Hi guys,
A request for everybody and anybody to look out for mydo baitswimmers in your local tackleshop, and if you find let me know so I can transfer money so you can buy them for me.
I'm talking original Mydo..it will say mydo on the packet.
PLEASE. Somebody in Empangeni I know PnP has some, if you get there please check for me.

Jaen congrats on your weekends fishing. Send me a photo off the bait swimmers you are looking for and I might be able to make a plan for you. Have been working on some ideas for baitswimmers and bizzy getting some moulds made.

Can get them here for (almost) free... two sizes if I remember correctly... 3 colors... problem is transport... how many do you need?

nope not up to anything. Hermann I just really been using them for 20years and he is not making them anymore, so trying to get from everywhere.
-
I have never used them before but if they are that good, why did he stop making them? Buy the rights to manufacture them and produce your own. :hnthnt:

Hi everyone
My name is Sean Lange, I was with Brian Davey in developing the Mydo range, back in 1986. We fished together testing and modifying the range until 1988, when we went to market. I was the sales guys in Natal and the Cape.
On Brian's passing, Gill called me up and offered the Mydo to me. I accepted, paid, and collected everything from Brian's garage, the same one in Benoni we worked together in 25 odd years ago.
I started manufacturing again last year and built up a large quantity of stock, which I am now stocking Jhb with.
To those guys who were/are thinking of ripping Mydo's, I urge you to think again. Firstly, a little respect for Brian and his achievement (he won the 1992 Cullinan Design Award for Engineering Excellence in 1990) with his fish swimming Mydo theory. The second reason is that Brian spent the better part of a few hundred thousand Rand - in the 90's, to patent and protect his product. In the US, Oz, Canada, the EU, and obviously here. Tinkering and making heads at home is fine, but selling or going to market will rock the boat enough to stir action.
In the meantime, please look forward to the Mydo being back in the stores. At http://thesardine.co.za/mydo-lures/ (http://thesardine.co.za/mydo-lures/) you can see the whole new range, and you can buy online, via Payfast, or EFT. I am on umzimkulu@gmail.com or 079 326 9671, for dealer enquiries. I am in Jhb for another 10 days at least, while I get to all the stores.
Kind regards

:welc: I have been using Mydos for nearly 20 years, a lot in Mozambique where, due to the lack of live bait we mainly use sards and halfbeaks, - its a fantastic product and its great they are coming back......I think I only have two or three left.

Many thanks Mr. Hooker!

Eish sorry Shaun. DBSC Compo flattens our stocks heavily!

Hi Ultimate Anglers
Yes, we are confirmed in Kingfisher for the Durban area so far. Up north at PnP, and all over Pmb.
In Jhb we have stock in Mias's Benoni (not Woodmead) and Angling Fanatic in Kempton Park.
In Jeffreys Bay up in the big mall at Bait n Tackle.
In Port St. Johns, Driftwood trading at Ferry Point and in Mdumbi at Cool Bananas Spaza shop. Ngcwanguba Store for the coffee bay crew.
On the south coast you can buy Mydos ay the two Lucky's stores, The Tackle Box and the Tackle Centre in Shelley Beach and at Gremlins in Margate.
Soon, East London will have them at Sparg's Spar in Beacon Bay, and we are growing our network as fast as we can get around and see all the places.
We are on our way to CT slowly if anybody wants to meet up and discuss fishing and Mydo's...
Thanks to Ultimate Angling and it's members, for this forum, it has really helped me get news of the return of Mydo out there. Very effective, and yes, I will be advertising!
Break some rods!

Hi again Ultimate Anglers
MYDO Lures is back in operation. I was with Brian in developing and testing Mydo's since 1987, and have "inherited" the company though Gill (who is watching me carefully!)
Pls check out thesardine.co.za/mydo/ for the full story.
BTW, there are new adaptations to the patented baitswimmer heads - for the dropshot world. Check it out!
Regards
Sean
