New toys from Orion Lures. I could not get them in NZ or OZ, although Gara pro shop do have some, so ordered them from the maker, Eric in France. 40 Euros each and 12 Euros for postage, 5 days, no tax. Can't wait to give them a try.

I love these lures, they have been proven fish catchers on my boat for a while now.
In New Caledonia they dominated, especially the Nambas.

Guys,

Try Ben P @ Nomad Sportfishing NZ, if he doesn't have the Orion's in stock he can get them for you.

I could not find any bigfoot 140's in NZ or OZ, but Nomad do have some 210 Nambas. Gara proshop in OZ do have a few poppers , but an email to Eric in France and they'll be here next week. He does not have all the colour range at present but will do by the end of July.
