I used to enjoy tying trout flies, so it's cool to maybe employ those skills in the salt environment. I used Berkley Stealth 3/8 oz and 1/4 oz jigheads. The first one I tried in the water - in Bruised Banana colours - looked great in the water, lots of movement as the rabbit fur tail undulates, and the fur pulses. Only got one hit, which I missed. But I plan to give them a fair run versus soft plastic bodies... |

The Big Angry Fish guys have certainly done well on them, but they are often fishing in lightly fished spots on the Northland or Barrier coast where most lures would go well, I think. What sort of depth were you fishing in out the back of Tiri? 35m? |
