Fine wire trout singles can be difficult to get in Au. Vanfook do a – Trout Series – CK-33BL but unfortunately the Aussy importer doesn't bring them in.
Can be got on line from Eastackle

Finally had a chance to try these out - the result was interesting...if not a bit dissapointing.
It should be rembered I was wading the shallows at the time useing a light spin outfit with .04 Rockfish and 4lb Vhard leader.

Firstly I would rate the castability at about 5-6 out of 10 - which is probably what you would expect from a small lure weighing only 2.7g with a proportionally large bib and no weight transfer system.

As far as action goes the lure swims with a very head down attitude, at a guess I'd say about 75-80 degrees. At a very slow roll the head section of the lure remains quite stable while the jointed tail section has quite an active wobble. The thing was though anything past a very slow steady roll and the action would blow out altogether. For someone who likes to impart a lot of twitches, pauses and darting motion to lure fishing I found this a bit of a pain to get used to. Might suit some though.

All up the finish is very good and I really like the hardware.
Would I buy them again?...probably not!!!
Suggested uses: bream, whiting, keyring

Cheers Paul

Great review mate, if not but a sad result. It's nice to see an honest insightful review.
