Philly 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2015 Very nice. They do remind me of the Yozuri lures as Dave mentioned. And if they catch fish like the Yozuri's do the one or two times a year I use them you've got some real winners there. I like that unfinished one at the top, and the pink and purple combinations would do a number on the weakfish up here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antonio999us 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2016 Hello to all, Thank you very much for your comments... Mikechell I like the blue ones as well, I have made very good captures with them. Those ones with shocking colours are very effective here when we have sunny conditions and sometimes with muddy waters.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
