you can see the tail weight and the 2 tungsten clicker balls inside. This one still has the original trebles, I usually upgrade to Owners and tie my own feathers on them. The fine Daichi style hooks as std have succumbed to larger nasty bream, and there is often Est. Cod and Jacks where I Bream fish and they make sort work of the std hooks.
Interestingly we also discovered the great sport of Squid poppering whilst testing these. We were fishing around one of the big islands in Moreton Bay and catching some bream as they staged up over the rock ledges into the shallows. Casting up into a foot of water we often had subtle takes that never hooked up, it wasn't till I left the lure sit there and we watched as a squid siddled up alongside it and lovingly wrapped a tentacle over it. The trick was to wait until it had a couple of tentacles around the lure then give a quick jerk to hook the trebles in and then retrieve. If you think Bream go, you should try an angry jet propelled cephlapod
at least they dropped all the ink by the time you net them....mmmmm calamariiiiii mmmmmm
