Anyone seen them in the shops yet? Or even better, tried them yet? ------------- What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck. |

I understand they ain't biodegradable. Do you reckon they'll be more durable than the biodegradable ones Bushy? ------------- What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck. |

You are right they are not. Hard to say if they would be or not. I know
that they rubber SP's I brought back from Aussie a couple of years ago
didnt stand up to reef fish any better than the biodegradable ones you
get here. Only time and fishing will tell ------------- I would rather laugh with the Sinners, than cry with the Saints |

| They are due in the country next week, then will have to be distributed to stores. I have a few to try, and half heartedly gave them ago on the weekend for not much, only caught one legal snap between 2 of us all day anyway. Militaris they are imported by allied outdoors, website http://www.alliedoutdoors.co.nz - www.alliedoutdoors.co.nz but you wont find them on there yet, they have a whole page add in the New Zealand fishing news this month, shows a few of the colours but not much of there range.... |

That ad doesn't do the products too much justice I wouldn't think. The packs are computer generated mock ups rather than actual product shots and are a little dark.
Some of the colours sound interesting. Can't wait to see the 'cooked chook'. ------------- What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck. |

Saw a pic of Ben from the Bait Station holding a couple of packs in the shop on page 99 of the new Coast to Coast mag. Sorry if this is advertising too � just shoot me! Will be going there tomorrow for a squizz. ------------- What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck. |

Went to the Bait Station on Saturday to have a squizz. Was blown away by the selection and had to force myself to leave with three packs rather than one of each as I would have liked (monthly pay is a b*tch and it's not payday till this Wednesday). Great selection of colours (think it was around 12 different colours in the shad pattern) in 6" with a couple on 4" also swim tails, worms and crabs.
Pack of four retails for $10, so not the cheapest but if they are as durable as they claim then not bad. Although being a regular customer and all I got mine for $8. As far as looks go these would be top of the heap. Can't wait to see how they perform. ------------- What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck. |

Si, I think you are becoming obsessed with this SP business young man. No wonder you had that thing about Bushpigs old rubber gimp suit.
