I've got all the sizes in the pilchard blue colour. So far not much luck on them, only a few Salmon but that's not the lures fault, it's mine for being lazy! :pThe action on them is really, really distinctive and I could see them being used on just about any predatory fish including Kingies, Mulloway and even small Tuna.

I refused to buy them after they photo-shopped one into a snappers maouth on the cover of a fishing mag. Absolutely pathetic advertising from Shimano. I'll try and find the mag and scan the cover up, its a joke. Even when they used them on barra up north on I-fish, the shimano dude was struggling to get fish.

got the pilchard colour use the smaller size in west lakes. Caught heaps of bream and salmon trout. They look good when swimming through the water, cant comment on the bigger size lures tho.

So far I've got one or two in each size of varying colours. I've caught salmon and tommies on the smaller ones 48 and 58 plus larger salmon on the bigger ones. I would say that common targets would be pelagics like the salmon, kingfish, etc possibly tuna with the largest waxwing. I also think that snook would be a viable target.
