They all catch bream if I was to pick one it would be the atomics, I also like the pointer 48's from luckycraft. It all comes down to personal preference, I would suggest buying one of each and seeing what works for you

I have never fished with the Atomic Hardz to be honest...Lucky craft are a good lure, but I have found SX40s to be most productive for me. Having said that, I tie them on more often than any other hardbody - so you'd expect them to catch the most.

I think SX40 is a very good lure to kick off your campaign with...furthermore, if you would like to fish them a little deeper, you can add a tiny amount of the putty used by fly fisherman to weight their flies (just mould it onto the underside of the body, around the cleat used to secure the split ring). It will allow the lure to slowly sink to whatever dpeth you desire, and, in my opinion, has no detrimental effect on the lure's action.

looks like a good place to have a crack, the sx40 would be good around the structure, havent used the tango, but i do believe its a crank bait (?) would be good to use under the boat hulls.

Atomic Hardz are a range of lures, not just 1, but I think the new surface lure would go alright there as would the lucky craft sammy or even px45 surface lure.

Regards to the colouring of the lures, try and match what the local fish are feeding on, wether it be bait fish, or prawns. Natural colours tend to work the best IMO

Good colours for the atomic shad 40's are ghost wakasagi and ghost gill. The ghost green tiger i think it's called, is an great colour for the pointer 48's.

They'll all work well at times, but around all those boat hulls i would recommend something like gulps or even blades rather than hard bodies

sp,s would probably be the go, skip cast them at the boats so they sink on an angle under the boat rather than straight down, best plastics ive ever used for it are flickbaits in flash prawn or bulky hawgs (r.i.p).

other than that tiemco sinking minnows or the daiwa/smith/luckycraft/nories sinking minnows
