I had a cast with it earlier this year whilst looking for sea trout - you can make it walk the dog underwater if you twitch it gently and on a pause it has a fluttering action on the drop. It is subtle and definitely for calmer water over sand or on a deep water mark - you would lose touch with it in a big surf. It casts very well for its size and I recall reading on a French site that it was highly rated for bass and other species in the Med.
