If you look at Video of how the SWITCH 66 sits in the water on the Pause

Its tail is down under the water Check It Out Bit like a SAMMY 65

Its weighted purposely like this.

Mr Breambo is more inclined to have a crack

So whether you need assist hooks mmmm very debatable

But the option is there I suppose

Id be interested in feedback if tried

Pete assists do make a difference , I've fished them a lot with an with out.... When they aren't committing and smashing them. The assists have been their un-doing ....

I agree Toby have used then on the OSP many times.

Have not had a need yet with the SWITCH 66

You know me quite wellish. I can guarantee mate Ive smashed

Big Number Sessions of Mr Breambo using the SWITCH 66 as is.

Time will tell. There may come a day I need to Try Assists.

Im all for pimping the lure to suit the day etc.

Keeping them on the surface is super important IMO. Up here on the coast. Skipping them across the surface quite fast then pausing is the gun retrieve.

We found the fact you can get them down about 400mm an advantage as well. At the Blackwood we sat them on the surface in the shallows and bounced them off the timber as the lure came out. Caught some great fish that way.

Awesome,
Thats what we have found as well in Gippy.
Get the surface splash etc to get some interest.
Then go subsurface for the Hit
I Just Love It
To me this is my ultimate way to Catch Bream

All jokes aside I think it's important for people to know that Anthony has only in the last week or so become associated with fish tech(OSP). Anyone who knows him or is a Facebook friend of him knows how well he has been doing on the OSP Bent Minnow even before his association begin.

Also gives me tips on how to use them more effectively.

What a great Debate

Reminds me of the Old Breammaster

Debate without getting Nasty & Personal

Love it

I will Shoot Some GO PRO Footage soon

Then all will be revealed with LIVE ACTION

Interesting debate as usual -the buoancy of a lure can be affected by quite a few variables and i dont believe that lures placed side by side in a container of water do any of them any justice. The true test of its action really will come when it is tied on the end of a rod . Florocarbon leaders ( the choice of leader material of most bream anglers these days) can play havoc with a surface lures ability to float back up after it has been worked below the surface , due to the fact that florocarbon sinks . The longer the lure is left to pause , the more the leader will tend to force it under the surface and inhibit it from floating again . Yes you can change to monofilament lines - but not many of us do- and we shouldnt have to!
These are the type of real time comparisons that need to be looked at, and will offer the fisherman a true reflextion of what a lure is actually capable of. Lengthening or shortening ones leader will also affect the float rate of the lure; as will the amount of surface activity (waves, current , etc) its a well known fact that bream will generally feed a lot more aggresively on a surface lure when thers is a bit of breeze about - in these adverse conditions the quality lures will keep offering the angler consistent performance straight out of the box.

Good fishing to you all and i hope you all got amongst the fish over the chrissy break

Probably ment to say in the same conditions and situation that all similar lures would achieve the similar results

Its angling skill 90% of the time with the right type of lure

Not the exact lure

No Offence intended to anyone

Regards Nordy

This is a good point, but is the marketing and bug that catches the Fisherman. One seems someone cleaning up with a lure, goes and buys it and is sometimes dissapointed as to why he did not catch anything ??? Definately comes down to the user 90% of the time. And a lure that just sits in your tackle box withouth getting used decently doesn't make it a crap lure.............

Skill catches bream ........ lures help , type of lure may help a bit more .. but skill rules

GOOD DEBATE

Yes OSPs Have small place in my Tackle Box as well .

Not every lure suits every situation.

I made the SWITCH 66 to Suit the way I like it to Perform

By the Way I normally use 6 + metres of Sunline Flurocarbon Leader

What was the variables ????

Leader Size, Leader Length, Lure Color, Anglers Ability.

No Offence But Two Guys catch 16 Bream and One guy get nothing mmmm dose not sound right to me.

SWITCH 66 is a superb Bream Catching Lure

I will prove it soon with FOOTAGE to all the non believers

With Some LIVE ACTION
