hi all

i got a couple of the ecogear vx35's the other day and wondering how to use them as at the moment i havent even got a touch..

i am fishing mainly in 2 - 3 metre water along a few rockwalls with quite a few snags out wider..

i am using 4 pound braid with 6 fluro trace so hope this is about right..

all help is appreciated
cheers kiwi.

Sounds like you are doing everything right mate,keep at it.Bought a handful of 35's and 40's a while back and it took 3 trips to catch anything...I like to give them a decent rip with a high rod tip and let them fall and repeat.only occasionally fish in the salt but have pulled some nice flatties and bream with these lures,stick with it mate!!

its basiclly a lift and drop retreve, just a slow llift so you can feel the lures working, just a few feet of the bottem then let it drop.
the ecogear are great but can be a bit expensive espesualy when you loose a few.
im loven the TT blades espesually the white colour with all the bait in the tweed atm.ive also done alot better in clearer water with blade baits
