Ive used a sinker in silver choclate wrapper with a hook to catch fish, also have some balsa lures my dad knocked up...
If the fish is hungary and the lure in the right spot it will get eaten... dont beleive in all the hype of expensive marketing..... sorrry guys... same goes for squid jigs... never had a problem with the cheapies... can always catch a feed.. sometimes a colour change helps. |

I was invited to the japan / china and Oz trade shows, time and money were my main reasons for not going.
A friend of mine Frank Prokop "he wrote the lure encyclopaedia" has inspired me to endevour on a project of my own regarding a lot of video footage of lure actions. No small feat by any means but a challenge for me non the less. A lure is just that a fish attractant whatever shape or form it may be, if you make them yourself or buy them the choice is yours in the end use whatever YOU actually score fish on... -------------------- YOU MUST SHOW RESPECT TO GET IT IN RETURN, NEVER PRESUME YOU DESERVE IT.....

Mully my initial comments to Tom were to get him to realise there's more to a lure than what everyone says is the hot flavour of the month I stressed if a angler didn't use it correctly then it didn't matter what flavour of the month it was. I dunno, those flavour of the month's are pretty tasty. ![]() ![]() ![]() Same as your favourite gun Ecogear PX 45F's googlefush you'll find they are a product of www.wilma.com.cn get me a couple of pics & I'll tell you if they are. Here are a few of my ones. ![]() ![]() And here's the link to the lure. Ecogear PX 45F (surface popper) So far they are proving deadly on the bream and whiting scene, the fact that it's something the fish have never seen before helps, although sometimes you can't go past the tried and true like the Rebel Pop-R's. ![]() -------------------- DANCE!

They are a very tastey morsel many a big bream have told me personally....
A few lures stand out amongst the crowd when used in the brine a lot are just over advertised rubbish but some really do shine. -------------------- YOU MUST SHOW RESPECT TO GET IT IN RETURN, NEVER PRESUME YOU DESERVE IT.....

Catch, what method do you find works best when using these ecogears? surrondings? water depth? structure etc?

The PX 45F's are 100% made in Japan and come with top quality Owner hooks, there was only a small shipment of about 300 made to Otto's (keep in mind that's the only place in Australia that stocked them). Ecogear is a Japanese brand (I think a branch off Marukyu) and I think all of their product is made in Japan. Or maybe only that small shipment of poppers was made in Japan.
Rummy, these work very well with a quick-ish walk-the-dog retrieve with a few pauses thrown in. Vary it up, sometimes other retrieves work. I like to work poppers in shallower stuff so it's easy for the fish to notice it. Any sort of structure that holds fish will produce, over weed beds are good. -------------------- DANCE!

McCallums in Nowra stockem Catch. I worked there on Saturday and to my surprise there they were in a box , about 20 or 30 of them. I had to price them, exy I thought at 19 odd dollars. But they look the goods and I will never know if they catch fish cause I can't afford to throw that much money away on a lure when it could be putting some tucker on the table if you know what I mean. BUT they do look the goods
