has anyone got a fav colour and weight distribution?
the packet reads good and they have an excellent web site.. but just wondering what stories and tips other members have?
may be worth noting the tides & times you just fished & if the water temp has jsut started moving, recent rain after after a dry spell, a change for the better in your own ability. It seems all those fish were bottom third in the water colomn too - what depth of water were you working ? Were your previous lures capable of working that line ?
Like to fish them with no weights - mostly they get hit on the way down. Deeper water add one of the weights - depending current.
Pic is of nice barra from Haycock Island (Hinchinbrook) this time last year, on a junior prawnstar. The fish had all but shut down. We could see them on the sounder. Bounce a prawn on their nose and they can't resist - my mate is now a fan. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
I've noted that one set of hooks hangs directly underneath the prawn.....is this a snag causing spot to have em? I've heard great things about em too, but each time I look at them, i just get the feeling that I'm going to get snagged on some structure straight away.
And I suppose the little prawnstars catch big fish, jsut like the big prawnstars do?
I'm a big Prawn star fan and one of the reasons is their great snag resistance. I caught over twenty barra one day on them and never lost a lure. As well we've caught good jacks, fingermark, and cod. I was out at Cressbrook Dam with the first one I ever bought and the bass had gone off the bite on plastics but my wife proceded to catch them on the junior model. I like to work them slow with small movements.
I also found that fish "bite" on them just like soft plastics.
Yeh Dicko - shark wanted it more than we did - released this one into the icebox - the other side was pretty ordinary and the fish bled out quick. Looks like we'll be heading up in Feb some time.
The middle hooks tend to pop each cast. I epoxy a piece of plastic tubing through the head and down through the hook eye so the middle hooks don't pull out - cotton buds work a treat for this.
JACKS LOVE 'EM!!
i think it's only the odd lure where the middle hooks comes out too easy. i've got 1 where they all but fall out straight away. but all my others snap in proper.
Comes in handy when the wind is up a bit!!
