DDHJerks run better and catch fish better at slower speeds than RR 800's which work better at faster speeds. If you are running 1.6 to 1.8 then you can use both effectively, but any faster the DDHjerks start to blow out a little and the eyes don't seem to like them as well. So at 1.6 or slower The RR 800's are not as effective but still catch fish but they are not as effective only because they don't have that crazy darting side to side action that they are noted for, but as you speed up some they come into their own and go into that crazy darting action that drives eyes crazy.
