Let me start by saying these lures are a STEAL for the price. I've used dozens of soft plastic baits, and the Syosisny set delivers shockingly good performance despite some minor flaws.

The lifelike details blew me away - those 3D eyes and forked tails look absolutely convincing in the water. I noticed fish striking more aggressively compared to my usual lures, especially in murky conditions where the sequin flashes really stand out.

Now for the not-so-great: Yes, some eyes do fall off (happened with about 5 of my 50), and there's that infamous chemical smell fresh out of package. Pro tip - soak them in attractant for a few days like I did. After that treatment, they performed beautifully in both freshwater and saltwater tests.

Where these baits shine? Bass fishing! Landed three nice largemouths on my first outing using a simple Texas rig. The action on the split tail creates perfect vibration without needing fancy retrieval techniques.

Durability surprised me - each bait lasted through multiple catches before showing significant damage. For budget-conscious anglers who go through lures quickly, this 50-pack is a no-brainer despite the minor quality control issues.
