People are already making copies of expensive lures and in general they just aren't as good.4liters wrote:Won't be long before someone works out how to mass produce copies of good lures in their shed using a 3D printer and they'll become cheap enough.

Re: The $60 lure has arrived!
The latest edition of Freshwater Fishing mag has an article on Australia's best cod lures. Several anglers/writers gave their choices. One of the anglers named this lure as a new one that has potential! No coincidence that the angler is sponsored by Jackall! Another anglers choices were strangely enough aligned with his sponsors! But...Rod Harrison was the odd one out! He named some classic older lures of which I doubt if he recieves endorsements and gave a generic description of a spinnerbait, rather than naming brand names. I regret not going to his talk when he was here in Shepp a couple weeks ago. On another note, still wondering why I waste my money on magazines!

How much bloody fishing would you have to do to get sponsored by a well known lure company? Damn.

Re: The $60 lure has arrived!
Not much. Providing you can catch even one fish each short session, take a few pics at different angles, even pin some other lures for final touches. Show your face around, place well in the comps you fish and talk some bull along the way.4liters wrote:How much bloody fishing would you have to do to get sponsored by a well known lure company?

Most though are actually bloody good anglers that'd catch a fish just about anywhere

Re: The $60 lure has arrived!
I thought the store would struggle to move these lures when they arrived. They sat on the shelf for many months! Until the cold weather arrived which heralds big cod season here...and these lures walked out the door! A smaller version by Jackall arrived a month or two ago in the same store...they flew out the door!

Mind you reddies will smash anything
