They work great.

Did a quick websearch for the Seafloor Control jigs - the only place I could find them in the US was from someone on Ebay - for $30 apiece.

Hmmmm, first post is promoting a jig only available on ebay? Ya think?

I'm just offering my honest expeience as the post is asking for. If anybody feels I'm a jig seller, plz just ignore what I've said and go on with your favorite flat fall. I'm a jigger and I use many different brand of jigs, what I mentioned is just one if them.

Lots of good stuff in this thread. The key point is if the boat is fishing deep, your flatfalls have to get down at about the same rate as what others are using or there will be ugly tangles. :-(
Flatfalls will take most everything at the right time from sharks to snapper to YT. They won't necessarily be the best all the time. Example: irons typically "swim" better so can be more productive on near-surface fish.
There are some great painted/printed/adhesive finishes on flatfalls that get scarred, chewed off and otherwise damaged in use.
Finally, as a great Norwegian trout fisherman sagely remarked, 100% of the fish are caught...on what the fishermen are using. :-)
Good luck and tight lines!

For the record, I only picked up one "flat fall," a glow one in 160g. I'll throw that first thing in the grey light and only if we are on a spot with very little drift.

Besides the typical meat hunting rig, everything else I'll be throwing will be squish jig/colt sniper for suspended fish, a few variants of surface iron for topwater fish, and an occasional 2oz swimbait to try if the bottom fishing gets boring.

I'll let you guys know how it goes!
