I had the pleasure of working with Ernie Ross (the fellow who developed these) for several years on board his troller the Royal Quest.
Ernie is quite the thinker and tinkerer with all things fishing, and these swimmer-tails were but one result of that.
They caught boat-loads of springs and coho over the years, and at times would out-fish even the best of the competition.
I still carry a range of these in my kit when wandering offshore.
