Lures for Big Bangers

If you head over to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll5ehfnE9Vc
and ff to 10:19 you can see how the Malosi lures are made by hand.
A slow and exacting process that's for sure.
Not cheap though.............~ $180 ish.
They seem to work in FNQ, but then again most 'good' lures work up there.
Enjoy.

Re: Fly Fishing

That's pretty cool after all that time away. Obviously you have come into a heap of money lately eh? :yahoo: :up: I have a mate that flew outback milk runs for years just to keep his hours up and pay his lessons upgrade bills. He said he was too scared to total it all up! Hey, you can't take it with...

He's Back!

Then there was Pipe Dream II and also the skiff...

Re: VIetnam Veterans’ Day

Never forgotten Dig. And what I cannot forget is the piss poor treatment you all received when you came home. Great to see you are still on the forum. I hope you have you been able to chuck a lure or bait at some of the stonker bream that are supposed to out and about down there? Keep safe and stay ...

Victoria is the only state that does not require a standard 6x4 that is shorter than 3m and not wider than the towing vehicle to be registered. Lucky us eh? However the critical point that most users forget is that the...

Re: Hobie compass

Have a look at Maverick's review on here or on his other site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO1MlQeU5zU The new Compass is great. New hull shape and lots of tricky bits, but the compass has everything an angler needs. Lighter and a bit more maneuverable on smaller creeks or river stuff. Just need...
