Does anyone rate DOA bait busters (the ones with the curled tail) i got some the other week as i was told they were great but seeing them in action they have no action at all?

i would have to say the tango dancers in the smaller size are the best surface lure...they look exactly like a mullet, i have even had mullet following the lure but then when a big bazza snaffles it you tend to s@#t yourself and pull the lure outta theyre mouth...would highly recommend them!!

For the surface would have to be the skitter pop or bills bug
fizzer in any colour.And for the depths would have to be a
white/red doa prawn or white dropbear squidgy.If these arent
working you need livies.

Yes DOA bait busters are one of the best barra lures I have used but you must give them action ,when jigged in they flash like mullet on each drop. Use pearl white and add black stripes...
