  (You need to Login or Register were mentioned in the "2nd Week in June" thread.  I ordered a few of the 4 3/4" baits (Perch, Tiger Perch, Bombay & Lime, and Blue Streaker) to try out this year.  When I bought them, they were $3.34 each, but are now on sale for $3.99. These have rattles fore and aft and supposedly have a maximum trolling depth of 28 feet.

Since my on-line purchase, I've made a trip to the local Cabela's store where I picked up a blister pack of 6 3 1/2" Walleye Runners  in a variety of colors for $8.89 in the Bargain Cave.  These have a single rattle toward the head end and troll down to 21 feet.  All versions float.

Hope they produce fish!

I'm almost certain you will not be dissapointed! Without question this is the #1 lure in my box for deepwater walleye......and everything else.
I fish a few lakes that contain ciscoes as the primary forage base and the 4 3/4" model in nat. minnow has accounted for several same day, same lake slams.  

Like you, I also purchased a pack of the 3 1/2" lures that I plan on using on our spring trip in a few weeks. If these produce in 15' like the 4 3/4" version produces in deep water, we'll be happy campers.  :)

Similar to what MT noted in his thread, we routinely catch large, suspended walleye while trolling these lures (fast) over 60-70' main lake basins in early fall.
