Anyone use these with much sucess fr bass in esturtys and ny tips for retrieve ?

They are lethal. Either bounced in the current as you would any soft plastic or, and believe me this works, rig them weedless, weightless and cast them into the current in the estuary and simply allow them to be taken along the bottom until you need to retrieve. Honestly this method accounts for some serious fish, both Bass and Trout.
I find that a gentle lift and drop and maintaining contact with the lure works far better than an erratic aggressive lift. So on the clock lifting from 9pm -11pm rather than 9pm to 2am if that makes sense.

The link below is Henry getting quite excited about them but not without reason.

Even better when weightless in conjunction with a bullet weight 8-10 in front. The noise of the lead hitting the bottom is a nice attractor.

Yeah that's what I meant by " as you would any soft plastic". That disturbance when it hist the sand must surely look similar to how a sandeel enters or exits the sand.

where there is a strong tidal current would weighing the jelly help keeping it from quickly getting swept away and actually having a chance of getting to the bottom???

[Eoghan]

Yeah that's what we are saying above, "Either bounced in the current as you would any soft plastic" a typical Soft Plastic weighted and bounced on the bottom. What I said after that was the weightless option but obviously in too strong a current this wont work. Typically in very strong current I look out for ambush points like rocks/structure that the bass will use.
