Used the maggie a while ago now, was my first stickbait for GTs and pretty sure the record landbased GT was caught on this brand, could be wrong. Good lure swam well in rough conditions and caught fish.

Maggy Gara have been around longer than most brands of GT lures. The stickbait was one of the first GT stickbaits that were widely available. They're ok but not great IMHO. The lure swims better if you put a couple of drops of superglue in the front swivel to lock it.

On the Black Engineering lures, they bear more than a passing resemblance ti the Garyukobo lures, not to mention the use of identical names. No idea what they are though.
