The big disadvantages with the coathanger type lures are that they're
awful
to cast and a real liability in bushed-up waters. They seem to deal
OK with
watery snags but the slightest touch on an overhanging branch and
they lovingly wrap themselves into an immovable embrace :-( Very
much an open waters and boatfishing option.

Seems like the sea bass may be the safest place to try them first
anyway haha
dropped into the middle of the shoal should be fun

I think they originated as "Merecan" Bass Lures.

I first saw them on a trip to the states about 10yrs ago & bought some back
to try out on the local esox.

I've never looked back as they say.

PS - I normally agree with most of Derek's observations, but I have to
disagree with the comments above.
I've fished all sorts of lures, spinners, spoons, plugs, deadbaits etc and
have found these some of the easiest lures to handle.
No offence Sir Derek of Casterbridge ;-)
