Nicholas Berry –
The Chrome Alewife (UV) looks sharp and holds up well in the water. I used it in a lake during early spring and caught a few fish. The rigged version made setup quick and effective.
Sean Hamilton –
Great color and realistic action. The UV finish stands out in low light. I prefer the unrigged version for customizing the presentation to match my fishing style.
Yvonne Taylor –
Highly satisfied with the quality and durability. The silicone doesn’t break or lose shape even after several hours in the water. Works well in both still and moving water.
