Like a book aye Jase
 These ones BA are the first shipment that Ginga bought in 240mm long and 140g in weight.I have a couple now and also lost one
 ,the others I have are bluefish which are the same manufacturer but a different style 200mm long and 100g.I have not swum those yet,but was tempted to go practise down in the Harbour.Casting with new gear,braid etc is easily 50m and most of the time 60-70 with some guys further.
Ben you better get a rod bro...

Pretty cool clip, he makes it look easy but they do take a bit of working to get to swim like that.
Once you have them swimming correctly they look good enough to jump in the water and eat yourself. ------------- www.extremesportfishing.co.nz. Agent for Carpenter, Orion and ASWB products |

GT gamma is one of the best stick bait on the market and catchs hugh fish include GT,King fish, Sail fish, Mahi mahi,Tuna and Marlin. For the guys who live in auckland area, we have the full carpenter lure DVD play in store all day long. The DVD shows most the techniques Mr. Konishi uses on the different Carpenter stick bait and poppers. If you are interested in have a watch during lunch breaks for after work, most welcome. I bet you learn heaps more. -------------   WWW.YEEHAA.CO.NZ (09)5705058 30 Jellicoe Road Panmure |

You'll have a boat you can play on in summer brother. Going to invest in some serious stick baiting gear and stick to the coast mostly this season. Less traveling = Less gas = less $ per trip = more fishing trips  Might need Erena to keep Shanti company  ------------- Science for the mind and Art for the soul. |

yip the Bobara is a good one to troll, the Gamma if trolled probably needs to be worked a bit ,ie rod not in the holder but in your hands stroking it a tad.

I showed my Old man the clip to show him what stick-baiting is. Hes purely a fishing for food type and already disgusted by the price of the lures. Half way through the clip......... Dad -"couldn't you just put floats on those lures you already have?" ME- "what lures?" Dad -"arrrrrrrrr?" ME- "you mean my jigs????" Dad "yeh those ones" ME " "He wonders why I don't like going fishing with him. ------------- Science for the mind and Art for the soul. |

Unbelievable action on those Gammas... cheers for that link Falco!~ In fact most of your good stickbaits ( DarkStar/Nomad/Heru, Baby Runboh's, Voladors, Deltas etc ) have a truly incredible action, and really need to be seen to be believed...
The DarkStar Ulua/Wahoo/Boparas, even on just a dead straight steady retrieve have an incredible action with very little if any effort from the angler....
And they are ALOT easier on the body than huge Chuggers, thats for sure!
If you looking to troll Stickies, definitely check out the Ulua and Bopara from DarkSTar/Heru/Nomad... Billfish and Wahoo are VERY fond of them...
Here is a shot of a wahoo taking a liking to a Bopara being trolled....

Guys I should have noted that the pic is not mine, was posted on a US forum by a French member I believe, and I "right click" - "save image" 'd it... I would credit the photog if I knew who it was, but thought y'all would enjoy it... I believe it was taken on one of Nomad's trips...
I read a couple of Nomad's reports a while back where they hit an absolutely insane amount of Wahoo's, getting upwards of 50 per boat per session, all on stickbaits... apparently these 'Hoo's were wolf packing the lures, and they had up to 8 fish attacking the lure at once, just a few metres off the transom... Must be pretty damn epic to hit conditions like that with 'Hoo's to 40 kilos drilling your stickies all day long...
EDIT - Just checked the report again ( Wreck Reef, August 2006 ) and they caught 250 Wahoo in 2.5 days.....
 They had one 40 kilo fish skyrocket the stickie and crash head first into the Outboard cowling, thats how close and loose they were!!!!

I have been pretty much doing top water only trips for the last few months and every day i get asked the best way to work the lures. This link is worth studying hard and wathcing over and over to give you a good idea at what to do, especially watch what the rod is doing durng the sweep. Konishi does make it look easy but the guy is the best going around at this caper ------------- www.extremesportfishing.co.nz. Agent for Carpenter, Orion and ASWB products |
