connolly Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Try here mate: http://fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.ph...2&hl=blades Cheers Hodgey It's interesting how trends come and go. I checked out "blades" last week and couldn't help thinking "they're not much different to those Halco things I bought ten years ago", Remember them? Halco made at least 2 types. One was a 10 gram freshwater thing that looked a bit like a wonder wobbler but had the "tow-points" along the back. They were either brown or rainbow trout coloured. The other ones were flat, metal fish shaped things with a big lump of a red head on them and several holes along the back to tow from. I can't remember actually using any of them before thieves got into our garage and took all of my fishing gear and tools. So it sounds like these new blades really work. They are so expensive!! The old Halco ones were about $5 (for the 56 gram model) not #%*# $18. I don't want to miss out on all of the fun though and I ain't getting up at 3 in the morning travelling dozens of kilometres and spending a fortune on fuel only to find I don't have the right gear. so I'll just have to buy one or twenty. Thanks for this website and all the "reporters". It gives me something interesting to look at every day. I might even have a report to put on soon. I'm going fishing on Sunday. Hooray!!!

slinkymalinky Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Nice one flatty hunter... just broke the duck with them recently too. Don't they feel incredible through the rod. No wonder the bream love them with that incredible buzzing they put out. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
