Howzit....I'm still a newbie at whipping MW lures. Still waiting for a photo op...know what I mean? (Catching Oahu right now..lol). But I just love the lures! I got a 9' Ugly (light action) and an old Daiwa reel. I get some chasers and occassional missed strikes which is a thrill for me but I think I need to get the lures our further for more exposure in the water. Just my 2 cents.....Aloha and happy whippin'
