MAINTENANCE - Salt-X testing part 3

Post by LLCC »

After a night’s efforts, fishing on the East Johor Straits, sleepy and red-eyed before my shot of caffeine, I was disappointed to find I've used up all my pre diluted Salt-X. Oh well, I thought, now is as good a time to prove/disprove the theory that if I rinsed my gear thoroughly enough, the salt will be displaced and all would be well. So instead of taking out the syringe to mix up a batch of Salt-X, I rinsed my used lures in warm running tap water. Drained the bucket, rinsed them a second time. Drained the bucket again, and refilled with warm water, left them aside and tended to my bath.

The result put my thoughts to rest.

Scottie,

Google "tail spinner lure". Apparently the latest and greatest for bass at the moment but, like nearly every "new" lure, been around for years. Just having an new lease on life. Reckon most things up here would eat em. Tarpon and Toga especially.

Hi Scott, Sorry for the late reply.

That lure is called an IMA Spingulf. http://www.ima-ams.co.jp/products/spingulf

There's a revival in the spinnerblade lure as hook shy fish are not familiar with this old pattern.

You should be able to find others such as Rapala/Storm Gomuku Spin: http://www.rapalathailand.com/wp-conten ... uspin1.jpg

Duo Spybait: http://duo-inc.co.jp/bass/en/realis/spinbait90/

Jackall iProp: http://www.jackall-lures.com/products/iprop.html

Prop/spinner baits need to work slowly. We use them a lot here as the fish are under great pressure and greatly shy of lures. I've had all kinds of fish bite a tiny spinner lure, from rock cod, to barra and queenfish, Tarpons, tenpounders, cutlassfish and juvenile GT

HTH,

LL
