Hoses used to one of my favorite lures. There is an art to getting just the right curve so them swim correctly.
I have them from 6 inches out to some 36 inch '' snakes ". All caught fish years ago but the last 4-5 seasons they have not produced as well.
I still run 1-2 - often about 12 to 14 inches long. It will catch 16 inch to 40 inch Rock plus Blues. Even caught some Speckled Trout and Weakfish ( sea trout ) on them.
One problem is finding a good hose. Not many shops are making them and some of the hoses out there use the wrong wire - IMHO.
The small 6 to 8 inchers are deadly when the May Worm hatch is one. Two bounces off bottom is deadly in 25 to 35 feet of water.
