Here is what I have found with my Fear Factor. I keep it dulled with a green scotch brite pad, and try to save it only for floods, when nothing else in my bag moves. For me, it seems to move more on oil than my other equipment, but does not carry well. I seem to notice just about everything, 10's, 7's, even occasional pocket 5 pins. I'm sure this could be from too much surface, but i only use it when my Rule and Animal won't move, so I need the extra grip on the lane. My Swamp Monster, and Flash Flood seem to carry a little better on heavier oil, so the Fear Factor may just not be a good match for me, but overall hooks on the oil, just doesn't carry for me.
