There is years left in that one yet!!

Pete, Foxie has both hollowbellies and frogs. Give him a call he may be able to put you some aside.
Cheers Kim.

Kim, peter's and fellas,

Foxie doesnt have hollwbellys as such, BUT he has another couple of plastics that are almost identical. The pick is the Manns Hardnose, which I believe are as good as hollowbellies. As the name says the hard nose helps hold the hook in position better. I like the action and I can guarantee they catch fish! I find they are stronger and more robust in general, although their colours are not as refined as hollowbellys

The name of the other brand escapes me...something ....lichous!! I haven't had a chance to use them yet but they look absolutely superb....the best colours too. Very very very similar to hollowbellies and hardnoses.


Big Ren, thanks for explaining slim beauty for me. Its a great little knot. I have been meaning to buzz you and barby boy Benny for a chat, but I have been working and crook. PM me you mobile again...I wiped my PM tray the other day and forgot to write it down!! you too Ben.

As for trebbles, Just leave the WHOLE trebble in your finger (or wherever you have been stung)...we or the hospital will be able to get it out one way or anoother

Cheers steve

Foxie doesnt have hollwbellys as such, BUT he has another couple of plastics that are almost identical. The pick is the Manns Hardnose, which I beleive are better than hollowbellies. As the name says the hard nose helps hold the hook in a set position without supa glue They have a better action and I can guarantee they catch fish! (more than one on the same platic without it getting destroyed is always a bonus too!!)

The name of the other brand escapes me...something ....lichous!! I havent had a chance to use them yet but they look absolutely superb....the best colours too. Very very very similar to hollowbellies and hardnoses.

Thanks Steve,

Great info (as usual).....

Speaking from experience (with trebbles) I cut mine short only so I could continue fishing - what can I say, it was a hot bite and I did manage a 97 with the trebble barb in my thumb!

But the hospital did rous on me big time and the doc had to go on a cutting and digging expedition to get the offending bit of metal out of the digit.....

So listen to the paramedic - leave as much of the trebble hanging out as possible

Steve so you can give me a undertaking that on the Barra tour you wont be using the hollowbellys ???? And at Monduran yesterday what caught the fish ?? Just ask Woodsy

[Big_Ren]

PM sent Stevo.

[JEKS]

Hey Steve,

They are called Dolphins aren't they?

[NAGG]

Boys, Im a big fan of K.I.S.S, so with leaders, for me its straight Penn 10X 80lb, a loop knot at the lure, allbrite at the other end, a dab of super glue rolled between my wet finger and thumb to smooth out the bulkiness of the knot and add a bit of insurace.
Yeah yeah yeah, I know, I should be able to tie a knot that doesnt need to be glued, I can tie the bimini twist thingy, and know how to do a twisted leader whatsit, but couldnt be bothered, these are barra, not grander marlin, WTF, it works for me

Hey Brian ........ After your Awoonga trip using plastics , please let us know if change your opinions on leader

Hey Trev,

Ha Ha I might use them in ABT..see what the conditions produce...Frogs might even be the go I have a couple of packs if Hollwbellies just in case. I just wanted to let people know about other similar products they may not have seen yet (ie hardnoses and shadilcious).....i doubt this little black duck will derail the hollowbelly juganaught.

I havent spoken to Woodsy yet, how did you go??

cheers mate Steve

[NAGG]

Hey Trev,

I might use them..dunno...see what happens. I have a couple of packs and I like them too, I like the others better thats all. As I am not sponsored by anyone, so I dont mind telling people about other products they might not have seen yet (ie hardnoses and shadilcious).....i doubt this little black duck will derail the hollowbelly juganaught.

I havent spoken to Woodsy yet, how did you go??

Steve

Throw em all in

My thoughts on Monduran....As jason says uneducated fish...they must be.. We fished a bit in "B"... Boats boats and more boats... lost count of how many boats in there but there fishing etiquette leaves a lot to be desired... We where tied up to a tree fishing a point not only did they travel between us and the point they fished it as well... And when a fish was caught ... like bees to a honeypot...

[Peter4]

Bloody rude blowflies......by the time you tell them to bugger off it's too late, the fish have been spooked.....

Gidday Trev

You must have been fishing Gay Bay as Foxie and Steve call it....every man is on top of each other.

The bees are thick in B Bay that's for sure.......we have fallen victim to the invading hordes more than a handful of times. Apparently two smoke engines, loud noise and bad banjo music do not put the barra down

[Pete62]

It's the same on any waterway, creek, estuary even the bloody ocean................and jetskis................. don't even start......................

Cheers, Pete.
