mostly try it for thornback ray and huss but i am sure it would take tope. it has its day. smaller species should take it but i haven't given it a fair trial for them yet. it should work as a sight bait in clear water as it really catches the light.

they are cool to catch. they should work well for whiting through the autumn/winter.
