i have been playing around in the garage going though all the old stuff ive accumulated over the years...
some i have redressed some i have just drilled holes in to attach the new style hooks and skirts....
all good fun, now to find out if any work...
here are some pics of them...
the first is from 20plus years ago when i was making jigs.
its now converted over to this, who knows might work...

this one is tiny soft/bait from old school...

the one below is just made out of a couple of old tuna sized skirts cut down...
this yellow one is slightly bent like a Banana so should wobble and hang-up on the drop..


some are quite small, but this bottom one is about 20cm long and has a 6oz tear drop sinker attached...
will try it deep water bottom bouncing, i can see the eyes come back up flat as due to the pressure...
or it may get hit by a King going down...
will let you know if any work....
Thanks for everything you did for us Eric. may you rest in peace, You were one of the real legends of NZ recreational fishing
