With all the wart talk, I went back in the basement and grabbed these three thin fins. What's the scoop on these things, good bad or other? I also have some Risto Raps somewhere too.

Hard to cast but they catch fish  . They were one of my favorite lures when fishing farm ponds . 

 

I have a heavier rattlin Thin Fin that works real well .

Cool I might throw some hooks on them and try them around sdocks this spring when the weeds aren't up yet and I won't need to cast very far.

Never used them on bass but salmon sure love them!

 

They are terrible to cast!

I'm not sure what the scoop is on these baits. I'd give em a go. Let's sip some of that Bacardi tho

I have an old one (pre switch) that casts well and has caught many a bass (color bleeding shad).  I own three newer ones and they come with crap hooks and feel flimsy and they do not cast well at all. 

 

For me I still like throwing my old one over shallow weeds and around rocks when I want a tight shake to my cranks.  I think the flat sides give a real nice profile and many a bass seems to agree.

This goofy lure really does work and will catch bass,pike and trout.  Best way to use is to slowly troll. I'm partial to the blue and silver in the 2.5" size.

 

Good luck.

I have a few, they're good fish catchers, probably one of the worse casting baits I've ever fished though.

I would try throwing them. They do catch fish. It is like trying to cast a pringles potato chip, but they do work.
