I have seen a fish destroy a maxrap as well...
And I have had issues with water ingress and ball bearing rust on the most expensive versions of these lures (more expensive than the rapalas by some margin).
What I have learned is that the Rapala is the most robust. The swimming sticks out-throw all the others I have tried.

When it comes to price, and that is a factor for most of us, both the CID and the Rattlers are reasonably good value for money. I would still spend a little more for Rapala...

I tried yesterday but the sea was a big mess still with lots of sand being churned up. Was a bad week in terms of weather and sea conditions- eish!

You know I dont listen!

Coffee on the beach watching the sunrise was lekker though, and so was casting practice. When I see orange on the reel it's 130m. Was throwing the orange off too occasionally and going almost all the way through the purple, which is next. That's like 145-150m. Take up 5-10m slack and that's a good cast!

Bring on the Queen Mackerel! Those casting distances are going to become handy when we start targeting them from the beaches this coming autumn!

Pity the Bay is messed up with oil. The summer fishing is nearly over and was keen for a bit of this this weekend....

Not a whole lot in Durban. A shad here and there. I think from Umhlanga up to Salt Rock has been better. Some nice gamefish appearing...

Shot Jball, might be worth a try at the Lighthouse then when the conditions are right.  Maybe tomorrow morning early if the damn flu will just get gone.
