When they ran out of jointed ones I bought some of the rattling non-jointed ones and some shallow running (non-fastrac) minnows as spares. The non-jointed ones worked fine and the shallow ones worked in shallow water (under 3 feet). I even nailed a 14 inch halibut that hit it on the top while I was twitching it like freshwater bass fishing. Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnows have also had some action. I'm pretty sure anything that looks like an anchovie will probably work.
