New Lures...

Spent this afternoon testing some new lures from the shore... We have had a lot of rain so the water quality is not so good but when it clears I will make an effort to shoot some video...


First up is a new 130g Popper...

The popper is rigged with an ST66 5/0 on the belly swivel... I purposely tested the lure with no rear hook as this lure will be for targeting GT's. I have researched and found GT's crash the middle section on most lures and in most photo's the fish is hooked on the belly hook, leaving the rear hook to do a lot of damage to the fish, not the best for both angler or fish. If targeting YTK a single hook on the rear would be a good idea. 

The popper has impressed me so far, big splash, lots of noise and a great "waggle" as the cupped face spills the water pressure...I will testing this popper properly in Tonga next month. 

Another new lure is the 230 Stick bait... Again this lure is 130g...

Rigged with ST66 4/0 both front and rear...

This is a diving lure and the action is wicked, very hard to explain so you will have to wait for some video.. I finished this lure in fusilier colours to mimic the common reef bait. Again this will be tested next month in the tropics.
