That's right folks...
The newest creation and first lure from the newlty formed "Al Gags Custom Lures" is hitting stores right now.
It is called the Squid-Zee and looks just like a small Squid. The body is made of ABS plastic and is very hard and solid. Around 5 1/2 inches long with two small wings up top tapered thicker towards the bottom (7/8 inch) head with large eyes. I was suprised at the hardware which is much better than Al's previous creations. It is wired through with a heavy duty split ring and large stainless siwash on the bottom. (lots of potential for hand tied tails, rubber skirts, etc.etc.)
The ones I got ahold of were both weighted (2 3/8 oz and unweighted at 1 oz)
The first color is marbled pink in the old Atom coloring style. Rumor has it they are also coming out in Yellow and Green.
I through it this weekend at a few places including the Canal. I caught fish in two of three places. At the canal I absolutely hammerred the fish with it. However it was not fair as the bass & blues were spitting up small Squid.
What I found interesting was that it cast farther than my 3oz Kastmaster with bucktail. NO BS, I couldn't beleive it myself.
1...You can fish it like a tin...long cast and just reel back in swimming.
2...You can cast it out, crank it up top and retrieve slowly like a needle.
3...You can Cast it out, let it sink and slowly retreive it in a verticle sweep type of action (this is what worked in the Canal)
Definately on a rebound fron the problems of the Slammer...I think Al is back to Mambo fish catching ability with this one.
I can't wait to throw this on MV...
Hey John r...I got a couple testers for you
