Re: Show us your cod
G'day bdowdy, sorry but I don't sell them but they are easy to make and light enough to use on small rods, they are made out of maranti timber and are 120mm long x 30mm deep at the front tapering off to 15mm deep at the tail. I use 1.2mm aluminium for the bib and they look like mickey mouse ears that are cupped and screwed to the body with light aluminium screws and stuck together with super strength araldite. Twist some stainless steel wire around a small nail and twist the ends together and drill holes into the body that go in about 40mm and screw the twisted wire into the holes with araldite, make sure they are a tight fit.This is to put the rings and hooks on. Taper the bib at 45degrees and paint them any colour you want(even black works well as the fish zone in on the noise) The trick is to tune the bib in so the lure makes a loud "plop plop" noise. I am taking them back up to Awoonga to see if the barra can break them later this year, but good so far. Hope this helps, cheers mate ,steve.
