This is one of the smaller ones @ 55grams I picked up for my tuna trip. Didnt end up using it but hopefully next trip out. They look pretty cool !!

Nice lure, i have used the larger Realbaits but not the smaller ones, do they swim as good as the larger ones?

Dont know Brock...Didnt get a chance to throw it off the boat as I was using some larger lures first , and then went to cubing. Im going to test it out locally landbased to see its action.Actually,I might go to my sisters place and test it out in her swimming pool to get a really good look. That way I wont lose it first cast to a kingie or a stupid salmon.
