Yep, brilliant lure but as with any fishing if the fish aint there they don't catch anything. Allows a baitcaster to pretend he/she is a fly fisher. I generally only use the green and white and the pink and white. I have caught estuary cod, trevally, and queenies on them. I am sure the pink one in the right place would be as good as the legendary "pink thing" that the swoffers use for barra. They allow you to fish a deeper part of the water column. Use very short sharp jerky retrieve off the bottom, let it settle and do it again. Some times a slow steady retrieve works as well. Oh, I've also caught a rat tailed stingray on it too but I think he just swam over it as I got his wing. All fish were caught in Townsville Harbour around rocks and pilons.
