Has been awhile and with the economy not looking so good I thought I best do my share to help it out (and also beat the inevitable price rise :icon_e_wink: ), so a round of the tackle stores was in order :icon_e_biggrin: Got a ZIpbait Skinny Pop from one on Friday (Colour - L-011(whitebait)) and lost it to a Mully (scared the proverbial out of me when he smashed it) on Saturday, so a couple more were added today. Definitely going to be my Go To surface lure this season :icon_e_biggrin:Size: 70mm, Weight: 3.6gCompared to a SX40A few others that followed me home to help the Economy Luck

I'm with Lazy I throw away the split rings and use a size "0" lure clip as this weighs about the same as the split ring so you not adding anymore weight that might change the buoyancy of the lure. I find the Decoy clips quite good and have not let me down

@ crocka79 Have a read here to see if you can change you handle http://www.japantackle.com/Tuning_parts/Change_cork_knobs.htmLet me know and well see about the T handle as I have a couple that have never been used

I have never liked the "T" handles on my Airity 2500 and Caldia 4000, so when I spotted some great Daiwa RCS EVA round foam knobs, they just had to follow me home to be fitted to these reels :)Airity With the Old "T" knobCaldiaShould be a lot more comfortable in a fight [me=Buff][/me]

For my small lures when I don't use a small clip I'll use the Rapala knot and yet to have it fail :icon_e_smile:I haven't used it for any larger lures as yet but will be giving it a go with some bigger ones very soon :icon_e_smile:

Most Good tackle shops will stock them :icon_e_wink:For what they cost in the shops, buying them on the net the postage would negate the savings
