Exactly the reason I bought it; I generally fish alone and being a senior cit. my balance isn't what it was.

Not heavy enough, and liable to straighten out if you hook into a decent King or similar I'm guessing.

Could of sworn I replied to this already.
My understanding is that these lures either aren't designed to be thrown at large predators instead with something along the lines of salmon and tailor in mind, as a result the rings and hooks they have used are prone to failure when used on larger species or the other possibility is that it is just them trying to save money and use cheap terminals
