Hey,

I have used the small bettle before, I think I still have a few in the tackle box. They are pretty light to cast at 2.3gm, but cetainly work well nice tight action and very slim at the back which helps convert hook ups! I also had a couple that were ultra shallow from memory.

Like the look of the Cooky & 50cm Beetle. Will give them a run for sure.

Cheers,

Look the goods rick. Will have to find some room in the tackle box.

You like the look of the smaller Diving Beetle.It has a tight shimmy action and suspends at 4ft.Stores across all of Oz will see stock over the next few weeks including W.A

Hi Dan,
The Mets may look the same in the image but when you compare the lures side by side they are compleatly different

Yes Ross,
spend more money on lures just what the other half wants to hear

I hope our fish over here can speak Japanese , otherwise they might not understand the concept of Japenese lures..

Whats the story with the single hook rather than the treble??

The single Decoy gives a better hook up rate on these lures and also gives a better action on these lures as they are only 30mm long

[Mooza81]

Roger that.. Thanks.

And also these are essentially trout lures, with the requisite trout specced hook

Comparisons between the Beetles and Ecogear SXs are inevitable so yep they look similar but the Beetles have a tighter shimmy-which I like
