-
Better check the sell by date.
-
Where did you get them bru?
-
Where did you get those?
-
Pray tell please sir
-
let us know as well.
-
They are full up at Kings guys. And they come in a bunch of colours.
-
Also saw them in Plett this morning, but the packaging looked different.
-
The original one's?
-
I remember seeing an ad somewhere that they where coming back.
Saw them at the tackle shop down this side, bit cheaper as well think they were R58.

total rubbish the kings brand.
Will post pics tomorrow how they look after only 1 hour in the water
-

Having read the posts subsequent to mine, it's probably the King's brand.

Plugger, those are the originals which are no longer being made by Maria. If you can find them buy them all!
We have created a replica based on the originals with input from Maria.
Jaen, could you ellaborate on your comment as interested to hear what you dont like?
-
The paint coming off.
So basically I don't like paying for a sub standard lure
-
The paint coming off.
I've had the same problem, thrown a few away already!!!
-
Are Onda's painted? The one's I have are clear. The lures I saw in Plett are named "The Onda" - Product of Kingfisher. They are also clear castings with reflective paper inside the casting. :dunno:
-
Thanks Jaen. I will ask our chaps to check it out.
-
Found an original a couple of months back in Port Edward. Will be giving it a go soon as I get back to KZN
-
Thanks Jaen. I will ask our chaps to check it out.
Thank boet. If they are gonna sell it as the original then they should bring the quality too. I will rather pay R200 and get proper quality.

Sorry for the late reply but I am down at the cottage and the internet here is slower than my great aunt Gladys. I found them at a tackle shop in Hillcrest, don't know the name but its the one near the Mozambik restuarant. The guy who sold them to me seemed to think there was not a problem getting them but I don't think he knew too much. These are the real McCoy.
-
Now SOLD OUT :hnthnt:
Shot Plugger!!!
-
No problem, that was fast work ! You snooze, you loose !!
-
Used the ones from Kings on Sunday and deadly. Lost one on a braid . first cast on. The pink one not so effictive. The clear one also awesome. I agree with Jeanswatr one fish and peeling. Would have expexted to last longer than one YFT.
They are very effective but question longevity!!
-
keep them away from the toothy fish as they will get scratched too :hehe:
-
If decent toothy I don't mind the scratches..
-
I've been throwing the purple Onda (genuine) here with a Travaler, Stradick combo and have been klapping the Shad. I lost a big one because I was too lazy to change the treble for a single and cut off two of the hooks instead. This pathetic hook was shaken loose in the shore break after a nice fight. The boys are still laughing at me, needless to say the hook has now (too late) been replaced. The other spoon I have been having fun with is the Bite Me bullet spoon. The boys went out on the jetski again and only got another YFT (not my favourite eating fish at all).

.... only got another YFT (not my favourite eating fish at all).
you need to bleed them proper and get a couple of Shags receipes...best eating
-

yeah, right...
-
They did bleed it (they keep their GoPros on their heads and video ). Its amazing how the blood squirts out like a severed artery ! It was grilled with onion and garlic butter).
