Howdy Bob,
Yes the 3 oz. does pull the board back and I'm sure it would be a lot worse on rougher water. But it doesn't pull as hard as a TT40 and a spoon. So, Im pretty sold on it. On these real hot sunny days I think the fish stay down, where as other times the active ones are mid column. I have a couple of those Yo-Zuri's Just have not tried them. Not custom though, but they are so freaky looking I doubt any fish will recognize them from a past incident. I will have to do the measures and see just where that put the Bandit with what I was using.
