Its a shame when storm made something so realistic that when twiched it actuall swims the wrong way. Bass Yabbies / Nippers actually swim forward with their nipper in the air. Im not sure I've ever seen one swim "prawn" style backwards. Anybody else ever seen them swim backwards ?

That might be so, but when they jump or spring, they actually go backward... so when you're lifting your rod, that is the action it is mimicing... And i'm sure that what storm wanted to do...

If u dont like they way they have been pre-rigged, do what I do and that is remove the hook and add your own jighead, preferrably1/16 or 1/32 . Works fine for me. Ive caught a few bream but not only becuase I havent given them a work out. I prefer Hbs.

Im waiting to use them next week on the rising tide on the sand flats at Wonboyn NSW. i have no doubt that they will work well in areas where the bass nipper can be pumped. I'll try to attached some pics when I get back.
