The SEB (natural swim) type
- SEB633, SEB624
These are highly responsive bait models able to easily manoeuvre jigs simply or technically with various jerking methods. Anglers will be able to easily vary the tempo and speed of jerks capitalising on the advantages of the bait tackle set up.

The S (standard & specialised) type
- 613S, 614S, 597S
