I love this lure.

Hey bud,

I find them to be exellent, i'v been catching heaps of bream on them over the last few months and have found them to be hassle free.

iv casted them all day long with out them tangleing up or catching on weed.

you dont need to be pro to catch fish on them just give them a slow lift.

i can't fault them,best vibration that i've found in a blade.also pretty much snag proof,much easier to shake off than a lure with two sets of trebles.nice short slow lifts work well for me.

Not a bad lure, the flathead at a particular spot here Deano, take a real liking to them. Havent fished them much for bream, they sink a bit quick for my likingm, unlike the bassday kangoku vibe. I have caught a heap of tailor on them too, ripping the jig up and they were hitting it on the drop.
If i go out tomorrow, i'll give them a try for you.

what size are good for bream?

DrPopper · #7 24-07-2010, 06:13 AM

ZX's are excellent I've had no issues with them whatsoever. The bream like em, Perch like em and Flatties seems to like em too. I've caught a few Trev's, Choppers, Ludrick and even Flounders on them.

Where can i get them from?? and how much???

Rocksy · #10 26-07-2010, 03:32 AM

I caught a pair of 25cm Salmon, and a 2kg ish Pinky (which snapped my leader at the net) on the Zx 6.4gram today.
Spewing about the snapper, first one i've ever hooked on a lure and had 3 people in the boat in utter disbelief.
Bought two more.

Edit: i caught the salmon on the VX actually, in black.

Just missed out. Mo's had them for $14.65 a week or two ago. If you are in Melbourne Aussie Angler has a few for $15 at the moment. I grabbed a couple and the boss grabbed a handful. Not bad price if you ask me considering i have seen them for over $30 before

If they made a 10gram, it'd be dynamite on snapper when the current is a bit to strong for the lighter ones. Might adapt one of the new ones with slightly larger assist hooks.
