Ilander's Iland Hood and Hoo-La-Hood

[Buckwheat]

Does anyone have a comment about Ilander's Iland Hood (without hair) or their Hoo-La-Hood (with hair) for use with ballyhoo?

Was fooling around with one the other day in a tackle store and it seemed like a very quick and easy way to rig a hoo for trolling when I realized that I have read tons of posts about people using the regular Ilander, Express, Sailure, Jr, Flasher, etc but never have read about anyone using them or even trying one. I did several searches but all turned up zero replies.

I'm real curious as to why no one champions their use. Are they worth buying to try or am I the last one in the world that doesn't know about them?

Any advice/insight/comments welcomed.

I've dragged both, with a much higher success rate on the regular Illanders. Matter of fact, I can't remember every catching anything on the hoods

The bait action is completely different between the 2. The hoods run below the surface

Thanks DD. I appreciate the comeback and I'll save my $$$$$$$ and time!
