Not a bad idea at all

[devoker]

Tsurinoya and tsuyoki topwater pencils are quite good.

Half of fleabay and  JW  Chrome Slices would be Halco Twisty knock offs/altenatives.

Black Magic Flipper Jig would be BiCF Pryml Jig /<retailer removed> knock off, though more expensive.

Berkley Skid Jig would be Abu Garcia Skid Jig knock off, though more expensive.

They look the same I agree but did you compare their action and manage to catch fish on them? The crazy shrimp is pretty good I saw various reports and had success myself but what about those hardbodies? I wouldn't suggest them unless they're tried and true

Yes, all from special fb page that focuses on the products and recommends them. Besides a surface pencil is a surface pencil.

My local tackle store gets a bit annoyed when I show some customer what lures I use. So I have to refrain from talking to explicitly about lures i am using and what they are based on.

 

I can personally vouch for the jigs and maria poppers and rerise stick baits as well as the sugapen. 

Tested them in water like on action and had hits just haven't landed anything except worthy of note. My favourite is hunthouse g control hot pb bonnie on it and noeby lures

cool, I have tried the sugapen knockoff it's not really as good as sugapen but do catch a tailor once. Prob it's a confidence thing but I didn't really catch anything on those knock-off esturary topwater lures. For those big topwater lures/sinking pencils, I guess it's easier to make it swim right as it basically just need to wobble while you sweep the rod and the target fish are less finiky.

That is like me never catching anything on metalmaru. Despite it being a tried and tested lure.

A bream cannot tell difference on walking the dog on semi-transparent surface pencil. You really cannot go wrong

Funny enough, I was testing the action of the topwater lures I bought from <retailer removed> and hengjia bent minnow and tsurinoya pencil had much better action than berkley slurp and pro tech bender. None could match osp bent minnow though. Pencils are relatively similar btw.

Everyone, please refrain from mentioning where you are getting these lures from. You can talk about the brands and lure models and let members work out the rest.

Yes they are but tsurinoya is much easier to walk than berkley. Btw, allblue blux surfer is another knock off of sugapen, much cheaper than jerry blade but it is only available in 95mm size.

They're produced in the same factory in Weihai, China, close to my hometown and prob is the home of most fishing stuff in the world
