Grant,
The SLD-F 125 has been my most successful minnow lure this year, and I caught lot of bass on it last year as well.
Casts really well, works well from a slow retrieve up to ripping it in, twitches make it dart well.
The colours that work well for me are the Smelt (H134) and the Cut throat Pilchard (H94)
For me personally I think the SLD-F is the best of all the Tide Minnows.
