True !.......the ones I had would dive, pick up speed, track left/right and then end up on the surface upside down..... GTs would probably go for that ...

especially the go upside down bit! Did you know there is a bass lure that has developed a cult following that actually swims upside down?

Wong Kai Zhee:
one concern would be durability.

cus my experience w yozuri hydro tiger was that they cracked under impact of a big fish (not even GT, just toman aka snakehead).

so, i reckon those plastic minows with precision swimming action will probably not last very long.

 The HALCO Laser Pros have a removable bib [supposedly] by taking out a small pin, got the pin stuck half way out so ground the bib down instead ::), tested in my testing tank [pool] and works really well as standard but much better by having just the bellyhook although I think I'll still use a single rear hook :-\.

PS: Haven't caught the Barracuda yet!

Jon Li:
Mike ,

I works , no doubt about it and have done it many times , what I am saying is that the strike is not spectacular and hence less excitements when you just feel the strike instead of viewing and feel the strike at around about the same time .

Halco Trembler dives too deep for any chance of spray , at least stickbait still produce them and be carefull using any deep diver , might catch the reefs instead of fish .
