Its not a gimmick,like many mfg they do show the best of their product,it does however work.
First time out caught two fish,one short one keeper all on the front hook,later during spawn they swiped at frogs sometimes grabbing by the legs(any frog) the stinger setup with its double hooks did let me get some in.With the single front hook i can toss into the thickest american lotus and never get hung up,even with the doubles can work it slower in them.The skitters legs perrmit different actions like a popin bug or a horney toad or some all their own like a shallow diver.

Unlike a horny toad when a fish swirls and one doesnt take it you dont have to reel it back in and recast it floats just stop it and twitch.When using the clone version its realistic floating with merely head above water,after pulling forward those legs spring back after stopping creating a secondary action,as a clone frog it is slower than say a spro,but one never ever needs to squeeze it out.Fished with a skitter legs and stinger one can cover the water as quick as a horny toad or buzzbait yet slow it down to a crawl if needed.
I am biased as am a frog man,yet try one.
It does require a different hook set ,upon the flush reel up and tighten and set the hook no waiting,wait like a spro and you will get very little for your efforts.
You can experiment somewhat with the hooks a weedless matzuo 2/0 will work in place of that banjo minnow hook eliminating the rubber band weed guard and stingers can be 2/0 to number one.
