Crazy deep Poltergeists

[Feral]

For those of you who did not see any of the Crazy Deep Poltergeists at Baroon Pocket - here are some pics of my brown one (have not found a purple one yet) they are a bit hard to come by. BCF list them on their site, but the photo is only a 3m one, so will have to go have a look in the shop.

Supposed to be good for 8m plus! (did not have the heart to ask Dan if we could troll his until it started hitting the bottom to check out the depth claim!)

But I am on a mission to score a couple of purple ones!

Good one. I drove all the way to Tackle Warehouse on old Cleveland road to get mine and they had a few more purples and some other colours. The have the biggest range of quality lures I've seen so far in Brissie close to the CBD. Prices are a little higher though but I really don't care.

Feral not nocking that lure but the ultra deep boomerangs go at about the same depth and are much easier to find in tackleshops not sure on the price difference between them I have some of the 5m versions of that lure and they work well

The purple/silver one that I had at Baroon came from BCF at Virginia, and at the time (last week) they had more, but may have sold out since. Sounds like I was lucky, apart from Amart it was the only place I had looked for them and Bingo!

Ended up taking 4 bass with it, all on the troll.

Yeah, I nearly bought one of those boomerangs after Schultzy had reported on them but the first one I picked up had a crooked bib and it put me off. I'm guessing it was probably 1 in a thousand like that though so I'll probably go buy one next time someone is kind enough to take me out bassin. I found the Poltergeist was very difficult to cast any sort of distance and seems to be more of a trolling lure, how do the predetek lures go with casting? I suppose anything with a giant bib is going to create a lot of drag in the air.

I snagged my purple one in about 7m according to the sounder, so definately go to advertised depth!

Boy they put up a fight though, realing it back in is almost like fighting a real fish

Need to get a slightly heavier rod for trolling them I think

[Dan23]

Also those 8M lures are pretty full on with the amount of pressure they put on your rod. It put a full bend in my 10-17 TD Advantage so I don't know how you'd go using a 6lb outfit. Probably more suited to a 12lb BC setup.

Edit: beat me to it UT

The boomerangs will cast better in the shallower versions but I mainl use them for trolling have caught lots of bass and yellas on them at many dams ultra deep and deep are the main sizes you would use and hot tiger,black bettleand purple are my favourites with hot tiger catching majority of fish at somerset for me.

Has anyone used them in the salt?

I like the boomerangs to, but do they do them that small? its only a 50mm lure, the deep boomerangs I have are 80mm (bought for barra) If they do I'll look at them as well!

[STU]

I think the ones I got are 65mm

[Plastic Man]

stu im sure the ones we use are 65mm classic bass trolling lure

[Cowfish13]

The Polteguiests are a few $ cheaper than the boomerangs. I got both (though not the super deep models) for Murray Cod fishing and they both casted pretty well. They're heavy lures so although the bib puts a bit of drag, I can easily cast them in nearly all conditions:)

Thats small enough, I'll have a look for one or two!

Ta for the info!

I reckon the DP's might be the go, claimed diving depth of 7m. [img size=450]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/boomerang_colours_450.jpg

I have a bibless MF hanging on my fence. It's been there for about 10 years now.

The bib is out west somewhere.

Think it hit the tree at just the right angle:S

Love the little Australia on their side [img size=419]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/Old_Booma.JPG

Feral: Terry gets a lot of his bass on the purple ones. I think it all started with a combination of Lee's magical deep diving purple lures and Schultz's product review. As Lee's lures are hard to come by, the Boomerangs seemed the next best choice. And rightly so!

HT(hot tiger)and YT(yellow tiger) were awesome lures at somerset when we use to troll and we use to use AG(aussie gold) a lot too just awesome lures

Awesome lures alright, too bad they require the most boring technique in the book to use

[kriso]

what ever floats your boat i guess

[Terry H]

I got them before I heard schultzy was using the Angus.

Actually - It was a combination of Lee's purple ones, and you mentioning you'd found these purple deep divers:P

I haven't really used my boomerangs in creeks/rivers (saltwater) because I usually end up trying to dredge deep canal in the creekbed.
