Hummerfication of the Nation

[Gagga]

With the fish moving away from the edges in the last month or so I have been pulling out the vibes a little more frequently. One vibe in particular is smashing every other lure in my box.

The Hummer, by Strike Pro.

In only a few sessions with the lure I have accounted for a heap of bream as well as salmon and trevs.

Who else is experiencing success with the hummers? Post your photos.

Not quite in the same league as Beechey's, but I got this little soapie today on a hummer. I've now scored bream, jewies, trevs, salmon, snapper and flathead on hummers! Best lure ever!

Outstanding lure...Fished the glenelg river and the hummer turned a very slow bite into a productive trip ...Must get more.

What sort of a retrieve do you blokes use? I tried a Hummer this weekend and it hardly had any action at all. I had to retrieve it very quickly before I could see any action whatsoever. It didn't have much of an action on the drop either. I tried using both attachment points and, yes, I was using an attachment method that allows for total freedom of movement.

It's not like that I'm a newby when it comes to using vibes. I've caught lots of bream on other vibes, in fact, I caught 4 just today on a little Duo vibe.

So, what's the secret? Or, did I get a dud?

i dont think thay have much action i just do little hops with 5 second pauses inbetween but that hasnt paied off for me yet

I find that they vibrate more than most plastic vibes on the market. Its not a metal blade, so you wont get the violent vibration that you would from a cyber vibe or similar lure.

Try varying your retrieve, I often use a faster hop with very little pause to great effect. I also use the front tow point when casting the lure.

yer its only a very slight vibrate on the lift, at marlo last weekend guys were catching good fish on them but i couldnt seem to get 1 on it, always next time
