New toys from Orion Lures. I could not get them in NZ or OZ, although Gara pro shop do have some, so ordered them from the maker, Eric in France. 40 Euros each and 12 Euros for postage, 5 days, no tax. Can't wait to give them a try. ------------- I might have Alzheimer's, but at least I don't have Alzheimer's. |

They don't have the character of a wooden lure tho Falco!   But like you said, man are they "brick **** house" tough! ------------- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reel-Appeal-Lures/300309486704362 |

I love these lures, they have been proven fish catchers on my boat for a while now.
In New Caledonia they dominated, especially the Nambas. ------------- www.extremesportfishing.co.nz. Agent for Carpenter, Orion and ASWB products |

Aaron,think they are made in France mate and hand made,so they are slow out the blocks but Mark might be able to help you get some. ------------- Once the idiots turn up..Im outta here...No time for Drama Queens. |

Guys, Try Ben P @ Nomad Sportfishing NZ, if he doesn't have the Orion's in stock he can get them for you. Chur. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reel-Appeal-Lures/300309486704362 |

I could not find any bigfoot 140's in NZ or OZ, but Nomad do have some 210 Nambas. Gara proshop in OZ do have a few poppers , but an email to Eric in France and they'll be here next week. He does not have all the colour range at present but will do by the end of July. ------------- I might have Alzheimer's, but at least I don't have Alzheimer's. |

Hey guys I am off to Vanuatu in August and teaming up with Mad fisho for a couple of charters and would dearly love to take a Nambas with me to try, so if anyone has one they would like to part with send me a pm.

You can buy them there in Port villa for a reasonable price.... the shop is just off the main road down in town in one of the newer shop complexes ------------- "I love standing by the ocean and just knowing what its for" |
