New Damiki Products for this Year

[Zim man]

Hi All

The Fishing Industry Tackle Show is in 6 weeks time and like many other companies i have quite a few new products. I thought i would start a thread to highlight some of the new things that are coming in the next 12 months. I will add new products every couple of days to the thread. Closer to the show i will be able to have a timeframe for when the new products will be available.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to post. After the afta show, i will put up some pics of the show itself.

First lure up is the Striker 90.

[wesfish]

i was wondering if there is a sinking stick bait in your range about 50-75mm would be good! oh and the range on this thread look the goods!

[Little Grey Men]

Great looking lure. I'm thinking they would be good for flathead and edge feeding bass.

What sorts of hooks are you running on them ?

[fisherjack1394]

those lures look great

Agreed!! Great sand flat lure for Crocs.

It is on the cards, i am looking at getting a 50mm stick bait, a 45mm popper and a few other things. the R & D is busy though doing other products for the USA market.

The hooks on the Damiki range, varies from Owners to Mustard and Damiki also are suing their own Viper range of hooks which come on the Napjarus , Saemis and Vault 42, & 55.

On the Striker though, i would presume it would be mustards at the moment and then the Vipers would be used for the newer stuff.

[Zim man]

Seeing as though there has been good success with the Napjaru lipless hardbodies, i would add their info sheet to the thread.

they are pretty light for their size and as such have a slower sink rate than other lures of this type. they also have several sound chambers with more than 3 sets of rattles.

for those who are interested the RRP is $14.99

more stuff coming up later this week

thanks for reading

Love the strikers.

Zim man, are the Napjaru vibes available in regular stores yet, or are do they need to be purchased from you directly?

They really seem to be the magic lure at NPD at the moment. I've tried a number of different vibes out there but they're not working anything like the Napjaru's - obviously there is something very special about them.

Victor

[Little Grey Men]

Those Napjaru's are good gear. When they were tied on yesterday at the dam it was like someone flicked a big switch and BOOOOM !!!

The hooks are nice and strong too. Some big bass were boated and the hooks remained nice and straight.

I won't tell what colour I used though...shhhhh.

They remind me of Mazzy Vibes without the crazy cost.

I'll get an order in soon Rob.

[Zim man]

They are a new product, having only been out for a few weeks. Having said that deliveries were made to all BCF stores around Queensland and NSW. No independant retailers in brissi has them yet. I am almost sold out of them, next lot of stock to arrive mid july. I will have some with me at the winter camp.

As soon as the new stuff arrives i will let you know.

cheers

Viclick,

BCF lawnton had a few left on Sunday morning after i grabbed a hand full.

Mick.

[viclick]

Thanks Zim man for the info.

Thanks Mick I'll check if they have any left. The closest BCF to me is Keperra but I've never seen any Damiki stuff there - seems not all of their stores carry the same ranges of products.

Victor

[rayke1938]

I have asked twice for them at Capalaba. Their computer says they are in stock but apparently they are hiding in a back room waiting to be found and put on display.

Cheers

Ray

[Zim man]

thats strange ray, Capalaba is one of the busiest stores that i sell to. i will follow up on it and see what they say.

Viclick, Keperra should also have the Napjarus. Most of the Damiki's in the stores are placed on the lower shelves and are harder to find. I struggle at times. The Napjarus are in bright yellow packaging and should stand out a bit.

[Zim man]

Next one up is a big topwater designed for Amazons Peacock Bass. These lures are awesome and have top paint jobs, i have already had requests from lure collectors for a couple.

Not sure on the release date yet (subject to demand at Afta show) or the exact pricing, but i beleive it would be in the $25 plus range. I will edit the post when i have the exact price.

Thanks for reading and tight lines

rob

[Feral]

Might be useful for Barra those!

[Zim man]

Another surface lure is the Dolphin 90. lots of rattles and its ligth weight make this lure very easy to impart a walk the dog action.

RRP is is $15.99

[fishyman]

any chance of like a 65-70mm of those???

its be awesome for bream

[Zim man]

a smaller version is on the cards, but it may be while though before it is available.

[kriso]

those dolphins in black holo and black gold holo look awesome!!!! are they at the retailers yet?

[Zim man]

Hi Kriso

cheers

rob

[kriso]

cheers rob, thats close to work to wich comes in handy will have to get down there and suss them out!

[Angus]

Yeap Dolpins looks awesome. Would def get a smaller sized one.

Rob swam those Tukan's at hinze as well (a smaller variety) and they had an AWESOME walk the dog action.

Angus

[Zim man]

another two new products to close off the week. i dont know about you but i am glad this week is done

This guy below is the smaller version of the Tukun 130. This is the one that i was throughing around at Hinze. It has a very nice action and the rattles are pretty loud as well.

No definite release date as yet, but that will be clearer after the show.

Have a good week and tightlines for those fishing

rob

[kriso]

jeez im gunna have to start saving cause i see quite alot lures i want lol!

[Little Grey Men]

What an awesome range of lures. Covering a wide range of fishing techniques and species.

Everything you've put up so far has caught my eye.

[bootyinblue]

Ohhh man... so man lures and only 5 days barra fishing in November. I think most people know about my 'vast' fresh water knowledge, but I am sure some of those bigger ones will be coming with me to find a barra with my name on it.

[Zim man]

next on the new product line up is the Poppy 75 , termed a fusion minnow by the damiki designers. One jerk of the rod and it acts like a popper, if you give the rod around 3 quick jerks, the first pull makes it act like a popper, the following two pulls get the lure 6 inches under the water in an erratic action. you can then pause and let it float up to repeat that action, or continue with a slow retrieve and it will swim about 6 inches under in a very fish appealing way. i will try and get a youtube clip of it up and running over the next couple weeks.

I did a special order for a store in cleveland and he had good things to say about them.

cheers

rob

[kriso]

sounds awesome good size too

[yoyo]

looks good, i can see bretto doing some damage with those !

[Davo_Dinkum]

nice .

mite have to get some of them .

i'm interested in fishing with poppers more.

the slow retrieve with it swimming just under the water would suit me i reckon.

good for the beginner.

[fishyman]

im gonna have to get a few of these for when it heats up

JACK TIME!!

[Zim man]

4 more for the week

for the bass guys, this lure has been pretty productive during the past summer

Next is the driller, which is a pretty large tail spinner, length of the body is 55 mm and the blade is a similar length.

The ecostick is another one of the surface lures that will be out this year

finally the Lexus, in two sizes, this lure has a great action. I have a youtube video of its swimming motion here

tight lines all

[jackman60]

[Brian D]

OK you are starting to get my attention now. Closest store to GC Main Beach or Beenleigh?

Can I do a direct order once the big surface lures are released?

No stores as yet mate in your area, but i have just signed on an Agent to cover SEQ so things you change soon. In the meantime, you could just do a direct order when the products come out

[Zim man]

final 3 lures are below guys enjoy :ll:

The AFTA show is in a couple weeks. I intend to take some pics and will try and do a small writ up on it to show you guys what happens there.

tight lines

Picked up some Napjaru's today. Fortunately some of these new ones aren't out yet or we might be eating bread and water for a while.

Don't suppose you want any of these 'tournament tested' Zim Man
