Yip. they dig very well and make a lot of noise. should definitely work for kobbies and the Garrick if they feeding lower in the column.

+1 - swims well, good wobble and flash etc but it doesn't cast particularly well whatever they call it.

I would suggest  the storm lipped lures ,( one similar to the max rap  I think Long thin with three hooks )  half the price of rapala , works just aswell , and for sure cast beter .


However above mentioned will work very well for leer vis and elf , as they dont dive so deep tank max 1.5 m .




Other lures you might have a look at too is a strike pro , think its also 50 grams 14 cm , dirt cheap .


Or get yourself a couple of clones , those catch anything KOB , leerie elf . Cast like a bullet and it's lekker as its a locally made lure .

Clones come in some really cool colours...
