I really like the new TT GhostBlade 1/12oz alot lighter than most and vibrate more. The Damiki Vault is a great vibe and also the Ecogear VX35 work well.

I personally like the ecogear and strike pro

Its good to have a variety of brands and shapes...each type will vibrate differently depending on its shape, setup etc. Some days a certain type fished at a certain speed is the only working option. Go from the Berkley MF40 soft vibe which you will barely feel thru the rod to something that will really fizz.

Hi mate try the strike pro cyber vibes in the 35 and 40 good colours A18, JU009 JU007, also the micro vibes are great in the 500G and A53.

I like the Damiki Vaults and the Eco Gear ones. The Damiki has a really nice fast vibe and has W hooks so good for snaggy areas and i like the Eco Gear as the vibration is really good at low speeds unlike some that need to be going at a fast wind to vibrate

a couple of other excellent blades are the 30 mm jazz bokun and the 43 mm jazz sonic boom

i dont cast the blades that often, they dont seem to be working too well in my part of the world ( or my technique is no good). But when i do throw one its usually the strikepro cybervibe 35. Have snagged a couple of bream on them.

But they do work well on silver trevally down queenscliff way!!

And best of all there cheap.

smith sea bullet i think they are called are awsome in deep water or any deep schooled fish and zipbaits metal face over flats and other shallow stuff seems to work a treat for me

Try evergreen 1/8 Little Max blade...expecially in the 50 colour...i caught jewie and breams with it. Besides, it install with W hook so will not get snag easily and it made in Japan (= quality)

Not always true, but in this case you are spot on. I have taken bream on their 3/4 ounce vibes when targetting large species. Very well made lure and not too exy$$$wise. I have a few of the impact blades sitting around waiting to get swum. They certainly look the goods but whether they catch fish... to be decided.

I mainly use eco gear because a mate owns a takle shop & I can get them cheap. VX40's are great in estuarys for bream, trevally flatties & the 35 when fish are finiky. Don't mind the ZX35 either. I use the damiki ones alot too they are good value for money & tt's are good, but I like the other two brands actions better.

Been hearing positive thoughts on the jazz range, wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of those.

These here are a little pricey also but might be worth checkin out.....
