southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hey all as the title states I am looking for a handful of people that Regularly chase YFW on Top water lures.... I have sourced and custom painted a few and would like a couple people to test them out. As well as getting opinions and feedback on them.... If interested let me know. Conditions of getting your hands on one are: You must actually chase Yellowfin Whiting on Lures You must be able to give me feedback on them and pictures of the lure catching fish.... Im not going to release anymore information as of yet until I get some feedback and see what hardcore Lure Fishos think as if they seem like an popular item i will be putting these up for sale. If interested hit me up.... I will leave this here until next Wednesday and will select 5 people from who ever has applied. As i have limited quantities at the moment...

AquaticResearch1 1,047 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 I'd be happy to help, I'm always around them and chase them a bit further west than most. I'm in Adelaide until the 23rd and will come back again at Christmas, so if you're that way inclined, let me know and I'll sort something out. Happy to help. southie THE BANGA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got a few different things on order to try at the moment.... most will be around smaller Species such as bream, reddies trout etc but have a few other avenues i want to target. I Want to concentrate on current species people target at the moment... I also have some 22g Sinking Stickbaits on the way for the Tuna The biggest issue i will run into and will be trial and error is the swimming of the lures.... Might have to try a few different ones to get them perfect for what i want. HB tragic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Des 838 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 IMO the bottom colours of lures are more important than the top for floating lures. southie THE BANGA, rotare, bjorn2fish and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Des 838 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Side colours more effective with sinking lures. rotare, bjorn2fish, keenfisho and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Cheers all for the opinions.... As much as i'd like to paint every colour combination possible I want to try limit it to 5 Colours at the moment. That way i can paint up bulk lots without to much hassle... I might paint up another couple different ones once i get my blanks then go from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Territory Lad 1,137 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Nice! Some interesting patterns in there, seems like you have tried a few different things in terms of the patterns that run down the top/back of the lure. Can see more than YFW falling to these, surely a few Bream will get tricked HB tragic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
