Tattoo 01-30-2003, 01:24 PM I beleive Seawolf has a good source for them. Send him a PM. fishweewee 01-31-2003, 06:21 AM Yes, wee wee want some too! -WW:eek: :eek: :eek: SeaWolf 01-31-2003, 10:05 AM tattoo, these plugs cringe when just my presence is near. they know the wrath that my korker will do to them. and you think i have a stock pile of them? ha! i'd rather fish with a dry hook. ragfly 01-31-2003, 11:55 AM I don't understand why you hate them because they catch fish where I live and big ones at that. Anyways I'm still looking Tattoo 01-31-2003, 12:49 PM Rag, It was a joke between Seawolf and myself. Yeah they catch fish, but they also crack and the rear hook hanger comes right out. Poor Quality. Sorry to lead you a stray. ragfly 02-01-2003, 09:40 AM Hmmmmm, I have never seen those problems. Hopefully I don't. I do replace the split rings and hooks. tlapinski 02-02-2003, 08:58 AM the breakage has to do with the actual body breaking, not a problem with the split rings or the hooks. take a look at a mambo that is transparent. the hook hangers only go into the plug 1/4" at most! i had a pile of mambos without hook hanger building up until i found a replacement for the niche they fill. i have lost far too many quality fish to those plugs to continue throwing them! (unless i'm throwing them in the trash!) i have one black and purple somebody gave me last year. if i can find it, it's yours ragfly. just don't expect it to hold up to anything better than a schoolie. :smash: SeaWolf 02-02-2003, 11:43 AM now you see why i do not like mambos in the least, ragfly. any lure can fail from time to time, but mambos fail far too often. i tried them the first year they came out and had the same problems toby and tatoo talked about and have since no longer used them. i know a shop that has a pile of them that have failed. need any more proof? i'll take a bomber anyday over a mambo. Mike P 02-03-2003, 09:48 PM I have a wall full of Mambos that split right down the middle. I also have another collection of the front halves of jointed Redfins--except the belly hook is on the front half, so at least ya usually get the fish. fishweewee 02-04-2003, 06:34 AM Too bad about the mambos. They come in some nice colors that bombers don't. Oh well... -WW vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
