Thanks Danno.

Here is a link to a short YouTube Clip of some testing from one of the members Tattoo’s Tackle team ( Rob Taylor ).



We could see the fish in the wash, but couldn’t get them to eat anything. Perfect opportunity to test a new plug. If you watch closely, you can see the plug skipping, jumping, and zig zagging right before the fish decide they want to eat it.

A few people have mentioned that they wish it were a larger heavier lure. In the video, you’ll see that there is an 11’ Arra being used. Will it cast further than a bank sinker, no. It casts just as far as you can throw any plug that size. Don’t get hung up on casting a mile, the fish are at your feet 90% of the time. In the video featured, we actually swam to a rock, and then turned around and cast back towards shore.

During further testing, Rob went on to hang a 90+lb bluefin tuna on one. An incredible catch!
