Ben77 Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Once the wife gave me the green light too go fish today I ran like the wind! First I used a wacky worm and then a ned rig but nothing. Then I rigged a clear chartreuse dark sleeper and it was on! Now I see why this bait gets the hype go get some! 2 Quote

Bright side: at least you've got a boat! Quote

Super User NHBull Posted June 21, 2021 Super User Posted June 21, 2021 I too fell in love with this bait this Spring and it comes through cover far better than I expected Quote

(Debit card fell out of my wallet just now and there’s only one thing to do…) thanks guys. I'm still resisting...mainly because my wallet has cobwebs and my card is screaming in agony. Maybe this Yule when I get Gift-Certs and checks from the relatives... Quote
HaydenS Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 3rd-4th cast ever with a dark sleeper, in March. I've got three in my boxes right now. Great little lures! 3 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 21, 2021 Global Moderator Posted June 21, 2021 I've gone through 3 of them and haven't caught a fish with them yet. Last one got ripped to shreds and the head pulled out, never did hook a fish with it. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted June 21, 2021 Super User Posted June 21, 2021 I have a love hate relationship with this bait. It's a fish catching machine but it's also a snag magnet. I loose one evertime I fish it. It snags limbs easily and it also gets wedged into rocks. One other thing, the eyes suck. Each one I have used, the eyes fall off after a few casts. . 1 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted June 22, 2021 Global Moderator Posted June 22, 2021 I really can’t use a snaggy bait, I come from the land of logs and rocks Quote

Super User Darth-Baiter Posted June 22, 2021 Super User Posted June 22, 2021 To date I’m fishless on the dark sleeper. I keep trying tho. I don’t buy knockoffs. It hurts the manufacturers. Just my opinion. Quote

I really like the bait, but it is rare that I'm not running into, around, over and through wood....so I snag these too often. 1 Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted June 22, 2021 Super User Posted June 22, 2021 First year I used them had great success but last year and so far this year Ive nearly been fishless with them. The hooks also need a quick go over to check sharpness and have a couple that dont run true. Quote
EWREX Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 i have 6 of them (3 different colors of 3/8 and 1/2oz) and have fished them quite a bit. i literally cannot get anything to bite them Quote
