Cheers for the compliment boys, definitely a lot of effort involved in the process.

Wire is 1.5mm 316 welding wire. I just get it from a local stainless steel welder for $1 a 900mm length. Not the easiest stuff to work with as its pretty stiff.

Foils are from http://hooptapecanada.com/........ ahhh yep thats right, tape for hoola hoops EmbarrassedLOL can't say its my thing but the tape is good quality, nice range and far cheaper than the stuff you get from fishing shops.

Cheers mate unfortunately no topwater lures got smashed, not even the cherry pie. I just couldn't find the fish........... No surprises though really the coastline had nets all over it, reefs that normally guarantee boil ups were DEAD!

Tried out deep, had bait fish up to 25m but the kings were underneath so it was jigs only. Think I'll do some charters, let the pros find the fish so I can test my lures out proper.

Was intent on staying at Bach until I got some decent topwater sessions but a King I jigged up had other ideas.

Loading up a video now and will post in reports section, its as painful as it is funny.

What gauge wire do you use, where do you get it?
Where do you get your foils from?

Inspirational work Marx, bring on the 'how to' and a display of the spoils!!

Sound good bro, heading off tomorrow. Weather ain't looking to hot but.......... well you know whats happens when I want to go fishing LOL

Lures should be fine, was in a bit of a s*&t yesterday. At the end of the day you don't really know what it is exactly a king looks for in a lure action so you just got to put them in the water and find out.

The cherry pie has a pretty lazy, rolly action and thats worked out for me all right.

Mean bro mean. Very tidy job. Good to see you don't do things by halves, and go the extra mile in your R + D. Keep on keeping on. Look even better hangin' from the gob of a Northland rod bender. Time to get that TPSW screaming with joy. Thought those nice faces in your shapes would have sorted out the body roll. It'll get them flashing any how. Will be good to compare notes i.e. poke and hope vs math and science. Damn, I'm inspired. If only I could find my tools in the neglected Lab, let alone get in the door. ]]> Mon, 21 Feb 2011 15:47:39 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63276&PID=903522&title=bait-batch#903522 <![CDATA[Bait Batch : I just did some more extensive...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63276&PID=903425&title=bait-batch#903425 Author: marx

I just did some more extensive testing at the panmure yacht club and I'm pretty disappointed with them

Not that easy to swim and action too lazy for my liking due to, to much tail weight. The action is better with no tail hook but I think those holes at the front is actually making them difficult to swim.

Causing to much roll, going to fill them with epoxy and see if that help.

Bugger guess you live and learn.
