Lures, Ouch !, But I Like Them

[bigi]

Hey guys,

i love seeing pics of lures so i thought i would throw up some pics (hopefully it works) of my recent purchases. Unfortunately they are addictive and i couldnt help myself.

Top left to right, 2nd row left to right, and so on

The 1st pic

top 3 are baby rovers 50

next 2 are NW pencils 52 then a sugapen 70 (im thinking i may have to change to a smaller hook size on the sugapen for sand whiting ) What are your thoughts

2 eco's with a Shiraso minnow 48 pencil in the middle

2nd pic

strikepro 8+ and 5+ divers

3rd pic

poppers - 2 bubblepops, a strikepro and a few surecatch

4th pic, I saw this pic in my file so placed it in, my daughter a couple of years ago at the age of 4, showing me how its done with a 52cm flathead, she hooked, retrieved and landed herself. All that practice in the lounge room turning the reel handle paid off. Im so proud.

Who sold you those? They look like Strike Pro's to me.

SAFish - the 2nd box are strike pro's, a very good lure for the price, all the lures here apart from 4 of the poppers are see through, im into bothe the natural immitations and the yellows in see through. i got them from a shop in melbourne, but i had to phone around to find the NW pencils and sugapen, in fact i phoned the wholesaler for a store as not many shops down here stock them. What a runaround, i had to drive for an hour to the store but got them in the end

Rockfisherman - lol know you have made me think i havent got enough colour variation

Hey Bigi,

That 4th lure down in the second box is my killer flathead lure. I've caught 4 flatties over 70cm, including a 97cm croc in the past month on that exact lure. I've tried to buy another couple but can't find them. Wanna sell it?

I was talking about the first box, bottom row outside of the Shirasu. You said they were Eco's (I take it SX-40's) but they are in fact Strike Pro Pygmy's. Ecogear SX-40's are about twice the price. They are similar, but there is a big price difference, you could have gotten ripped off.

my mistake and a very good pickup, i havent kept the packaging, but i do recall wanting the eco's and picking up a couple but putting them back when i saw the strikepro at half the price and very simular.

Jenno, thanks for the heads up on that lure, i looked at it and looked at it, its a Strike Pro Bass-X 5.5cm pink back with clear belly, colour number 911GA, i was also told that lure is picking up some bream down here in melbourne also,

now you tell me this is a cracker unfortunately no i do not wish to sell it. It was the only one in stock also, so thats no good to you. PM sent
