they would be nice if you take a dremel and make the hole in the back to insert the bill, i would think the profile on those might be a little bulky with a hoo behind it and if a side swell pushed the bait to the side or gives slack you could see the beak of the hoo laying on the side, if those babies has an opening on the back about 1/2 the diameter of the back end of the head and you could slam a hoos head up that ass, i think they would run dreamy.. i like deep baits, only problem i have is it seems everytime i put out a 5 - 8oz lure and damn white comes up and i cant see his ass and he sticks himself and swims off. lol

We are working on that...... The opening is large enough for a guy like yourself to insert the bill. I admit, it may not be ideal for somebody thjat does not do it all of the time.

Lately, most of our fish are coming deep. The whites have been insane this year. I remember the days of just hoping to SEE one in the spread........ now they are like bluefish.

trying to kill big eyes and you get the mystery swats, then you see em, but by the time they come off that long rigger 8 ft under water, they are already stung and just hanging out for a few then dip off, pains in the asses.

Those look good, i like to looks of them, might have to give one a shot, any with skirts left?

I would also like to add, anyone using these, do yourself a favor and do not pin rig, there will be to much showing, use floss or just good old copper wire and you will be just fine! if the opening is big enough, leave a 1/4 inch of bill and stuff it up in there.

Have more coming later this week. I pretty much have most of the Black Bart Skirts.....if you know what color you would want? That Yellowfin Skirt is my favorite.
