Reaction innovations Skinny Dipper

[3125gauge]

How many of you guys have tried the skinny dipper.  What did you think?  How did you rig it? What was your most successful retrieve?  I just got some and haven't had a chance to use them yet.

They give a review of the bait.

Thanks for the link, but yes I've read the review, I just wondered how some of you were doing with it.

I have tried the Skinny Dipper and am very dissapointed.   Big waste of money for a lure that is lacking in both  performance and durability.   I would like to hear other's experience with this........  I'm starting to wonder why some of these products  are featured on Tackletour.... I would never score this lure as high as they did..  JMHO

I tried a sample I received from a fishing friend. We used them in conjunction with Zoom Super Flukes one day while fishing for smallies on a local river. We fished the SD weightless and texas rigged just as we fished flukes. When retreiving the SD we imparted small jerks on some casts on others a straight retreive. The SD caught just as many smallies as the flukes on that day. I liked the action and could see potential for fishing it over grass and around other cover.

I found no problem with durability, I caught several fish on the one that I used.

I've used them several times and caught quite a few fish on them.  I was basically swimming them over submerged grass.

I did not have a durability problem with the bait.  In fact, I made a few trips to the test pond and caught fish each trip using the same bait.  I was rigging them on a Mustad Impact Ultralock hook and the nose of the bait would just slide off the plastic barb on the hookset sometimes, but I would just slide it back on and back to fishing.

Good baits IMO.

I have used them a couple times with a 5/0 Gammie superline and Owner Twistlock 5/0 but I would recommend using the Owner Twistlock it is definetly a great bait.
