No amount of my poor photography will get this to 'pop' like it does in natural sunlight. I will produce these in limited numbers as the shell is very expensive and adds to the over all price of the bait. Making up another for NOMAD NZ, and then will have some others ready in a few weeks/months... This bait is destined to fish for some BIG tuna in the USA. Make sure you pop by the Synit display at the Boat Show as Graeme will have the lure and we need to keep him honest. |

I have more shell arriving in a few days so I will be making a couple more for an order, be good to get away from the airbrush for an afternoon. As for rigging, I like it with the R2S Shogun In-line hooks, in either 7/0 or 8/0 they really let it do it's own thing without dampning any action IMO. The lure you have has been wired for a JOBU however, but just twist it some more for in-lines. If you want to use trebles 2/0 to 4/0 66's depending on the amount of hook exposure you want. As for the popper, well it's still in testing and needs destroying before going any further... GT testing is up first. Merv also wants one for Bluefin so you guys are first on the list! |
