Has any one used the Ti-sing blade

[bhillster]

Seen this brand of blade on the shelf the other day.

Was planning on buying a TT Switch Blade to add to the arsenal.

But need an opinion on this brand cos they look the goods and being a Jap lure they are bound to work.

Any one had success ?

Never seen them on the shelf in a tackle shop but I'd give them a swim for sure. If you find someone that sells them let me know.

Yep they have them at Ranger Camping on Albany HWY ..Look better in the flesh ?????LOL Metal.... than on the web site.

I got mine about 3 weeks ago but still haven't had a chance to use it. IMO it looks better than a vibe and doesn't look like it needs any sticky weight either.

Complete Angler, Nedlands has it of course!

Not quite sure of that lineage 'bh' , but the lure is a cracker.

Punched & stamped titanium spine/keel that is wafer thin and tough as goat's knees. The casting/bonding process to attach the body profiles is pretty kool too and check out the effort the R2S designers put into the paint job on these 08 prototypes.

R2S couldn't find the perfectly balanced 'W' hooks to suit their designs so they made their own hooks for these too!

They have a real ZZZZZZZ on the lift, 1/8th is the perfect Swan size.

my tackle o' has these.........been holding off.

They look really neat, and heavy for their size. I am sure they will work.

Yeah guys, I bought these weeks ago and used them at Hinze Dam at the Gold Coast.... got onto a couple of fish on them.

pic of the yella and the damage the eel tail cattie did to the hooks on one of the lures.

personally I've found the action to not be as strong as other blades (eg tt-switchblade) at slower speeds. Haven't really had a chance to use them again recently. Also caught a banded grunter on the blade.

Obviously you catch fish like that but I reckon you should lose the swivel and clip. It will effect the action not to mention probably some scare some of the shy fish away.

[dostylz]

Yeah I usually don't fish like that. It was a dead day and I was bored so was trying everything in my tacklebox and was sick of retying every 15minutes. It all started with deadsticking the blade while fishing with shrimp... caught a banded grunter. Figured I could catch another banded grunter by jigging... instead I caught those.

thay got them at swan boat hire in maroochy. heavy little suckers

[jackall]

the black and orange one goes alright
got a few little ones on the weekend but thats about all so far

Find that the TT's and vx's work well but prefer the evergreen blades are super IMAO.
