Long Live The (Strike) King

This thread discusses the Content article: Long Live The (Strike) King

Looks like The Strike King range are doing well.

Any other members had much luck with them in Salt and what was you using?

I'm not realy a Bream fisho, but what do you recommend out of the HB's and SP's for Snapper or Jacks?

A great read Angus, Thanks mate. I'll be talking with you soon about buying some of these goodies;):woohoo:

Mate check the X-Too soft plastics. They are essentially a 5" Jerk Shad, but they have an awesome stretch and are far far hardier.

Angus

Thanks Angus, I'll go have a look at them in the shop and get back to ya.

Jayson

[Angus]

Also for other saltwater options ill wait and see if Jimmybob and Ash put their 2 cents in.

I have caught moses perch and bream on the Bleeding Pro Model Crank Bait.

Ash has caught whiting and cod on the Bitsy Minnow.

And Jimmybob has caught bream on the Bleeding Pro Model as well. (In the shallower diving model).

Jimmy is talking up the Eyeball Bio for Snapper.

I think I mite grab a couple of pkts of them in 5". See what the Harrie's Snapper think of them;)

How do I go about it Angus? Do I order through the site, or order through you?

Jayson

[Angus]

Throught the BFo shop mate. That is through me

Angus

[chubbstar]

PS I hope they work :laugh: :laugh:

Eyeballs are not Strike King. They are Eco Products through shipton trading.

But we had success on them as well.

Stu got some good flatties in the river mouth.

Jimmybob got some good fish in the Bribie passage. Cant remember what though..

And Tanya and I have got plenty of Bream and Flatties at Straddy

Angus

[James W]

the bleeding pro model i've scored some nice bream..a nice rattle which i like...and it goes the perfect depth on the mud/sand flats on the high tide...and along the sandgate foreshore bouncing off the rubble just north of the shorncliffe jetty gets the bream going..thu i only do it at night,,,i seem to get more bream at night on the fatter lures like the bleeding strikeking than the skinner profiles..at night anyway

[James W]

and the eyeballs i have scored some nice lizards around bribie and ningi creek yer...cant wait to try em on the snapper this weekend thou:) they look cool on the drop

:ohmy: You've got to be sh!tting me:blush: :laugh: :laugh:

Oh well I'd like to add to my order Please Angus. Will I email the extra item? or go back into the shop?

Thanks for the info Jimmy

Jayson

I wonna catch something on Strike king!!:woohoo:

[Angus]

Mate its easier if you go back to the shop. In fact its much easier as Strike King lures and Eco Products come from different places anyway

Dont worry though, for what you are doing with the 5" Eye Balls should be sweet as!

Angus

[chubbstar]

They dont muck around with postage huh, I got my order yesterday.:woohoo:

It all looks good, I cant wait to get out on the water and give them a go:woohoo: :woohoo:

Jayson

[Angus]

Looking forward to hearing about all the fish you get mate.

You know one of the Dolphin fish ellicat got on the charter was on one of those 3X-TOO's

Angus

[ellicat]

And the first bird too:P

[STU]

:woohoo: :laugh:

If I was to place an order for some strike king lures through the AFO shop tomorrow would they arrive before Thursday next week? I am fishing the sommerset comp and need to stock up on a few lures.

Cheers

Thier quick mate, but with the extra long weekend I dont like your chances:( PM Angus he maybe able to help:woohoo:

Jayson

[Angus]

Bigtez: Yeah man. If they are Strike King. The Damiki's will be a little longer as they are not in the country yet.

But if you order Strike Kings, even with the holiday at the latest they would arrive is next wednesday.

Just so everyone knows the go with the Strike King postage, its all Express Post. So in theory a 24 hour turn around. I have stupulated 2-3 days of course in case of scenarios like holidays or just not being able to get to the post office.

Bigtez: The Red Eye Shads worked well for me at Baroon Pocket Dam on bass.

Let us know how you do in the comp Strike King lures or no though mate

Angus

[bigtez]

Will do Angus. It will be my first time fishing for bass from a boat and my first comp. I can feel a great big learning curve coming my way.

Terry

[Angus]

Good for you mate!!

Mate if you put in a Strike King order I will put the order through to Rob immediately as well as call him to ensure he sends it ASAP.

As its a comp you prob cant troll?

If not best lure options are going to the:

Diamond Shads

Red Eye Shads

Bledding Spinner Baits.

Use the shads like any other lipless crank baits and cast the spinner baits at every point possible!

Angus

[bigtez]

Just placed an order for a few Red Eye shads and a couple of spinnerbaits. Hopefully they will get me a few fish.

Terry

[Angus]

Mate processed and I have touched base with Rob. I wish you all the best!!

Angus

[STU]

Big tez the bass might be hard to tempt at somerset next weekend after 2000 people there over easter making it a washing machine might shut them down just look for drop-offs into the river bed and the flats above should be a good chance of finding bass

And to stick to the topic just received some strike king products looking forward to nailing some fish on them soon cheers Angus for the speedy delivery

[bigtez]

Thanks STU. I am fishing this comp as a non boater so i won't have much say in where we fish. Will keep that in mind as a suggestion for my boaters though.

It should be very tough getting a fish next weekend, not only is there the traffic on the water this weekend but there is a jetski race meet on as well. Half the damn will be bouyed off to keep us fishos out. Unfortunately the area that they will be in is where the fish have been coming from lately.

Thanks Angus.
