YOU CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE, THEY HAVE MANY MORE OPTIONS FOR PACKAGES THAN THEY OFFER ON THE COMMERCIAL...FROM 20 BUCKS UP TO LIKE 60 BUCKS I THINK....THEY HAVE A PACKAGE THAT HAS LIKE 30 OF EM OR SOMEHTING IN IT......MAN THATS ALOT OF LEAD TO HAUL, BUT...IF YOU ONLY TAKE A FEW..I AM GOING TO GET A SMALL SET AND SPLIT IT WITH MY DAD...HE WOULD LOVE THAT KIND OF THING, HE LIKES TO JUST PUT SOMETHING ON AND CAST IT OUT AND REEL IT IN. IM EXCITED FOR EM, I JUST HAVE TO GET PAID AGAIN SO I CAN ORDER EM.

They have them on bass pro shops website for $2.99 per lure with 4 different sizes: 1/8 1/4 3/8 1/2
That way you could try them out first. What color/size do you think would work best for pelican, or mantua, or maybe newton if there are still bass in there.

I AM SERIOUS ON THESE MAN. THE HOOKS ARE CRAP... BIG TIME AND THE THEY JUST LOOK CHEAP. I DON'T KNOW HOW WELL THEY WILL WORK I WILL TRY IT OUT AND SEE. BUT TO BE HONEST IT IS IN MY CRAP TACKLE PART OF MY BOX.
I JUST SAW IT FOR A BUCK AND SAID WHAT THE HELL. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. STANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED WITH LURES IN THE PAST. I EVEN COUGHT A FISH OFF CHEWING GUM ONCE. LOL

WELL FOR THOSE SMALL WATERS I THINK I WOULD USE THE SMALLEST ONE AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING AND MAYBE GO UP TO THE 1/2oz BY THE END OF SUMMER, SINCE BAITFISH WOULDNT GROW TOO LARGE IN THOSE WATERS ANYWAY. MAYBE ONLY WORKK UP TO THE 3/8oz SIZE...I WOULD WANT ONE OF EACH SIZE IN MY HAND BEFORE MAKING THAT CALL THOUGH JUST TO SEE HOW BIG THE PROFILE OF THE "BLADE" PORTION OF THE LURE IS. IF ITS TIGHT GO WITH THE 1/2, IF ITS KINDA BULGEY AND LARGE STICK TO THE LIGHTER WEIGHT, UNLESS A BIG WIND GET TO YOU THEN KICK IT UP A NOTCH TO THE HEAVIER WEIGHT FOR CASTABILITY.
AS FAR AS COLORS, I LIKE THE LOOK OF THE GLOW PATTERS...THEY HAVE A RED AND A BLUE, I WOULD FAVOR BLUE....AND THE PERCH PATTERN LOOKS GOOD, THEY HAD A BLACK SHAD THAT WOULD BE PROMISING SINCE WE CANT USE THE REAL THING....AROUND UTAH A SHAD PATTERN IS JUST DIFFERENT AND MOST OF THE FISH HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE...COURSE IT COULD GO THE OTHER WAY AND SPOOK EM OFF. THE RED GLOW COULD BE DEADLY ON BIG TROUT THOUGH, MACKS, LAKERS....MAYBE EVEN THE KOKES AT THE GORGE....I KNOW TROUT LIKE THE REDS, AND PINKS...I THINK THAT IS WHAT YOU WOULD GET ON THE RED ONE. AS FOR THE OTHER COLORS I WOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE ONE DEPENDING ON WHAT THE SKY WAS DOING THAT DAY...ON A BRIGHT DAY I WOULD USE THE BRIGHTER COLORS, ON A GLUM DAY I WOULD TEND TO STICK WITH THE MORE NATURAL COLORS SUBDUES LIKE THE LIGHT....AND THE GLOW I WOULD USE ON BRIGHT DAYS, IN DEEP WATER LIKE 40+ FEET, AND ON CLOUDY DAYS ANYPLACE. BUT ON CLOUDY DAYS THE GLOW CAN SPOOK MORE FISH THAN IT GETS STRIKES FROM...SO BE READY FOR SLOWER FISHIN...
AS FAR AS GETTING SINGLES....I THINK ITS A BETTER DEAL TO ORDER THE KIT, YOU GET 11 FOR 20 BUCKS...TO START...WITH A LIGHT TO CHARGE UP THE GLOW ONES, AND THEY HAVE A LITTLE PLASTIC TOTE TO PUT EM IN THAT LOOKS GREAT FOR STORING STUFF IN THE ARM REST OF THE FLOAT TUBE TOO...

I bought the Zip lures that are advertised on TV last fall.
I've tried them in the winter while ice fishing and this spring casting from shore, I've also used them trolling at willard this year and with all that fishing, I have yet to catch a fish with one. I'll give them a better try as the water warms but so far I'm not impressed, they do have a nice action, like a flatfish. With shipping and handling they cost 27.95, I think they are like a lot of fishing stuff on TV, they catch more fishermen than they do fish. I need to try them while trolling for trout and see how they do. I hope you have better luck than I did. WH2

The zip lure is cool, but nothing compares with the Banjo Minnow!!!. If they were as great as the infomercial made them out to be, they'd be selling of the shelves at Hooked and Sportsmans Warehouse. But hey, you never know.
lol, the banjow minnow. Ha!

] GIVE EM A LOOKSEE, I THINK THEY WILL PRODUCE AT THE GORGE, BEARLAKE, DEER CREEK, THE 'NELL, UTAH AND WILLARD BAY! THEY LOOK LIKE SO FIN BREAKING LULRES TO ME.
