I am guessing the price tag on the Strike Pro lures is not that bad either?
thanks

$14.99 at my local. I'd say some others would be around the $12-13 mark. Only 2.2gm but they did the job

They seem to be a nice little lure, plus they proved they work too. Well done.
cheers

Nice fish, would you mind sharing the location or is that under wraps?

I have the view that if members wanted to share the location, it would be in the first post! But then I may be proved wrong!!! :-D

Strike Pro Vibes are sometimes on sale at Rays near Plenty Valley @ $7 or $8 on managers special.
The old story, timing is everything.
To find a fish
You do the miles.
Catch the fish
and earn the smiles.

Lord,allow me to catch a fish, so large that even I,when speaking of it afterwards.........May have no need to lie !!!

I have been holding out on you all!!!! The best ever trout lure in the universe is the Panther Martin 'Dressed' spinner! OK, I haven't actually caught a trout on one of these yet, because I haven't used them in decent trout waters. The one time I did use them was to try them in the local channels after Redfin. These spinners work like a charm!

The odd thing about this spinner is the shaft actually goes through the blade! This virtually eliminates line twist! There are other brands as well that have this design. The blades rotate at a slow speed also - as in the blade will still rotate at a slow retrieve speed. I am sure it will work on the trout!
thanks
Jim

It may be an idea to start a thread in the 'For Sale' section.

Cheers Jim. Might just do that even though I didn't join up to flog gear. Merely trying to help fellow fishers out with hard to locate lures.
