asuri tomei minnow??

Hey guys I recently bought these today from a fishing shop that sounds like a snake haha. Just wanted to know if you have any info on them? used them? and if so did they produce the goods? they are a sinking lipless minnow, weighing in at 3.2 grams 50mm and have owner hooks. Packaging is half English half Japanese.
here is a photo I took of them.

Had one in the blue colour before snagging it. Not a bad lure, but very light and thin. Action is very subtle and use light line to keep contact with it. Good construction.Well priced as well. Let us know how you go with it.

I have a few. They haven't done to well on the blacks down where I am but they kill it when I go to jervis bay on the yellows. A good subtle clear water stick bait. IMO.

I have the suspending ones without an internal weight and they look great in the water.

Thanks guys, I will give them a go first chance I get. They look good and that promo video with the GT only makes them better haha. Might have to get a suspending one for finicky fish.

I shall keep you posted on the results.

I've done a comparo with them vs the smith shirasu, similar profile stickbait.
The tomei went straight to the bottom nose down on a slight angle fairly quickly but the smith stayed dead straight with a very seductive flutter and took a lot longer to tech the bottom

Thats what I need. Sometimes if its too slow the current takes it. And I have other stick baits for that slow sink technique. Thanks guys

Storm Flutterstick and Pontoon21 Gagagoon are seriously excellent stickbaits by comparison.
