That's them! I can't say I was too enthused with them really to start with....but the fish out voted me, as soon as I finally gave one a go, it got monstered. I got a couple of the smaller ones, but they seemed to tumble a bit more than I liked on the retrieve , the small wideglides are a way better lure in the smaller size.
The biggest issue I have with the wideglides is that they are such crap colours....made for the us/euro market, they may be all good for attracting fish, but they do nothing to get a fisherman to bite first! Compare with the star walkers, Chris has those in absolutely delicious colours, so you tend to use them with huge confidence. It's the old story, if a lure doesn't catch a fisherman first, it'll never catch a fish]]> Thu, 11 Dec 2014 16:37:23 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=105799&PID=1511418&title=new-to-stickies-and-poppers#1511418 <![CDATA[New to stickies and poppers : Capt Asparagus wrote:Yup, thems...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=105799&PID=1511249&title=new-to-stickies-and-poppers#1511249 Author: laidbackdood

Like these=(bottom two River2sea doggies)...the yellow one is a totally different finish(no pic sorry)....the hardware is pretty reasonable too.

Any other suggestions for an easy-to-work stickbait? At this stage I see Shimano Ocea and Starwalker mentioned. Anything else that will be forgiving for a first-timer?]]> Wed, 10 Dec 2014 16:03:39 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=105799&PID=1511017&title=new-to-stickies-and-poppers#1511017
