Do you chaps think that this will work?
I guess it will work for saltwater but in rivers or dams?

How good is that Puffer fish imitation, looks like a proper Tobby!!
simple yet effective innovations, cant see why it wont work in fresh water, can see some awesome bait fish patterns emerging here, and so many tiger patterns!!

Thats a beaut! If used in the salt that would imitate a puffer perfectly, what fish feed on puffers though?

I am sure you can modify the patterns, make it slimmer and so on.
I want to try it in an estuary or 2 over December

I think most fish feed on them, we find them in dorado all the time.

Check out this articulated fish spine fly in a pool.
The movement is great and looks just so real.
