Saw these on Ebay a few weeks ago, my eyes lit up! Instantly to mind - Perfect for North Pine Dam, a cross between a slug and a spinner bait! Woohoo!

So I'll give them a shot this weekend!

[Rocket75]

I almost bid on those! glad you won them, let me know how they go!

look pretty trick cant wait on the report to see how they go. they look heavy might give you some distance to get past the grass.

[mangler]

They look the goods Feral, would certainly get the bass to sit up and take a look you'd think. Be very interesting to see how they go.

Cheers,

Matt

Good luck.

[kriso]

is there a brand or name of the lure that we can keep an eye out for?

[rayke1938]

Used to be in the MO tackle catalogue around $8 each cheaper that ice jigs and just as effective.

Cheers

They look like Little George lures

50mm weigh 7 grams

65mm weigh 14 grams

they cost $6.95ea at motackle

[Dinodadog]

As Ray said good for suspended bass, the emphasis on suspended. When cast from the bank it will go a mile, but where you have to be careful is that it sinks fast also so you have to keep the rod tip high and the retreive fairly fast so it doesn't hit the bottom.

[rayke1938]

No longer in MO tackle but they list manns little george in 2 weights $6.95 each. The prickley petes were aussie made.

cheers thanks for the info terry,dino and ray.

[Feral]

Wont have to worry about them hitting bottom Dino, I'm sure some nice friendly Bass will hold them in his mouth while I wind it back to sure

[STU]

They are tail spinners very good lures when hopped off the bottom

[Plastic Man]

i have tried them at np before to hard to use off the bank have got bass on them out of boats before

the brand name of them is tornament tail spinners you can still get them at tackle warehouse

[kevinchen19870316]

best lure to use for deep water jigging.

just make a long cast and hop it along the bottom. great search lure

[Cowfish13]

They look like they'll work well:cheer:

With that large treble in the middle, that'll get snagged at NP pretty easily wouldn't it? Maybe you could take that off and place a medium sized single hook on the rear eyelet to get less snags with still a good hook-up rate?

Just something I thought of:)

Mann little george is the 1st one that comes to mind, although strike king do a version of them but they are heavier at 14grams and another at 21 grams.

damiki also have a bigger version that is 55mm long and weighs 30 grams. the damiki one is more like a bladed lure with a spinner at the back though. The also do a saltwater one that is 75mm long and 32 grams. here is a pic of one of the 55mm version

[img size=500]http://www.searingtackle.com.au/AFO/driller1.jpg

they are tough to fish from the bank, much better to use from a boat

[Angus]

Rob they look good. But they need to make them smaller (or lighter)!

Could be cool from boat in the bay though...

Angus

[kriso]

they look like a pimped up switch blade, agree lighter or smaller would be awesome.

[Angus]

You could get away with 14 and 21 grams though.

Do you have piccies of the Strike King ones?

Angus

[Zim man]

no off hand. they do look just like the litte gorgs bait company. I think they would retail for around the $11 buck mark. the damiki would be slightly less i think, but dont quote me on it

I will tell the powers that be at Damiki that a smaller lure is demanded:)

[Feral]

I do like the look of that 55mm lure!

[fishyman]

is it just me or does that damiki one look like it would brain tuna?

[Mozza]

yeah it does

[tacklebox]

Mossops have quite a few of the Little George lures in their bargain bin for $6. I think there were a couple of sizes and a few colours to choose from as well.
