I have been throwing a Yozuri Shallow Vibe a lot the last two years.
It does not have a rattle, an advantage on high pressured fish some
times, I think. First time I used it January 07 I won a club
tournamnet with 14 pounds and had a 5.65 big fish.
I use it when the water gets below about 60 degrees - make long casts
and reel it back at different speeds with jerks and pauses. I fish it
over all kinds of bottoms - clay, rock and sand. I like it best in
fairly clear water.
