[James W]

i thought i saw a really od jig in there too..2 lures to the left from the one shultzy pointed out...

[Schultzy]

Jimmy, That looks like a Smith's jig, an extremely old pattern that is still made by many manufacturers including Halco. Were once popular with commercial tuna poling boats. Strangely enough they still catch fish. I saw a young fellow catching bonito on one from the rocks in northern NSW last year.

[rayke1938]

Buzz. At the tip German Church Road Redland Bay. open 8 till 4 thursday to Sunday.It is only about 1 k from home. That is the first decent score I have had for about a month, You just have to be there at the right time.

Jimmy you can have the smiths jig if you want it.

Brian they are yours gratis.

Here are some photos of Shultzys new lure [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/P1010715_AFO-be8a14c7b5898c2e6639d92ea3163e23.jpg

It is carved out of wood and unfortunatly has a couple of splits in the wood but the paint is ok. [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/P1010716_AFO-e2c0a65d46ec277fa800207c95752bce.jpg

Middle one who knows looks like it has caught a lot of fish in its time as most of paint is wirn off.

Nice score Ray

That pink and white squid

We used to use a smaller one that you put a barrel sinker up its butt and a biggish hook behind it to catch southern blue fin tuna :woohoo:

It was all they would take

haven't seen them for years

Has any one seen a smaller version about 50mm long ???

would like to try em up here

Good ol' Recycle Land raises its head again. I was just thinking its been a bit quiet on that front with Ray not making hsis weekly 'Look what i scored today' posts.

Great pickup and top marks for farming them out to those with a vested interest.
