Tie it on and throw it out. See for yourself. I can assure you that you would of catch a salmon on it.

Yeah mate just try it. I am sure even if you throw a thong, salmon will go for it. As long as they are around...

waste of $$$$.
head to eBay and get them.
$7.30 posted for x5 30gm metal lures.
probably change them trebles and split ring to single and better rings.
will work out cheaper than store specials anyway.
