One of our suppliers sent this to me regarding a new product, thought you guys may like to have a gander at these. Check the size and weight of them

Where is the hook ?   Do you swing an assist off the 2 loops on the bottom ? They look very good.

What are they designed for? To heavy to cast on most rods. Just checked and the 22cm Storm Swimbait only weighs 78g  . 

Deep water  swim baiting for Bass? 

or are they more just a fancy jig then a lure?
