Anyone seen these?? Cotton Cordell makes them and they have a great big 'ol eye on them. If they work as good as Wally divers work for me, I cant wait to try them. What do you guys think?

I found them on Lurenet.com. You can check them out there at http://www.lurenet.com/Search.aspx?find=Grappler%20Shads. Scroll down a little and you'll see all the colors.

These lures look really good. I wonder if they have the same action as the Ripshads. Really like the Ripshads, but the constant tuning gets to be a nuisance. Ran a flame colored Ripshad during a tournament last year, and my partner watched as the lure put all but 1 of our weigh fish in the boat the first day. By the second day the lure was junk by mid morning, being that I could not tune the lure at all. Of course, I only had 1 in that color!!!
Will have to pick up a few of these Grapplers and compare actions. I am a big fan of Wally Divers and the fact that you do not have to contantly tune them.

YES..those rip shads run very poorly but would be good if you didnt have to tune them so much. On the other hand...I have never had to tune a Wally Diver and if these run like those...Great!

These are great baits, I caught fish on them trolling and casting. They run good out of the box and stay tuned very well. Also took a good beating against the bottom. I will deffinitly fill one box with Grapplers.
