I have a range of Jig star "Starwalker" stickbaits arriving in August.
 
Lures are 160 and 180mm in both sinking and floating.  Weights are 60g, 100g for floating and 90g, 130g for sinking and the lures come unrigged.  Lures are plastic with a fantastic holographic finish that has a heavy protective clear coating.
 
This is the lure that Titahi caught his Stripie with last summer.
 
Prices from $45.
 
Kahawai
 
Pilchard
 
Kohuru
 
rest of the colours -
Barbie
 
Blue Pink
 
Purple
 
Green Mackerel
this Green Mack is Titahi's marlin slayer.  Nice Thumbs Up
 
give it death!

Hey Chris, very nice and certainly well priced... can't wait to see some...
 
On another note, are you doing anything in the way of stick bait rods?
70ml of 90deg C water pressurised through 13g of roasted finely ground tamped coffee for 25sec's to make a distinguishing sensory hit called a Double Shot

Are they wire through construction? They look the business and cheap as chips.

Nice one! Like the pricing, length, weight and colours Chris, anyone would think you were deliberately getting a stick bait for kiwi fishos targeting kings.

Rather than one really suited to tropical fish we don't see much of in our waters!

WHAT!! Shocked
You mean the rest of the world don't have kahawai and kohuru as we do? Wink.
 
Yeah, we have the technology to produce lures that kiwi fish dine on.  JSA are happy to have these since they are very fishy flavours which will produce well in their waters.  Very happy with how these have turned out.

I have had the misfortune of being bitten by a marlin ( I know I know, what an idiot, but in my defense I really wanted my sons home made trolling  lure back!!! It FN hurt Cry ) And they are capable of squashing lots of things stronger than fingers. The lure I caught the marlin on is only slightly grazed, the paint job held up very very well and Chris still has the lure which despite the marlins best efforts did not break. These lures are very strong, and well built, they swim well........oh and fish dont mind eating em as well Tongue

Very nice, they look the goods Thumbs Up

Are they the same as the Tailwalk Gunz range? If so, they go great- very easy to swim and definitely attract plenty of hits

Beaut lures. I loved the blue/black/white one, and the pinkie....



Not big fish sadly.... but the big fish that nailed the bluey later, kept it dammit!
Very good lures, good for a long sweeping action.

Edit:- the pinkie I had there is the floating version, which was great, being hot pink I was able to see just where the lure was, made it a bit more fun I reckon. I had I think 3 casts with the blue/black/silver jobbie, first cast nuthin', second cast the little GT, third cast a huge white hole in the ocean and a long unstopable run around a bommie, bugger it! After that I was way more circumspect about using the pinkie, it still survives up there awaiting my return in January.
It was good to have them along though, in combination with the R2C doggies I also used, as Chris's lures here I found worked really nicely in a long, sweeping action that got the lure in pretty quick, and the doggies I found were only to be used with a slow, short action. Meant you had a range of lures and actions to use on the fish.
The lures are very nicely solid I found, the pinkie got..... I tihnk about 5-6 fish all told, without any major damage to the paintwork or anything either, which was pleasing.
I certainly want to take a few more of those with me next time I head off!

160 = 2/0 treble
180 = 3/0 treble
 
no, did not state treble hook sizes.  Anglers have their own opinions as to what works best for their technique.

Many thanks to Stu for testing these lures for me.  It is pleasing to hear and see photo results of these neat lures.
