OK...I'll try a little harder...

For winter runs especially, I use them pretty much the entire time I don't have a spoon on...about half the time, depending on where I'm fishing.

I driftfish with them, or drag them around in the boat...and while I think they really shine when the water is colored up a bit due to their large profile, I have no problem using them in gin clear water, either, I just size them down a bit.

Here's an article I wrote a few years ago about fishing them:
