Smallest bass caught on one would have been stretching to reach 10 cm.

Lucky for him I already had one in my tank.

I also still have a few.
I use them as a mini lure by adding a split shot a 10 centimetres or so in front of the fly.
Great for skinny water luring where you're only casting short distances.

The 65 mm is my go to flathead lure. 
I remove both trebles and run a single hook in the rear hanger.
Makes it much easier to release fish.

You can still get them direct from the maker in 65mm, 85mm & 105mm
but I have not seen one of that size before!
