Storm Soft Plastics

[Craigus]

Greeting Ausfishos,

I was browsing through the tackle store the other day and noticed the storm SP range. I thought they lookied alright but especially noticed the Twitching Nipper SP. I was interested in buying but thought I would seek the opinions of the good folk at Ausfish

Has anybody had success with this SP in SEQ or any storm SP's for that fact. I also have a DVD with a segment with the Twitching nipper, where they caught a few bream. But this was done south in NSW. I have not heard of anyone proclaiming success with storm SP's in my time at Ausfish.

Any opinions are much appreciated

I have used these type of sps from storm lures and have had alot of bites using them but no positive hook ups. But still trying to catch fish using them. I to was suckered into buying them after watching the free promotional DVD from local tackle shop.

I put one in the water on the week end at the front of Scarborough with no luck but I must say it was not in the water very long for a fair go. I use to use yabbies all the time and use to get heaps of good bream and flatties on them so as this thing looked so real in the water I will be giving it a farer go in the Maroochy river this week end, although the bream in there are very educated as to what is bait and what is real? Them bug?*#s know what’s up.

Is that one of those Mark Berg DVD's???

Those nippers apparently do pretty well, but most reports I've heard of that have come from further north (Central Queensland).

I've used them a few times, but never caught a fish on them. Only had about 2 bites with them.

However - If these were fished around natural yabby locations, I think they would do alot better!

I might have to get them out again and give them a proper go

[Craigus]

Thanks for the feedback.

Dan,
It sure was a Mark Berg DVD [smiley=bomb.gif], where he promotes every thing he touches . If I do buy a pack of nippers I think I would have to use them on the out going tide when we pump yabbies.
But for now I think I will stick with my berkleys, atomics and gulps.

Nathalie,

Bream can be a challege to catch on SP's, but what I can recommend are 3" pumpkinseed gulps. Bream just love em.

You wouldn't have an image of these 3" pumpkinseed gulps would you? I searched but didn't find anything.

Nat,

I could not get a photo of mine due to flat batteries in the digi, but I found one on the net.

It is a Berkley Gulp Minnow Grubs 3" in pumpkinseed

[Nathalie]

Thanks. I will see if I can get some and give them a go, anything to outsmart those bream.

try 2 inch first for bream! the smaller size will get more hook ups. and once your "hooked" go the three inch and chase the bigger ones!

cheers
