Buff 0 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 With the up coming SA Bream Classic close at hand I decided a few more lures were needed (as if I needed any excuses)Did the rounds of the more productive lure stocking tackle shops and acquired a few new ones that I haven?t seen before.Damiki Craft International MU: 45mm long, 4.5g in weightThe pink packeted one is fitted with very light gauge singles, so I assume it would be classed as a Area Trout lure, the singles have been chucked and some Owner?s have been fitted.Going by the ?SP? on the label of the Yellow pack I assume stands for Suspending.Going by the size of the bib I would hazard a guess that dive to around the 1m markAlso decided to try something different when I noticed some Baby (Octopus) Jigging lures.With a weight of 11g and as you can see a small profile I hope it might encourage the deep water Bream to have a sniff and a taste.Fitted with two (approx) size 4 gold plated ?assist? Jig hooks that are so dam sharp there sticky {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gifFinally found a shop that has got the new Bass-X colours and do they look great, so good in fact that all bar one of the colours they had on stock ended up in the shopping bag.Also added some more Vibs to my collection with three Strike Pro Micro Vibe, at 25mm and fitted with fine wire Owners I hope they will do there fair share of work and tempt the bream.The rumour has it that this lure has action on the drop with a fluter action whilst descending.Just hope that at 25mm they don?t gut hook the fish.The top lure is a R2S Babe Vib 35 for comparison Have been having so much fun with surface lures for bream that some more were added to the collection.Tiemco TT Pencil 40mm long and 2g in weightTiemco Red Pepper Micro60mm and 3.5gHad to add a outsider to the surface lures a Daiwa Cicada Pencil as it looks like a nice bream jelly bean.Only problem know I need a few hours sorting them into the collection {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites

goat herder 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Ray & Anne's always have a healthy stock of bream lure sized Owners. For the larger trebles (size 4's and above), I tend to get them from what used to be Tackleworld at O'Halloran Hill - apologies, dunno what the store's called now, I'm sure southerners will know.. {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif I'm sure STW will have them too if you live out that way. {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gifFair dinkum Buff, you're a crack up! {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif Cheers,Wino Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Buff 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 @ Cliff As Wino and Ranger has suggested these shops do carry Owners with most of the Lure "savvy" stores having a good selection.I did drop into Anaconda and they are stocking a complete range down to size 20 but like most of the stuff they stock it ain't cheep unless there is a 20% sale then there closer to what most of the tackle shops are selling them for {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif@ Goat Herder (aka:Wino)@ Gaffer Have worked out that the Hobie will tow behind the boat nicely Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Buff 0 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Had too much time on my hands over the last few days so a few more lures got added to the collection.Got a phone call from Fisherman's Paradise letting me know that the ZipBait Metal Beat Vibs had hit there shelves.1.7g and 30mm should be a nice mouth full for a bream. Ecogear VX35 for comparisonDoesn't show up but the top one is SilverPassed through a sport/adventure store at Mile End today just to waste some time not really intending to buy anything (there just too expensive) and nearly fell over when I did find a couple of bargains.Yo-zuri Area Fish and a Chum Crank (sx40 for comparison)Also a Daiwa TD Crank that must have been mislabelled as it was half the price of the rest of the ones in the rack :icon_e_surprised:Think I'll have to start getting myself Baned from shops that sell these Sexy Shiny things :icon_lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiley 8 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Those metal beats look alright, love the Zipbaits. Some of those beats look like they could be paint-your-own, well that's what I thought anyway. I'd probably be flipping those hooks up the other way too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
