Big sinking Stickbait

Richo · #1 23-03-2009, 07:11 PM

GDay all,

I am trying to locate a bigger stickbait that is similar to the smaller Zipbait Raphael, it nees to cast real weel, sink and suspend towards the bottom. Size need to be between 90mm to 110mm.... I have come across some called Sebile but they are in the US (look ruddy awesome). I heard there were some from Shimano? but havn't been able to find anything.

Mark (Zipbaits) have you come across anything similar that might fit the bill?

cheers

The larger Maria Bluescodes are a sinking pencil style lure. Come in both 90mm and 115mm. I've got some here but won't post a link so as not to step on toes.

Zipbaits Rigge Dimly fits the bill but is 75mm. Killed the pig in Exmouth when we were there last, problem is it isn't readily available in Aus.

Hope this helps mate.

Richo the Monsoon Breaker might fit the bill 115mm, 29g as the name suggests can be cast in a Monsoon, has a wired through body so very strong have had customers in QLD retro fitting large single hooks and getting GT on them, have a word to Tom at Compleat the bought some a few weeks ago for the Salmon season

2 others in the range are Slide Swim Minnow 85 and Slide Swim Minnow 120, these are interesting in that the sliding weight system has been designed to easily release from the holding plate and slide to the tail so they'll walk across the surface or with weight held by magnet will have a wide wobble through the water column.

Top is Monsoon Breaker, Middle Slide Swim Minnow 120, Bottom Slide Swim Minnow 85

Cheers guys,

Look forward to seeing the sliding weight one, seems similar to the sebile ones I found in the US..... I`ll be getting onto Compleat Angler now and you`ll here from me also Dave.... Mark if you can get a few of those slide swim minnows in (both sizes) based around gold, green etc i will ensure they get taken by something big, after a pic of course.

cheers

Mark you are a star, will Tom (at compleat) have them or will I need to wait until you have good numbers so they can go in shops....

All three of them look pretty good to me, Gold Redhead Pearl Body sounds a goer for sure.

cheers

Storm Fluttersticks will do all the above except suspend near the bottom, pretty cheap as well and cast a mile.
cheers nereus
