I've caught some good stripers on the shallow one. You can pull one behind a planer board up close to the bank and catch all sorts of fish but especially walleye at dusk. The stripes love the red and white one at night. The big hybrids in the Ohio River go nuts over it too along with largemouth and even sauger. It's a fun bait to throw when they are shallow. I haven't tried the deep runner much.
