Test Bait

I just took the Single Bait for a swim at a local estuary... Its blowin' a gusty westerly here so there was some wind chop on the water which was great, pond like conditions aren't ideal for testing...

So I rigged up the lure with a couple of SJ41's on the belly and a JOBU on the rear, decided to attach the leader via NT 1/0 and a split...

Quick check on the lures static position, it was sitting around 50-60 degrees ( could go slightly larger on the belly hooks ) ... First up simple retrieve, rod tip down, no rod work and a steady wind... Success it swims with no input, once the lure starts weaving and hunting the large single hook on the rear really starts to wag and add to the action... No roll out, but plenty of flash from the aluminium finish.

Tried some "sweeping" retrieves imparting some rod work on the lure, has a nice slide that is unpredictable on the end of the sweep...

That's enough for now, it needs to be tested in anger and cast at some fish... Will be sending it out to Nomad NZ HQ tomorrow.
