will let you add the smaller version of the lure, there seems to be an issue with its availability. You may encounter an error when you try to check out.
