Thanks Flash and PJ !
The depths vary with the bottom two lures going only 1-2' for the shallow weed beds ,the rest pretty much dive to the usual 2-4' as a Rapala would with the static and sinking lures going slightly deeper .
They are also slightly heavier than the Rapala counterparts in the same length so should cast well being slimmer profiles too Thumbs Up

I hope they nail a few Danish Trutta PJ !
The Tas fish seem to like them and you Danish seem to like anything Tasmanian ,especially our good looking girls named (Queen) Mary  Thumbs Up

No worries MXB ,i will put aside one of the Highland Killers in Dog format for you ,great action and they dive around 6' casting and around 8'+ on the troll Wink
That particular model was a stand out at Arthurs Thumbs Up

Dave - Those 'Brown trout ' patterns are certainly working up here at the moment, Jindabine is fireing, with 3-4-5-6-and even 7 lb Browns getting snared on them, fat a whales too.
Love your work.
Pete.
