I love the fish effect. I want to use a fish only cake at different spots in my New Year's show. Patriotic has a cake called Super Pilot and I can't find any information on it anywhere. I have Bob's guide and I can't even find it in there. Is this cake a re-wrap(like most of Glorious' products)? Does anyone have any experience with this cake, specificly performance, height, and duration? Thanks for help.

It's a small 19-shot cake. Patriotic's wholesale price (72 to a case for $67.72) works out to 94 cents each. Don't know anything about the effect and duration.
Everybody says Glorious Dragon is the best fish item at Patriotic.
You might also try Lightning Attack. I shot that in my show -- it breaks with a sort of crackling glitter effect (ergo, "lightning") and then has a good-sized school of fish, the breaks alternating between silver fish and gold fish.
The flying fish in the #200 Jumping Jupiter tube are also pretty cool.

Maverick's Fish in Water is a small (about 3"x3"x3"), cheap but good fish cake. It has nine shots that last about 14 seconds. It alternates between gold and silver fish that go up with red and green tails.
You could take a bunch of them and attach them to a board and fuse them together. Use faster fuse if you want more fish in the air at once. Use slower fuse if you want to spread it out longer. Or take several boards and spread them around your fire zone and launch them at the same time.
Here is a board I made. It has the Fish in Water on the far right. I wish I would have had more of them on the board.

I have the Glorious Super Pilot. It is a very small cake. I will shoot one next week and report back.
