Here's my experience - last year spent what I consider alot for a 100g shimano flatfall, and put it on my rod with the Calcutta 400 just before the San Quintin halibut trip.

While there the first day decided that I'd like to see how the thing casts, so went out to the bank next to the resturant and took a cast. "Hey, this thing casts great!" I thought - then I took my second cast, birdnested the reel, and watched the flatfall break off and fly into oblivion.

Thats my only experience using the flatfall jig.

Did pick up a 5 pack of the cheap chinese clones at the Fred Hall show this year, but have not had a chance to fish them yet.
