My lures had their weekly bath

[Steenie]

Here is the full range that Basil Manning offer. The clear and clear green are Barry's favorites. But Jonathan Knight got a nice garrick on the squid colour last week. I also like the Flo Pink. I got a big largespot pompano on it at Vidal recently.

I like the look of these Halco C-Gars. Especially when you see it tested in SA waters with good results. can't wait to put mine to the test!

I read about the C-gar lures and it looks impressive. In the section that I read they said one can fish them from the bottom with jerk - pause - jerk action or even just below the surface  on a faster retrieve. I tried the faster retrieve with my cid shiversticks the other day and must say its got a great action as a surface lure. So my question is if the Halco c-gar lure will bring anything new over the CID shiverstick? They look very similar.

undoubtedly a halco rooster.

Got myself a Flamin' Hot Halco Roosta popper (49 g) this afternoon at Basil Manning. Looks awesome. Thank you Chrisquinton for the recommendation!  When I got home I wanted to replace the trebles straight away with 4/0 decoy hooks, but discovered that I had none left. So trebles will have to do for now.

The lures I carry in my waist pouch every morning when spinning. They had their weekly bath in hot water to remove any salt residue. What lure would you add to my collection?

Redeye Iron candy spoon. But on the whole a lovely collection.

Steenie - wait till you see how that roosta throws.

Steenie - wait till you see how that roosta throws.

I did quite a bit of casting with it this morning. Throws very well for such a light bulky lure! It did tumble a fair bit on some casts, but there was some cross wind this morning. I cannot wait to replace the trebles with decoy's though!

In terms of action it is simply amazing and quite different to the plugs I use, especially with the rod tip down during the retrieve. With the rod tip straight up its action is closer to those of plugs. It is great that it floats, so I tried a few times a fast sideway swipe of rod - pause - swipe of rod style of retrieve as well. Keeps the lure for long in the strike zone like this.

Water was quite dirty this morning in Umhlanga area though.

get rid of the trebbles asap..
you can work this lure with a high stick behind a shorebreak, or with the medium to tip-town attitude. Just keep the lure moving (stay in contact).

Thanks - would 4/0 decoys be ok?
