Same question as with the hard plastics thread.

Anyone find anything new to them, or was it an 'old faithful' ?

Mine has to be the 5 inch z-man jerk shadz discovered rigging them on a 90° hook and a nail weight, I had my best fish with them fishing them this way. I had a great time with them on calm days and a light rod until the weather turned. They also worked at night.

Also the keitech shad impacts but they were not so robust and would only last one fish.

The small Savage Gear Sandeel Weedless V2 in white, has accounted for 80% of all fish this year in what is my first full season. I had fish to 75cm on it by simply casting out letting it sink to bottom and then a slowish straight retrieve about 1 turn a second on my 2500 size reel with tip low.
No pauses, twitches or anything, just a constant straight retrieve and they find it especially at night.

Westin Sandy Andy in pink this year. I've got it in various colours including white but for some reason, pink seemed to be the colour of choice. I know a lot rant about the SG sandeel but I just don't get on with it.

I've noticed that the FBM doesn't get mentioned in reports as much as it once did.

Since they first came out with the articulated jighead design, plenty of other companies have made their own versions and seriously undercut them on price.
Also a few years ago, one of my local tackle shops used to have almost a whole wall dedicated to the Fiish range. And now has run it down to last few odds and ends. Seeming despite customer demand and repeatedly requesting orders, the UK importer did not deliver...too busy with other business interests elsewhere apparently...

So I guess most people have moved on

No question for me, this year and every year since I first tried it, the mighty Mishna in Lemon Meringue has absolutely smashed it 🏆.

Couldn't agree more mate - I have caught on Karls Guffers everywhere I've used them, and definitely pick out the bigger fish. I work with Karl so get to see what his projects are - his latest jig head efforts are a work of art too and getting people excited already...
Mart.
