That thing looks killer!  Another great design!

How would you fish it; punching grass beds?

Would this flipster or the glider be close to this bait?

I have a sample and it more beaver like with a segmented paddle tail.  I can see flippin and shakey head - maybe a little drop shot too (bigger hook).  You could throw a darter head on it and skip it under docks - lots of possibilities.

It is definitely wider than the glider.  The glider is more grub like in the body.  This bait is meaty'er body and tail.

This is a request bait for punching grass, pitching, flipping, jig trailer, scrounger head, etc.  The bug style body has the profile of a bait fish and will also slow down the fall when flipping. 

The request was for the Berkley Devil Spear (http://www.berkley-fishing.com/products/soft-bait/havoc/devil-spear (http://www.berkley-fishing.com/products/soft-bait/havoc/devil-spear)).

This bait will produce in a similar fashion with the addition of the slower fall and gliding motion as it does fall.

Tight lines!

Had a bunch of guys show me the Devils Spear so i had Jason whip this up. Shoots great. Samples are being tested in 6 states at the moment and the guys love them. Gives you a bait with some bulk but less action in the tail if they want a more subtle presentation. We used them on smallies on Sturgeon Bay 2 days after i received the molds. Those bronze fish knocked the hell out of them. Great goby imatator i guess.

Randy:

So the action is subtle? The Devil's Spear tail is pretty lively and action packed. I guess due to how thin it is and the ribs. Good to hear these catch though! You know me and my mat punching!!!!!!! Always checking out things I can get through the thich stuff.

Ya Jim. I will get you some. The Devils Tail has a bit more action to it, But for punching think subtle but bulky. Was throwing them as a jig trailer this last week on the river. Worked nice for a trailer. Only 3 fish of about 14'' each. But with a cold front on us and the water clearing up; less action seemed to get the bites.

The main problem I see with the Devil Spear is the transition from Body to Tail.  That plastic is necked-down so skinny, it wouldn't take much...short strike, a nick and a head shake, You name it...that tail is coming off.  Jason hit the nail on the head with the Flipster.
