...do they work good?
Well, yes and no - at least for me tonight. Went 0 for 3 this evening. One was on a tip-up with a 4 inch shiner. The other two were on a red glow Flyer spoon. First fish was a tank that came in suspended 10 feet off the bottom. Reeled the jig up above the fish, and it followed it up another 10 feet before it hit. Unfortunately, I was holding the rod tip pretty high while teasing it up, and didn't get a good hook set. Lost it just below the hole. Second one hit a few minutes later on the bottom. That one wasn't as big, but would have been a keeper based on the fight and the mark on the graph. That one popped off about about 3/4 of the way up.
The hooks could be a little bigger - at least that's my excuse for tonight, (couldn't possibly have been operator error!) First thing tomorrow - new, bigger hooks on all my Flyer spoons!
