Interesting "hard" Lures

[Kat]

I was browsing some online tackle shops and came across these very interesting shaped Lures - I wonder if they work well? LMAO

 

[Kat]

Are they for catching wobbedong? Lol

[Cobiaaddict]

Interesting site that one

They’re a specialty lure made just to catch these fish

Certainly wouldn’t want to be strolling along that beach!

they are really good for 3 metre flatties for someone reason they really seem to like the D&CK shape I think it gives a amazing action in the water and the flatties simply cannot resist the D just make sure to use atleast 40lb leader so you can land those 2.8 and 3 metre flatties

Go trolling for mermaids.

Some very interesting web links you people seem to have 'stumbled upon' .......... . You'd need to use some very strong 'tackle' to land anything with them ........

Hi @kmcrosby78 I am not sure I like the way you have put quote marks around the words "stumbled upon" - it denotes sarcasm.  Are you saying we are some kind of degenerates trolling the web for this type of thing? I certainly do not - but Greg.....well he seemed to "find" that article pretty quickly.  It is almost like it was saved in favourites or something.  Lol

Oh contraire! I keep up with the news, remember things (well, some things) and use them as appropriate. If you look closely, you will see that the news article I referred to is from ABC News, the national news network. A reputable (well some would say that at least) news source. Hardly a porn site. Can I help it if a few million **** fish want to strand themselves on a far away beach? I think not!
 

in fact, I don’t even know that Pornhub, Redtube or such sites exist. I just made those names up now.

Let's not get carried away.

Remember this is a family appropriate site.

[Kat]

Sorry

Yes. Sorry @ellicat

No need to be sorry. I was just jumping in before it could sink to those depths.

I heard the mermans like them too. Lol.

I wonder what the action is like on those lures and if they’d actually work though..

Hi Hamish

I was wondering the same thing - but mostly wondering what on earth the designer was thinking? I am baffled.

It's a gimmick that will work. 

I garrantee when the Spaniards are on the chew that they would smash one of these in a heartbeat. Spaniards love shiny things. So do tuna. 

Also, if you ever saw (dare I say it) ifish when the knucklehead used a open ended ring spanner as a deepwater jig and caught a good sized snapper. Same principle. 

It's not the shape so much as the shine.

Anyone know where you could buy one locally?

Hi @DropBear. You had to ask!  I googled penis shaped fishing lures.  Couldn't find any local but I will ask my local tackle shop when I am there next he has thousands of different lures.

So I asked at my favourite tackle shop - Doug Burts Tackle World - fantastic guy BTW.  Watch his reports on Facebook if you fish the GC.  Anyway, he laughed and said he used to stock them and mainly women buy them - but said no-one imports them to Australia anymore.  He also mentioned that they did catch fish! Lol.  Mermans Hamish.
