Disadvantages: you might want to change the o rings before use
"I am 14 and i bought this lure out of curiosity and everyone thought i was crazy for buying a lure this big. but on august 3 2009 i sure proved them wrong. we take a vacation to White River Canada and I brought my Z-9 swimbait. i ended up catching 2 lunker pike. one (the biggest) was 23Lbs and 47in and the other was 16Lbs and 40in. When we got back from Canada everyone got a Z-9 swimbait and mine almost got destroyed because of all the monster pike. but i would recommend this lure to anyone. this was also the most lifelike lure ever. This is a picture is of me and my two monster pike."
"If you have been putting off gettting in on the swimbait craze then its time to jump on the band wagon. The Z9R has amazingly realistic action, a high quality finish, and premium black nickel hooks. Whether you burn it or slow roll it the bait has a great swiming action. Its slow sink rate allows you to work it from just under the surface on down. Great features at a great price making it easy to start swimbaiting."
