Yes i have used a few different colors of this lure, the most successful one so far is the shallow diving black/fluro orage bottom version in light brown dity water.. Smashed my biggest bream on these. they also have proven to be one of my favorite lures, they have a really good action to them. Very tight fast wobble to them.

they arent bad but ive found the smith camion and camion drege are better, especially the gold in murky waters.

thanks fellas,
just out of interest, did you leave the single hooks on or change them?

i left them on at first and got a few but when i changed them over i found i was gettin less hits but better hook up rate. i then put sticky weight on and made it a slow sink and it worked until i lost it 5th cast
just as before, trian and error mate

G'day Shuggy,
thats gotta suck.
interesting about the less hits with trebles huh?

i think its coz of the weight difference in the hooks changed the action. or maybe the fish just left. either way i dont hav it anymore haha. im just stickin wit the smiths camions for the moment. something else to try night be the new mini jig hooks we got in our shop yesterday, they are sort of like the gamakatsu g-stinger but all Japan made.

yeah an stock barbless hooks are great i love them, very sharp too.. however big bream bust them up good. i had a hot the other day with a brand new lure, just a hit not a hookup and when i pulled my lure in , fark.. front hook all kinds of bent and DohDohDohDoh... must have been a godzilla bream..
