Personally, I'd have to say I was very dissapointed with them. Went wrecking a couple of weeks ago & even the pout didn't take them. Fresh mackerel beat them hands down.
Will give them another go sometime, but these things happen!!! confused

I used the Bluey for the first time on my last Orford trip. Unles there is a resounding shift in the experience of its use, I shall not be using it again.
I found it to be less durable than mackeral, washing out far quicker. I used it on it's own with elastic and tipping off other baits but I wasn't impressed.

Saying that though, each to their own.
