DU, I've seen two break, one on a dock, barley hit it and it shattered,
the other blew up on a northern, cracked and hooks pulled out..
I'll never buy one......

Last year a buddy of mine bought one at Ye Olde Tackle in North Webster Indiana and they told him that at least 80% of the large Polish Perch were sent back because the lips would fall out. But now I think they fixed that defect but I don't know for sure. They sure do look nice though.

Hi Guys, Queenie and I bought two at ye olde tackle shop. First cast the wife has up a very big fish,chased the lure thru three figure 8's no strike. Second cast the diving lip breaks off when the lure hits the water. Very poor lip design. Ye olde Tackle shop replaced it. I am going to try replacing the bills with lexan after they break. They sure look good but if they bust up they are not worth a dollar. Im sure Gapens is not pleased with this lures durability and improvments are coming. They will move big fish as we have seen.

I bought the Polish Pike and had the lip/half of the head break off. Very disappointing! It looks just like a baby pike in the water. Oh well.
