vb4me 1 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Been around for a little while now and quite a few copies around too. Daiwa have one called a bay rubber which I believe is even more expensive than the shimano lucanus. River to Sea have the octo sniper, Gillies have the octa killer I think which my missus has now got. I have a lucanus. So we are yet to have a jig off to see which one works better Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest big lizard Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 They work well, there are also other styles on the market besides Shimano that work just as well..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigash 0 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 yeah mate they are worth a shot.the lucanus have reasonally small hooks which increases hookup rate, i have seen this 1st hand with other brands are missing bites & lucanus getting fish consistently.downside is the smaller hooks are prone to damage from pliers & snapper jaws, get a couple spare skirts & hook sets aswellcheersBigAshhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iejp3tChcg8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
