Has anyone tried this lure and have you had any luck with it.
The host of PBS's Streamside seems to love it.

If you want to try it, I still have a couple of kits that I hardly ever used.
When hell freezes over, I'll be there icefishing!!!
If you can't stand behind our troops,
Please feel free to stand in front of them!!!
Experience is that marvellous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again

Flyin' Lure input...
I've only used a Flying Lure once before, down on a lake in the Kingston area, years ago when they first came out. The pickings had been slim so far when my best buddy Bruce asked me if I wanted to try one from his kit that he had just picked up. Our sonar showed a school of something, at 29 feet, over a 48 foot bottom, so I jumped at the chance to try this new concept out!
I went finesse style first, like I'm prone to do with lots of stuff, and chose a 1/8 oz head coupled with a watermelon, gold flaky, flyin' body. I flipped it out about twenty feet so I could easily follow it's semi-slack decent with my Polaroids on and pulled another twenty five or thirty feet of mono off the reel. Then I dropped my finger to the lip of the spool to stop any more line from coming off yet, bail still open. Well, this totally genius little piece of plastic and lead began it's slow, swim towards the dark-side.
And... What was neat as well, was how it was actually moving slowly downward and outward in an ever growing big circle. So, by the time the semi-slack line barely started to tighten again, telling me I had used up all the line right to the reel spool, I let out another six feet of line and let her, "free fall" this time.
Tonk! Is about the best way that I can describe that deep down there "hit" when a Smallie snatches up your jig. I like to think that it's the sound/feel of the lead head hitting the back of the bass throat as he plum Inhales this real easy, helpless looking little target.
Well anyway, I had just closed the bail and was waiting for the feel of the slight weight of that little swimming head again, when, Tic! S-w-e-e-p S-e-t while reeling quickly, without any drag slippage, brought up a 15 inch plus small-jaws that cleared the water by at least 4 feet then back in and then back out again in the batting of an eye, for another catapulting sky-show, that these great brown Bass are famous for!
Well, Bruce and I did o.k. by the end of the afternoon after all and I, my fellow Fish-Hawk friends, had developed a very strong "attachment" to that chewed up little piece of flyin' lead and plastic!
You see, I'm also a firm believer in high faith baits or confidence lures. You know the ones, don't you? The ones that have performed consistently, whenever you really needed some fish, or a single bite even, to help put you on to a pattern of some kind. Well This folks then, is a Confidence lure for this ol' puppy.
* In my estimation, this is NOT a "pocket fisherman" or "rocket rod" or other k-tell krappola type of marketing junk but instead this Flying Critter concept is still ahead of it's time. So boys and girls, Do Not be afraid to use this very cool fishing tool if you like to fish docks or deep water at least.
