It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

No not something viagra might help with but for those that have no idea what we are talking about a Flopy was a French made very effective surface lure and quite deadly at night when frogs are around. They are now worth money as an antique lure.

Paul

You can only buy Floppies second hand and are quite pricey. I stockpiled a few but unfortunately my supply is now getting low. A great lure, one that can be used diving or as a surface lure. The Plucky was also a good one, deadly on trout and maccas.

Unless you find a bargain they are collectors items these days.

This lure could be an alternative to the floppy :-D :

Me too, they'll never hit the water either.. certainly a treasure to behold.. :thumbsup:

Even though the water is dirty the fish should pick up the vibes from the lure... they fish dirt water in the Northern Territory and catch fish..
Only trouble fishing dirty water is you can't see the snags and it could be a costly day with loss of lures.. :-D
