I've been able to use the Bobaras on a couple of trips now. They are the next evolution in the Heru/Backjack/Nomad stickbait range, a sinking stickbait. They come at present in a 50gm, 100gm and 150gm range. They are more aerodynamic than the current Heru stickbaits and their weighting leads to them casting exceptionally well.
The rear wire loop is now horizontally angled which lends itself to easily running a single at the rear if desired without the need for two split rings to achieve balance.
The 50gm versions are a great size for kingfish, mahi mahi and wahoo, and could even work well for impoundement barra, although I haven't had the opportunity to try that.
The 100 and 150 have worked a treat for me with GT's in mind, and have also drawn their share of red bass & trout. The 150gm model is 23cm, the 100gm is about 20cm. The 50gm jobbie is about 14cm in length.
They are a similiar lure to an Orion Bigfoot in action, but don't sink quite so fast. I do find them a lot easier to work and move.
You should be able to find them through Bluewater in the west and from Nomad on the east.
