Where's a saltwater expert when you need one?

Darters are very popular in the states for good reason.
Yo-zuri have even made them for the US market.
Methinks they would work for any number of species.
I like the fact that you have a diving lure without the weather-vane of a lip sticking out.

Pffft, how do I embed a video into a post so it doesn't take you to another web page?
