Meppstas 4,964 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I've just got a few to try out on the trout in the rivers next season Micky, never used them before either, I did get the lightest ones available for the rivers.. There's plenty of info on YouTube using blades & vibes on the bream.... cheers Adrian Mickyj and doobie 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
projoe 261 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 They are one of my favorite & most successful lures for deep water use in my boat when chasing bream & schoolies. they are very good snag detectors & i've had a few find new homes in the onka when fishing them from the bank & tend to stick to hards & softs in there these days. my most successful method of use was a good long cast but you need to just feather the last bit of the cast to make the lure lands with out tangling up i'll let the lure sink to the bottom & even let it sit there for a few second have had bream pick them up on the first cast. after a few seconds i give the the rod a sharp upward lift you will feel the blade vibe then let it drop be ready tho bream will quite often hit on the drop. ive dropped in a couple of photos of some of the many bream ive caught on vibes over the years. cop the fatty in the 3rd pic gave me a reel tussel to get him out of 10 metres of water. keenfisho, Mickyj, doobie and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
projoe 261 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Just to keep the juices going ive put up some more picks of other species that have taken a liking to the vibe/blade Plectropomus, keenfisho, doobie and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mickyj 3,204 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Ok trip one using a blade thought I’d try the Pat . Not a good idea in winter and yes I knew that from years of going there . Besides landing bucket loads of weed what did I learn . It’s slightly like using a plastic . Now it’s tiny weighs 4 grams the weight size of a 65 mm DC so it casts well . Tomorrow all being good I’ll try around west lakes . The vibration feels strange but I’ll get used to it . projoe and HB tragic 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SurfcaztR 707 Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I bought some i won't be trying until November in the bigger size when the boat comes out again,just currently beach fishing for mullet and salmon.I'd be curious if they work maybe you'd be interested in me sending you some in different colors and you can use them and tell us if they're any good. If you want them just private message me with the address and i'll get them in the post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Softy 2,991 Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 The smaller ones still catch plenty of fish.. I've seen a 120cm mully pulled out of W/L on one. Mickyj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Softy 2,991 Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I don't use blades much these days but I have these two in my bream box...

As I was floating away, I glanced at the sounder and said to my mate “you should see the bait on the sounder!!!!” He says have a cast, so I did one hop of the blade and there was a solid weight. It was on bream gear, so my mate had to balance awkwardly on a floating litter trap for the next 30 mins Mickyj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Pat was full of bait fish schools . Fourth one would’ve been bigger but spat the lure . The ones I landed spat the lures at me on the land Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He said the stomach was like a sausage casing stuffed with tiny bait fish so small lures definitely have their place for mulloway here’s one I got on a 5cm hb and 8lb leader Squid Inc., Mickyj and Tinker 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winter last year after I bought a Matt black double clutch got told by the tackle shop guy are you fishing at night . Me no I’m chasing bream ect that got a laugh . so just after buying that one ( I need a new one ) it’s a dodge ride nothing in west lakes. I’m leaving see a small fish jumping cast at it and I can see the small Mulleways hitting the lure violently feel it to and they ripped the trebles off iirc they got very close in to some steps .

It was a “mojiko” one they used to sell at anaconda. I think mojiko used to rip off river 2seas designs . So it’s probably just a copy of a river2sea. I bought a heap of mojiko a when they had a massive clearance in the Melbourne store ill see if I can find the name when I get home theu used to dive to around a metre or 1.2m Mickyj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
