Black Back was the color. Looks like the real deal and pretty much my favorite color of all 6 that they have. The bait will cast a country mile on a spinning reel with 6lb Flouro. Going to try and cast it out, let is sink and then slow reel it just off the bottom on some deeper round points that usually hold some bigger fish next week at Dale. My guess with slow reeling it, the bite will be similar to a slow rolled spinnerbait at night, which is AWESOME. We will see because after that first cast, I know I am hooked.
I have used it as well for stripers and it has worked when other baits won't. First cast out for me in the back of White Oak I caught a fish with it, I was really suprised to reel up a drum. I have neve caught a drum in Cumberland, it was a first for me. A few weeks later I was fishing white Oak around 3 boats all casting to the same school busting shad left and right. No one got a hit except me I landed 2 stripers with it and they absolutely would not touch anythig else I or the other guys were throwing. It does work for sure.
Works best for me on a Medium bass rod with 12 lb fireline and 12lb floro leader. The feel is much better to get correct speed to make bait flutter. Good luck to all that gets one.
ELNUT I CHANGED MY MIND: That drum would have gone 12lbs!!!!!!!!
Sorry to here that drum got the best of you there Elnut, better luck next time.
Drum love the Flitterbait.

I was in Backwaters (in Lex) earlier and I heard a guy come in asking for them.
I was just in there picking up some jig trailers. I read this post earlier in the day and figured that you had too since you came in asking about them.![]()
OK elwood, was it a big smallie or a drum?I'm ok with drum, but it is always nice to put a big smallie in the boat.
The last two times out, my buddy and I targetted drum on the Ohio river. The sauger weren't biting good so we went to a bank with a lot of rocks and ended up catching 23 drum combined for both trips. All on the Flitterbait. The fish you hooked doesn't sound like a drum to me. The drum we caught were sometimes hard to detect when they hit. None of them swam very fast and they all stayed under the boat bull dogin for the bottom.
