    Love flippin a dark sleeper around docks and around lay downs on the bank from my kayak. At first I thought Iā€™d get it snagged up but the fin hook guard is killer!
  • @markhausner5853
    I have one of these and itā€™s about as weedless as a crankbait
  • Just ordered a few on Tackle Warehouseā€¦ Iā€™ll give em a go on my annual fishing trip to Tennessee this coming March šŸ‘
  • @joaotorres2810
    Love the dark sleeper straight up catches bass all sizes
  • If I was into bass fishing, most definitely I would use this type of lure or jig. I'm only into trout fishing. Still this lure or jig looks awesome

    Anything i discovered this past summer is how well the dark sleeper skips. Amazing how far I can skip this thing. As always, thanks for there great advice!
  • @samlove933
    can you show more pond or shore fishing techniques for your lures and gear?

    This bait is soooo easy to skip and even better because it doesnā€™t make a loud sound if I accidentally hit the metal parts of a docks or boat lift.
