GLADIATOR Bingo Mini Crank 30mm

[Kingpin]

GLADIATOR has released its range of Bingo Mini Crank 30mm lures last week. All stock should be hitting the shops as we speak.

The range consists of deep diving and shallow running 30mm hard body lures that in testing had great success on bream - they also look good for bass and other natives.

The deep runners dive to around 1.2m, the shallow runners swim at between 20 – 60cm. The colours have been designed to fish clear or dirty water and feature an action to mimic Aussie baitfish. The lures are rounded off with quality split rings and VMC trebles.

Here's a few shots from one of our sponsored anglers, Anthony Thorpe. These were caught this morning fishing Lake Macquarie.

Very nice looking lures, whats the aproxamate RRP?

Hey,

They look pretty good, like the bottom 2 colours in particular. Looks like your pro staff have upgraded the trebles to either owner or decoys looking at the photo's.

Cheers,

Hi Stompy

They are VMC BN hooks that we are trialling on new lures.

Steve,

My appologies, they looked different to the ones on the lure. Anyway they look pretty good, I'll be gabbing a few to try out.

Hi Stompy

No you are right they are different to the ones fitted on the lure. We are developing a new 45mm sinking stick bait and our manufacturer wants us to trial these hooks to use on it.

Cheers

ok for some reason I cannot post on this thread. Is it something I said?

[GTgeoff]

Had a blinder of a session with the Bingo today. It was a numbers day, with a fair few around 30 and 31. Unfortunately nothing bigger.

One of the Bingo 30s, it came back swimming past the camera

Couple of close ups of the Bingo in action.

They look great and a perfect snack size
for hungry Bream.

For the number of fish I pinged on the Bingo, it didnt leak. Didnt even lose colour. I kept bending the VMC hooks back and it still kept hooking up. I did change the rear hook towards the end of the session. When I get back home I'll post up the bingo in its slayed condition, plus I think the VMC hook is still on the front. So you'll see how mangled it got but it still caught fish

PS no affiliation with Gladiator, only that Trailblazer's in Albany have them in stock. So I gave one a go.

Close up of the Bingo. Only a few marks on the side. VMC totally mangled
