What's the best website to buy stickbaits overseas? A lot seem to be out of stock. Also any stickbait recommendations? Targeting kingis on Pe8. Cheers |

There speaks a man with a big lure collection. Have you got more top water lures, or squid jigs, Dmitrey?? Happy new year mate, hope you get among some big 'bangas' in 2018.X2 for Ebbtide and Fishhead. Great service, and a good selection of lures for guys like me who are getting into top water that aren't in Carpenter price range, but you can buy the likes of Strategic Angler and Jack Fin if you feel like splashing out.The Morning Tide guys often go into Fishhead in their videos, and one of them went on a trip to Oman with John Cahill from Ebbtide. Both owners know their stuff and can give advice on hooks to match the lures etc.

Ebb tide sell some really nice stuff......but you can buy some reasonable stuff local that wont break the bank.......eg shimano ocea pencil and stick inline 7/0 with 8 or 9mm splits on em........starwalker with the same configuration as above in both floating and sinking.....Both easy to work and obtain a good action.......durable anbd can be found on special at times in local fishing stores.....the ocea has rattles ....the starwalker does not. Inline singles are good value.......better ones include BKK(nomad)/Decoy but jigstar and mustad do them and are cheaper......Bkk(nomad) ones are my pick.......welded eyes and good value.....7/0 is perfect for the 185 mm mentioned above....decoy heavy splits 8 or 9mm.....or swage splits too........dont weigh your sticks down with too big hooks........will ruin their action. ------------- Once the idiots turn up..Im outta here...No time for Drama Queens. |

Hi John, The last order I did was on the new system, certainly easier - not that it was a drama before, really. Still trying to get the best out of the Jack Fin Stylos I bought - sometimes I get a great darting action like a real piper (garfish), sometimes not. Not sure why!! When are you coming over to tangle with a few Kiwi kingies? TTK
