Excellent lures !! Fished the same 195 bottle rock for a full week off the rocks and can safely say these things are solid and skip along the surface imitating a fleeing garfish too perfection. Unfortunately I didn’t land any fish with this lure this trip but I have no doubt that this lure will catch some serious fish in future trips.
These lures cast extremely well and can tell that there has been alot of thought and testing in the weight distribution.
An important feature for any LBG fisho is that a lure can withstand the impacts from having to bang the lure into the rocks to safely retrieve the lure for certain ledges and when the seas are big. The lures recycled HDPE material has great durability and does not damage easy. The through plate design feature gives you a lot of confidence that no matter how many times it’s bangs on the rocks that it will still be solid for when you hook that monster. Similar lures in the industry generally use a through wire which is typically light and gets damaged and bent quickly when hitting the rocks. Bending the wire back into position always worries me as everytime you do this the wire gets weaker and I have seen it fatigue and snap in the past . When you are putting those long hours to find those dream fish you want to have the confidence that you have limited any possible weak points.
Overall very impressed with this product. Top quality !!!
