Trolling the bargain bins at Amart to feed my lure addiction I came across this little chap. River 2 Sea Glass Vib 65 - $11.75 down to $4.99!

Has anyone used on of these before? Any tips on technique?

I have yet to use it, but think that it should be good on bass holding deep out at NPD.

It's like a cross between a metal slug and a lipless crank bait.

Should cast like a bullet and sink like a stone...here's hoping it doesn't snag up until I can get a fish on it:P

i have used them on flatties etc, picked up a few nice flatties down the pin on one

[Rocket75]

Thanks R.R, flatties hey...slow steady retieve or jigging?

[Gad]

another idea,take the trebles and rings off,put heavy duty rings on top and rear,put heavy duty single 4/0-5/0 straight aligned hook on rear,flick it out across a flat,down into deep dropoff,you never know..it`s all about experimenting???

[Rocket75]

Not a bad idea Gad, keen to see what the action is like "as is" to start with. If it as too subtle the heavier gear might kill it?

I have used them rocket on bass at hinze and got a few small ones in the yak. They seem to have a good action but you have to work it pretty fast to get the action out of it.

[Rocket75]

thanks Bretto...I wonder how they go with a quickish troll?

I grabbed a handful when I first saw them. Yet to land a fish on one though. They don't give much of a buzz on the retrieve.

Nice weight and they do cast pretty well on spin gear.

I work them pretty fast so they don't get snagged up on the bottom.

I'm sure if I slowed it down a bit I'd hook something, but as you probably know North Pine at the moment doesn't really allow too much slow rolling of any lure except spinner baits.

[Rocket75]

yeh, catch 22...slow down to catch the fish and possibly get a snag or keep it away from both !...at $4.99 v $11.00 I'm more likely to slow down!

When bream are deep and actively feeding they are dynamite. As others have said they won't vibrate unless worked quickly. I used a jerk and pause retrieve around the pylons in the Bris Riv and nailed plenty of bream. Also used them once at Borumba and nailed a catty, but that weekend (2008 ABT qual) no one was catching fish.

[Rocket75]

Bream~! I didn't pick it as a bream lure, but if I get a chance I'll be giving it a go;) thanks Tez

Add a bit of contrasting colour and try jigging it at wivenhoe

[username_taken]

I've caught bream on that exact colour in the brissie river.
