The skipjacks are great because the fish love them and perform like the more expensive Carpenter and Fisherman lures that are similar in design.

Sorry I said that incorrectly
 I was just using Carpenter and Fisherman as an example for more expensive lures.

I think it is time for you to know my favourite GT lures
My favourite GT popper is the Hammerhead C cup
My favourite sinking Stickbait is the Orion Bigfoot 140
My favourite floating Stickbait is the Orion Nambas 140
But the more Affordable side would be Jai Bighead poppers and Jai Stickbaits

I would recommend working them in a slow to medium speed walk the dog style by doing a couple of small pulls and larger pulls.  When the fish aren't eating big cup faced poppers this will normally work but Orion Lures website has the best way to work their lures

My favourite is the FCL Labo Ebipop EXT 120.

I find it easy to work, durable, affordable and best bit is it doesn't get water logged and sink.

Poppers:
Craftbait GT2, GT3
Mura Mura 
Yozuri Surface Bull GT (when I am tired. gasp!  ;))

Stickbaits:
Orion Big Foot 140
Shimano Ocea (Sinking version)

I like the shape of the Skipjacks. I am sure they would work well too.

I just bought some Carpenter Pandoras, Temple Reef Ballistas etc. Will see if I get goodluck with them too.

The Carpenter Kattobi can be worked the same way to very good effect.
