Kokoda rigged shads

[Feral]

Anybody tried Kokoda fully rigged Shads before?

Got a packet this morning, they caught my eye, under 5 bucks for 5 scented sp's already on jigs. For that price I thought I would give them a go.

The Squidgies I got last week did not do much good, so I thought I might try these this week!

Update: Got 5 good bass on them today! Reckon I'll get a couple more packs!

Thats awesome!

Ignore my question in the report.

Where did you get these. Sounds like a sound investment to me.

P.S. Jerky retrieve? Fast retrieve? Slow retrieve? Need all the help i can get with SP's at teh moment!

Got them at Big W.

mixed retrieve, I basically do a wind (one turn of the handle) a pause a double wind, if I remember!

I think the reason I did so well compaired to Ferg, was that his bait caster and overhead combo was not flexible enough to cast well into the snags. It left him short of the snags quite often. He is normall land based, on the Stanley river, so used quite a stiff rod. He reckons next time he is going to take his black bream rod.

I've used before and got a big flatty in Currumbin Creek and another in the Terranora Inlet (Tweed river). I also got a cod off Peel island last year and a believe it or not a wobbiegong shark off Maclean Island.

I love em but only rate em about 5 out of 10!

[BIG DAVE 1]

Ive kinda stuck clear of kokoda lures as there not cheap and they have been dubbed jackal imitations and yeah if im guna spend good money i dont want a 2nd rate lure.

You can also buy them at b.c.f if your interested.

[Ash]

What are you tsk'ing about there Troy?

[Angus]

Well i picked some up today to give them a shot.

I mean jeeez, im fishing for bass thi friday after all, and i cant argue with Andrews results at Baroon Dam.

Brand names mean squat to me.

Im happy to try whats working. Unless some nice lure company out there would like to sonsor this site. Then ill be a ardent convert

[Brian D]

Kokoda poppers are great - Tweed River GT's, even got a Jack on em.

[James W]

im thinkin of tryin to get a sponership from kokoda..i have had great success with there sps and hardbodies.....but everyone has there favs

[ando_04]

hay jimmybob

how do u look at getting sponcership for kokoda? do you have to do a try out oh enter sertan fishing events and they monerter ur progress

[BIG DAVE 1]

Oh yeah give it a go, im heaps good with my hardbodies but i suck royally with my sps. if i could ever master the art of both types of lures id give the whole sponsership thing a go. Id rather be sponsered in shark fishing.

[ando_04]

hahah sponced in shark fishng ? whats the biggest shark you have cought dave and how many, coz all thoses pics form oxley creek are the same shark, jsut taken with diffent people

[BIG DAVE 1]

Hahaha nah it was more then 1 shark it was a couple. But ive got a new shark spot in the river im guna try. Also notice how i said i would rather BE sponsered in sharking. Rather then lures cause lures are alot cheaper then shark gear.

DAVE:P

[ando_04]

sharking gear is cheap as chips !!!!

[BIG DAVE 1]

yeah for the small stuff u guys get. Terry and marrek would agree with me that everything isnt cheap. wire trace is expensive, stainless steel hooks are expensive, harness's are expensive and the list does on. Plus after doing a rig u only get to use it once, with lures u can use them time after time, also with sps u get yto use them a couple of times. Also terry i got a new local shark spot. tell you some other time as im in class.

DAVE

[ando_04]

so how many sharks whould you say you have cought ? and dont lie

[BIG DAVE 1]

me alone i have got a few but im my group weve probs hooked onto between 25-30 adn larnded 2/3rds of them. My point is i can buy a lure for $4. i cant do a shark rig for that much.

DAVE

[blue_mako]

haha good luck with ur sharking sponsorship dave... even the brothers arnt sponcered and there pretty much the proest of the bunch... sharks are crap fighters anyway... they are just a constant pull and have little value in the fishing world... except for little kids like jordan... its always there dream to catch a big shark isnt it jord...

also i have never heard of sponcership from kokoda... if it happens ill give you to thumbs up

troy

[BIG DAVE 1]

oi the reason theres no sharking sponsership is cause its not a huge thing like lure and sp fishing. If it was a big sport im sure penn and alot of the makers of big reels would be involved.

Also u cant say u wouldnt love to fight a 70+ kg shark and pull it up on the beach.
