Think its possible to get even more out of them. Considering I've only got 10m of line out and each lure has its own subtle differences and respond better to different rod speeds.

So they could perform even better once I've refined my technique.

Yeh mate, thought you'd like this one. When you were explaining to me why you didn't like the last lot I knew exactly what you meant and I totally agree.

Cheers Sam did you think that because of the friction created by the holes in the head? My theory is that friction on the head is a good thing so the water grabs onto it. The head of the lure is always going to travel as smoothly as your rod movement.

As for the tail I reckon no friction is a must if you want the back to slide around loosely. Just a theory though.

                                                                                                         

Hope to be field testing around Tutukaka sometime shortly after Aug 6th.

Might have to cheat and anchor up, then burley something chronic to bring the few kings that are around closer to me.

They look sweet marx Thumbs Up 
Be very interesting to see if putting hooks on them kills a bit of that lovelly wiggle. 
Cant wait to see some more testing footage.

What you see is the lure swimming completely rigged mate.

2/0 Owners (the chunky ones) and 200lb Varivas split.

Stickbaits won't even swim without the hooks, especially the belly hook as it provides the balance and some resistance needed to stop the lure spinning.

Sorry - I assumed that because it had no hooks in the close up at the beginning of the video, that is how they were tested. That being the case - very sexy indeed Clap

The holes would more than likely create a vacuum...The tail follows the head, you have created a fulcrum point in the tail by adding ballast... Will send you a PM so I don't put every one to sleep reading this lure jumbo Sleepy

Fair enough its definitely not for every one LOL

I just tried to take some more footage as the other lures are hard to pick up, only to find my camera has started s**ting itself, where the bottom quater of pixels are now dead and fuzzy.... its a canon SX10 too CryCry

Might not get any more vids up for a while but in terms of that latest bunch I think the jack mac has the most extreme action (and therefore prob most appealing to us humans Wink) and the action gets progressively tighter but only slightly through, Blue(pilchard), Squid(pink) and Black(Kahawai).

Think I know why and in terms of field testing it should be a good thing. The lures we think have the best action might be different to what fish think and in this case I'd take the fishes opinion any day LOL

No apology needed mate, can see how you made the assumption but in reality I just didn't want to get hooked LOL

Glad you like it and much appreciated Thumbs Up
