kayakfisher 0 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've caught some redffin on some no-name lures off ebay but I don't think they are really picky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rodstar 0 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hey Guys,I wouldn't recomend the cheaper Ebay lures. I have bought a few in the past and i find that with the brand i got they dont seem to swim very well, very un-natural. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scissors 308 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Avoid them at all costs, anything with the name Pelagic or Kamikaze in it is trash, I know this from personal experience. I suggest spending your hard earned on more reputable brands. I would rather have one high quality lure than 5 pieces of trash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weaver 271 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Check to see if the eyelets move mate as the cheaper plastic lures ones sometimes do, ( and the more expensive one),Theres not much holding them eyelets as the are a figure 8 of wire sitting in the plastic.You got 6 take one to the cleaners and see how strong it is, pair of pliers try and pull the eyelets out, try the bib etc, i got a few cheap lures off of ebay a couple of years ago,,Listing said "cod strong" i got them and pulled them apart in seconds literally.They were made of foam and would of been absolutely destroyed by a guppy let alone a cod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve-Bream-Fishing 4 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 There's a reason why they are so cheap don't waste your money MBF on these lures. You can go to one one of the sponsors stores and spend a few bucks more and a better quality of lure and not get slugged $20 to deliver .If you'd rather buy on line coz ya live at the Bridge, try www.mylureshop.com www.motackle.com.au www.lureworld.com.au Quote Link to post Share on other sites
