This is a 'Proto', which is about my fourth attempt over as many years- just can't let them go Wink.
I made this one for Whiting but who knows with this fish, sometimes we win, usually we lose.
 
Weighted 'slow sink' in brackish water.
Weight 8gm
Length 8cm
'Weedless hook'

WOW 61 Pete, You are not just a pretty face Wink
I really like the hidden hook principle, and the pinned quick clip tow is left of centre as well Thumbs Up

Hope it does the trick on those finicky chinese fish

Thanks fellas, I just hope the fish are as impressed LOL.
To make and fit the hardware probably took longer than the lure took to make and finish, not sure I like the legs but needed something to stabilise the lure on the bottom.
