Got some of his lures in Tonga and the GTs gobble them up. His coating process is very durable. Sam is the man. The only problem is they are so nice they are hard to put in the water knowing some big toothy critter is going to beat them up ------------- Tis better to have hooked and lost than never to have hooked at all. |

Thanks guys  Things may seem quiet lately on the lure front, but I have had my head down in the shop trying all kinds of things... Good to hear the finish is holding up well on the GT's Kurt, nothing worse than the finish falling off; after all I am a end user also. Upon Kurt's request I have upgraded the through wire to make the lure more resistant to the twisting and bending forces when hooked up, the wire was never compromised but if I can improve and make the end product better, I will. Looking forward to getting some lures to Dubai Fishmad, I have seen many large fish coming from these waters of late... Bring it on! ------------- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reel-Appeal-Lures/300309486704362 |

All bagged up and ready to go...   I didn't end up with the Fusilier pattern Clem, I couldn't get the paint right but have some on the way that will get me closer to achieving the Variable-Striped Fusilier pattern...Instead went for a Raspberry Mack given how well red fishes, and pink being the "hot" colour in your neck of the woods at the moment, I thought we should meet in the middle and go hand foiled with a Raspberry livery  The poppers are black/white for your Kiwi roots and another I call "Galaxy" to match up to your sick Paua Stickbait! These won't last long, darker colours have been fishing so good.  Check the wire on these puppy's, all my GT poppers (excluding light tackle lures) now run 2.4mm wire, these fish are so strong it pays to show them some respect so I went as large as I can and still be able to bend the wire... Send me a PM Clem and we will get these bad boy's on there way to Dubai! ------------- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reel-Appeal-Lures/300309486704362 |

The Stick Bait still doesn't have a name... Will give the honours to our friend Nomad here on F.Net... Going to make up some new labels with just RAL to save space and people getting their tongue twisted Will also make up some labels with the name for the stick bait...What shall it be bro? ------------- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reel-Appeal-Lures/300309486704362 |

Thanks Ian... I have finished more lures for you also, just need to package them up... Coral Trout pattern only has a orange base down, needs some spots and a steady hand Here's a new pattern coming your way, its my "Insomnia" series, all strung out and in a white suit... Hopefully I can make up a stick bait for myself (I get the screw ups ) ------------- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reel-Appeal-Lures/300309486704362 |
