Here in pe the guys been nailing the tail off shore with the clones .I see you mentioned the the weights any reason other then your rod you throw with why you like the heavier lures ? I also like there price for what you get I will also be painting them eventually as I fish off the rocks and it destroys paint jobs quickly.
Ya I have seen some serious fish form the Bricks that past couple of weeks .
When fishing form the surf , the heavier the better ,was the call 17 years ago . well we use to say that I suppose its a old grove you struggle to get out of , but to be honest , I like the 1/half ounce model and 2 ounce a lot , it suits the area I am fishing and they don't get snagged up as easily as the heavier brothers ...
Agreed the paint job can be done better , or just a few coats of clear to seal it better .
I will even go as far as to say I am willing to pay more for them if the paint is done better .
They have made some efforts going on what they say , on their FB regarding colours .
