Generally they are used when the bass are pre-occupied with small prey items, in these circumanstances the smallest eel (50mm) in " colour of the day" will be as good as and often totally out fish any streamer or Clouser Minnow you care to chuck. The attraction I suggest is that the Delta "wriggles" with little or virtually no movement through the water, and still wags it's tail even when just the tow of the waves on the line pulls it along. They also catch makerel, garfish, scad and pollack but then so will a bit of sliver foil wrapped round the hook.
