Ranger 48 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sorry bloke, I spoke too soon, only bloodworm or casper! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coonta kinta 1 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I love those bugs. I have no idea what colour they are, look like a creaming soda colour, but geez they look so prawn / shrimp like its amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve-Bream-Fishing 4 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Scorps, Juist looked at the Squidgy web site, I think Avocado has been replaced by Wasabi colour chief http://www.squidgy.com.au/tails.html# ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 G"day scorps,I did a reddy post last week,and I sung the praise of the avocado,I have 2 tails left,and would myself like to get my mits on some.As Lazzy says they have wasabi,but it isnt the same,to me it looks more unatural,put it in the sun and the tail is a fluro type ,they should of left the tail part the same colour as the rest of the body.Cant work out why they would go to lengths to make a wizz bang natural body,then spoil it by making the tail some fluro type number.Great for reddys ,but if you have a wary trout or bream, the original avo was way better imo than the newer wasabi.Cheers :icon_cool: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 95 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yeah thanks guys,still living in hope though.Iam with you Cal,the old avocado outfishes the wasabi most times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SuperThahn Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I got my biggest bream out of the port ever on a pink squidgy bug fished on the surface. It went 45cm to the fork Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonyb 1,017 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Not a single one of my dozen or so kilo plus Reddy's have ever complained about the Wasabi's boys :fishing:Then again you would have been introduced to the earlier style of Bugs, fished them a lot and caught a lot on them :fishing:I have always maintained that if it's in the water then you'll catch fish with it :PLot of psychology and superstition in our chosen sport IMHO.Cheers, tonyb.PS what did you catch that 1.45 kg Reddy on again Scorp.???PPS Very interesting also that the Squidgy Bug was purpose designed as a SURFACE lure for Bream over Oyster leases!

Cal 480 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yeah we know Tony,in all honesty there isnt a lot of difference.But you know what we are like,if you cant get it any more we all want it .And if we do manage to get it we dont wanna use it because .....errr.....you cant get it and we dont wanna lose it!LOL :icon_lol: :icon_lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scorpion 95 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Actually Tony , that 1.45kg reddy wasn't caught on a Squidgy Bug. :icon_e_surprised:I used a Squidgy Wriggler in rainbow trout colour. ;) ;DStill no offers recieved regarding Avocado colour Bugs. :'( :'( :'(Oh well, back to metal spoons ;D ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonyb 1,017 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Actually Tony , that 1.45kg reddy wasn't caught on a Squidgy Bug. :icon_e_surprised:Nor was it caught on an Avocado :, nor was the Aussie rules football sized Reddy from Inchequin all those years ago : : Nor were those thumpers from up North ::)The two biggest Reddys you've caught and some speccy others . I rest my case and await the jury's return of verdict :icon_e_ugeek:Cheers mate, Tony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pretz43 0 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Im starting to think i should have bought a packet when i saw them :icon_lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonyb 1,017 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Don't worry about the Bugs Tim,Reddy's are not that fussy.Any well presented lure be it an SP or HB will catch a Reddy as long as it is in the water (and attached to your favourite fishing rod)and not in the tackle box :fishing: :fishing:A little "birdy" told me Scorps is terrified to use his new Avocados for fear of losing one : : : All in the mind : : ::)Cheers, Tony.
