[QUOTE="DirtyMike, post: 834, member: 229"] Sdmf, I don't think I've been through enough squeaky saloon doors as you have. Traxion, I've caught fish on a few of the blanks that I use. The lipless ones are as good or better than a rippin rap. The shad baits move pretty damn well but need some tuning. The reef runner look alikes move just like a reef runner. Many of the other blanks just don't move well. I don't buy them anymore and am headed more in the direction of doing repaints. There's many discontinued colors that I've done for people or colors that aren't produced by certain companies that people like or have good luck with.
