With a casting egg, or clear casting float, it hammers Albies and Bonita as well.
It does hold up fairly well to toothy fish.
I have been tying this patern for about 40 years. In the beginning on small hook sizes to catch macks. I would run 3 or 4 on dropper loops above a Kastmaster or diamond jig.
It also works well above a Bucktail Jig for Fluke as well.
Above a large jig in deep water I have caught some nice Cod and Haddock when tied with 4/0, and 5/0 hooks.
