So I put the Kenders T-Rip to use. I actually took the treble off and installed a single hook to fish first.
The larger one I put like a size 6 sproat hook. The smaller one I put an Owner Mosquito size 8. I did fish along side the Kenders K-Rip Micro. Being 3/32 oz. in weight it had more sinking rate than the 1/16 oz. K-Rip Micro. The diminutive size of these lures makes them great forage for bluegill and to my surprise I caught deep water blue gills on the larger of the two. The single hook was very effective for blue gills and worked so much better than a treble hook. Even with the crappie bite, I got solid hook sets on the single hook. I think the best advantage to the single hook was that it was not standing point upwards like typical jig hook. I had the hook more so flat. I was thinking that I would miss a lot of hook set due to that, but it was just fine and probably better.
Because the water was so stained, I couldn't see how the lure would perform down the hole. Within the first feet inside the hole, I see that the T-Rip like to do a slight forward darting. While I'm sure it would just spiral on the fall like how most jigs would from the ice hole. The Kenders T-Rip gets my recommend to buy and try. It has a different profile from normal round/oval lipless crank baits.
Now if they would just make a little bit larger at one full inch.
