Meppstas 5,032 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I finally got around to giving one of two of Brayden's hard body lures ( 41mm 4g Brown trout pattern) a go today in the Mersey River in dull overcast conditions and very clear water.. the lure worked a treat picking up a brown & a rainbow trout in quick time.. the fishing was tough today with a low moving in, I did hook and lose two trout on it as well. They're a great action light weight lure, very impressed with it.. here's a couple of pic;'s.. cheers Adrian... The brown was the first that fell to the lure.. Then not long after a rainbow was landed.. keenfisho, mrfish, gregtech and 9 others 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Can't believe i hadn't seen this!!! Stoked you have gotten some fish on them mate! especially fish from another state... Might need to buy some more of those blanks and paint some more up! Next lot i'll be sure to add red dots to them was always my intention i just hadn't found a way to add them so they dont look like they are just put there sort of thing!

HB tragic 756 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hi Adrian. Nicely done with great lures sTB. I noted the snap/swivel setup that you use. I use the same snap but remove the swivel. Have you found any bonus to leaving the swivel attached? Might need to alter my practice. Regards, HBt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meppstas 5,032 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Thanks HB, actually I don't normally use that type of snap for the hard body lures, the reason it's on there is because I've been too slack to change it to those in the photo that I have set up on my other 10 trout rods.. the ones in the photo are what I normally have set up on the rods.. In the first lot of photos you'll notice the swivel I normally have set up, that's what I have on the other trout rods, I rotate my use of rods on a regular basis.. That snap swivel hasn't altered how the lure works.. I'm glad you noticed it, it's made me get off my a**e and change it... cheers Adrian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soobz 559 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I use those, but am going to try the egg type as they are stronger and as far as I can tell more secure as they overlock, and seem the closest thing to a loop knot. Of course they are "cross rock"! If you want to annoy a Japanese person ask them to say "racecourse" (I have a number of Japanese friends) BTW, these are Y300, which is like $4, why do we pay $10?

Meppstas 5,032 Posted November 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I have them as well but need to use a pair of small pointed pliers to open them because I can't get a decent grip on the small ones with my fingers.. They certainly are strong and a great clip for sure.. Cheers Adrian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soobz 559 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Yes I discovered today they are damned hard to re-clip, especially without glasses Meppstas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
