Update: I used the 5.5" model exclusively last season. One rod had it rigged at all times - and it was used quite frequently.
I wish I could say it was a great bait, but I cannot. Problem I had with it was that I kept casting off the tail on the darn things! After two packs were destroyed that way, I gave up using them.
Yes, I did catch bass (and pike) with them; nothing extraordinary, but decent fish. I love the action too. If they just made them to withstand just a bit more use, they'd be one of my "go-to's" for sure.
