Lots. Without meaning to. While sailing accross the Atlantic they where a hazard, hitting you in the face and n_ts and everywhere. They go much higher than people realize, at night they would hit the mainsail (probably 3m or 4m above sea level on a 63ft yacht) and when the sun comes up the deck was littered with the buggers.
Fry them in butter, garlic and onions. Throw away the fish and eat the garlic and onions. They really are vile!

We where playing with it at the Shelley Beach comp, and it swims like a beaut. Same suggestion was made, but none of us had a decent video cam. You also need really clean water and possibly a polaroid filter to be able to see it nicely.So if you are up for a laugh how about some video footage of your lure swimming in the pool on Youtube.
No jokes I would love to see the thing swim.

Would love to do it.. Problem is my pool is only 4m long X 3m wide!

I quote from a tester...
"Also had a couple of casts with that sardine you gave me...... Bud, that thing is a winner, and If I had stock on the beach, I would have sold out!!!! If you think the action in your pool was good.... you should check it swimming in the ocean!!!!! BEAUTIFULL!!! By just changing the rod position and retrieve speed, you can use it in several different ways. I found it to have a great surface action when wound in fast till it surfaces, and then slowing down to speed just fast enough to keep it on the surface. It also works nicely with a sub-surface walk the dog retrieve (rod tip down, twitch, slack, twitch....). Then there is the straight medium speed retrieve that makes it swim like a lost and lonesome (bulseye) sardine!"
This by the way is the 3rd modification. The first ones I made swam kak till I got the ballast/buoyancy right.
But I really need my boat so I can hopefully get fish on it!
I'll try and do a video, lets see, will be short clips though.

That sardine even looks good while sinking to the bottom...... it falls, maintaining a horisontal orientation, and with slight side to side sway. The swimming pool really does it no justice.
Bennie, you should make a vid of it on Friday, pulling it along your new ride!!!
