ATOMIC PRONGs

[NAGG]

12384HI All ..... I picked up some of these today (3 inch) .... they look like a pretty decent bream / flatty SP ...... with lots of wiggly bits (much like my favorite GULP 3" Craw)8-)
anyhow .... Has anyone used them & what have you caught ?

The 2 colours pictured are RED PUMPKIN & SHRIMP CORE (shrimp core looks magic):) ...... Nagg

Yep have been using them for a while with pretty good success, you can put a lot more action into them than normal shrimp style plastics. Have been using them with with hidden weights in snags and on worm hooks over shallow weed beds. Will withstand a lot more hookups than the gulp craws will which is another bonus. ** Forgot the what have you caught bit; Jack, trevs cod and flathead lightly weighted in the snags and bream whiting flatties and trevs unweighted over weed, get good results almost using them as almost a surface style lure in this fashion they imitate a prawn skipping across the surface quite well.

Thanks Budge ..... I didn't realise that they could be versatile:o .... But I had no doubt that they would have improved longevity over the Craws8-) ..... Today was the first time I've seen them in a shop ...... do they come in a 4 or 5 inch version ? ...... Nagg
PS .... Hmmm ... Jacks hey:P .:P ... Might throw them into a few snags up at Hinchinbrook next month

Electric Chicken :-/ .... Is that like Gulps Atomic Chicken ? ... Nagg

[breamnut]

the gulp is called nucular chicken and the prong is electric chicken.
i have caught some awsome bream on them and have used all the colours but my favourite being caralona pumpkin then shrimp core.
the 4 prong goes well on snapper.

Well I am hoping that my Prong does the goods tomorrow! With all the bits that wiggle, jiggle and flap around, they should tempt something into having a chomp! *fingers crossed* I will have something to post.

I liked the look of the Prong more than the Gulp Shrimp...more life-like, cheaper and looks to have more "action"

PS - who comes up with A) some of the wicked colours, and B) the names for them! "I whipped out my electric chicken prong..." sounds a bit dodgy if you ask me!

[NAGG]

Yeh .... I thought it looked a fair bit better than the Gulp shrimp (I like the translucence & the pliability ! ..... The Gulp is fairly rigid) ...... I reckon they just might make a decent Bass SP:-/ I'll flick a few up at Cania next month .... Nagg

and of course....Flathead love them.

Great lures. I use them on the surface for bream mainly but they work a treat slow rolling for bass or floated into the snags for the red devils.

Whytey ..... I was thinking just that! ( as you put it ... THE RED DEVILS) ... I plan to use them up at Hinchinbrook next month :P Do you use the 4" ? .... & what colour would you suggest :-/ .... Nagg
PS .... I reckon these would be great on shutdown , sulking fish

[NAGG]
