My yozuri 3d crystal minnow
My yozuri 3d crystal minnow in the silver and blue is doing well. 9 cm. wouldn't go too small for tailors IMO. A bloke fishing the same stretch of river as me on the weekend was using bream lures and I saw him get bitten off twice.

The small x raps and wax
The small x raps and wax wings have worked for me. Once you find a school though they eat pretty much anything you throw at them.
