well done Bobby,

your certainly doing well on the demons mate,

hey how do you find the suspending lures like xraps, i know im a bit scared of using things like that from the bank as they wont float back up after hitting a snag. have you lost many lures??

nice stuff bobby, i have an Xrap very similar colour to yours, very weary on using it as the cost an arm and a leg, might have to grow some balls and give it ago.

What's the point of spending that much then Geoff. Suck it up mate and start throwing it. Otherwise it is a waste of money. :-[
I'd also suggest picking up a tackleback. For around $10, they'll earn their money back in one retrieval. Saved me plenty already. ;)
Great Jacks Bobby, even that small they go hard.

Not Wrong lost maybe 10-12 hard bodies this year.

Say a few choice words, smash rod into water in time with choice words, wait a week and sit back and laugh at how stupid you are for thowing $20 lures with light gear. Makes the red bastards so much better when you put them on the deck.

The funny thing is i release all the red bastards to get bigger and do it all again to me next year. ::)

Rapala has always produced quality lures,It seems they are still continuing to produce the goods.Ive used the larger version and caught some large big eye trevalley on them.
