I don't necessarily think it's intended to be a vertical jigging bait.  I believe it's intended to be used as a lipless crank, per their website.  If you like jigging rat-l-traps though, it might be something you want to look into.

I fish swimming baits all the time and that is the one bait I can't seem to get to work for me.  They come in to look but that's as close as I get. I even tried it out in the open water season. It drops so fast, it would be nice to get it figured out for lakers.

I love lipless cranks for fall smallies... I'll definitely be giving these a shot next year.  As far as a vertical jigging lure I don't think I'd bother, I'll stick with their Chubby Darter  ;)

 The new Salmo Zipper looks just like a Rattle trap to me, and at twice the price?

I was just looking at buying some of these online, looks like I'm going to pass and go with a couple chubby's.  I'm experimenting this year for sure with them vs the lindy darters.  What are your guys opinions of rattles?  I have had no luck fishing any style of rattle swim bait, but I can't go against what the industry says is a bonafide fish producing gimmick, right?

I tried them last year and got a few lookers but no takers, the northland live forage one worked at times though.

Met a guy that swears by them through the ice. Sinks fast, loud, catches eyes.
