my wonderful fiancee' surprised me with a rapala trolls to minnow (15ft, firetiger) this weekend. turns out the thing has a rattle and has some pretty neat action.

im really curious to know if anyone uses flicker shads up in the Q. whenever i find myself with spare time i end up researching them and ive pretty much heard nothing but good about them. only knock is that the hooks are a bit wimpy and bend out sometimes. (i usually replace the hooks on my cranks right away anyway) there are a lot of neat color patterns as well. im just not sure if they are big enough for up in canoe country. the biggest they go is 3". what are your thoughts?
