Tackle Tragic’s Unite

[Squidder]

I have seen those lucky craft 'pencils' before - I couldn't figure out whether they were intended to be used as a serious lure or not. A pic with one of them hanging out of a fish's gob would be priceless

[Buff]

As yet dont have a photo of the Pencil pencil landing me a fish but do have some more photos of strange things that seen to have appeared in my tackle box

hey buff do you buy most of your lures online
or do you have a favourite local tackle shop?

[Buff]

Will buy locally for the standard colour and range but do buy online for the more abstract and non imported lures
Some of the best local (Adelaide) lure stores Fisherman's Paradise, Sportsfishing Scene (10% off if your a fishsa member ) and Ray and Anne's.
A good local online store is Mylurestore.com with the owner being a member of AKFF (RobT)

i may aswell chip in aswell. I decided to spend my first days pay at work and buy this little handle knob. i had been admiring it all day so i decided to take it home so i could admire it all night

before anyone goes "why did you wack a saltiga knob on your 1500 tierra, that can't feel any good!" here is a comparison pic to the standard knob.

it feels sooo nice compared to the standard one

Have seen some lovely after market add ons for shimano reels just wish they were available for Daiwa

Well that darn Postmen dropped by Again
How he knew I was after some Deep divers I'll never know

Evergreen Icecream bill shad




You got to love the size of the bib on this sucker


Bottom: SX48
Middle: ZIpbait B-Switcher 4.0 (will hit the bottom at 4.5m when dragged behind the yak)
Top: Icecream bill

And the blurb on the Shad's

Ice cream bill shad ? The lip looks like ice cream corn.
The unique lip is the almost same size as the body. Usual tiny deep diving jerk baits dives only a 3-4 feet.
But It's possible to dive over 12 feet with normal casting.
When you drag it using trolling motor, it dives 30 ft range. It's a special minnow for deep fishing.

Can see the Port River getting Deeper

I'll just follow in your slipstream and catch the fish that are chasing the prawns you will dig up with that lure
Cheers Darren

Got to get in on this thread. I have had a couple of packages of lures from Japan with probably 50% being Second hand. Perfect condition just no packet. First are my pencil poppers that I have been using on Whiting. By far the most productive one here has been the stripey sugar pen that has a cupped face. It creates more splash over a smaller area than the Megabass which is the best to cast or the sammy 65. I also like the sammy but havn't caught the number of fish that the sugar pen has.


Next are a couple of megabass lures that I thought would be nice for bream. Both second hand.


Then a selection of Divers for bass. Lucky craft , megabass etc Must say I love the megabass lures. Tungsten weights inside that sit in the tail to make casting easy , then move into side chambers to rattle. Amazing.


Then there is my Bass grab box. I caught 15 small Bass this morning with 2 on the megabass siglet at lower left , then the remainder on either the red shallow diver or the gold megabass griffon. My fave lure there though and the 1 I would take if I could only choose 1 is the bubble crank in the lower right. Great on surface and will also dart 30cm bellow.

Detail of a couple of Griffons.

Best to buy a selection to save on postage and make sure you get some of those hook covers while your there. This is the shop.... http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/Sushilur ... QQ_armrsZ1
