    The good old black and gold toby takes a lot of beating. I reckon the rapalas do that. I love them! I have recently started fly fishing and am doing better than both with a black wolly buggar wet fly. Have never had that much joy with a mepps but know they work. Love the idea of towing a wet fly behind a toby.

    Or you can swap the hook out for a teaser.

    You can also swap the hooks on tassie devils out for teasers too.

    Adds a bit of flare.

    I find with the tassie devil rig the best thing to do is to have a small bead separating the lure and teaser otherwise the hook of the teaser can go inside the lure a bit further and doesn't swim how it should in the water

    (We once dived an inshore reef that had been blown to smithereens, and found some of their 'bombs' on the seafloor that hadn't gone off. Crikey...)

    Albeit they come in all sorts of different colors :-)

    A nice combo is on a tassie devil which is pink and blue coloured is to put a pink teaser behind it as the hook. Use a lump bead to separate the lure and the teaser so it swims more naturally.

    Or on a black and gold one use a gold teaser ;-)
