The process went through many prototypes and various changes to get everything just right
![]() . . . . . . . The orgional idea was to have it replicating a squid. Check out my horibble drawing ![]()

That idea was soon put aside. and after a few more changes to get the vibration just right we ended up with this

The final Prototype was tested and tested again.
It certainly worked, the assist hooks were a definite winner

Finding the right hooks put the project back. Finding a super sharp and super sticky hook wasnt as easy as i thaught.
Finally i found one that could hold up to the monsters. With this BEAST being the proof in the pudding ![]() Have a close look at how battered the lure is.

With the right hooks found it was now time to go into production.
Colours are just as important as the lure. We all know how much bream like feeding on mussels. So why not create a lure with one side covered in REAL ABALONE shell. So when it sinks it will flutter down and look like a cracked mussel.

So why 38 ???????????
Measuring 38mm and weighing 3.8grams only one name was an option. 3 two points alow for varying vibration levels. An extra hook point in the middle gives the option of using duel trebles for those who prefer this hook style. Two "tentacles" provide more fish attracting ability and also help slow the sink rate. The tentacles also help bream "slurp" the hooks in when using them on surface plastics.

3 Pack replacement hooks will also be available and are perfect for retro fitting for topwater lures.
