North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Anyone had much success with these pre rigged weedless lures? I brought 3 packes today to test out. Smaller ones look great but the middles size white one seam to have there hook set too deap???? No point buying pre rigged ones if you have to rerigg them;(


Anyone had any experiences good or bad with these? I have to do some feild testing to see if my hypothesis is correct

Hi Johr, bought a few myself - just grabbed them (had my two little fellas with me who were having a great time with the tackle) and haven't inspected them yet. Be curious to hear feedback too.

Throw the hooks away and get some decent worm hooks for them . They have a great action but the hooks have too small a gape for getting hook-ups.

i like a lot reidys lures, and these looked great in packet. Iv only used them 4 times but iv found them great for attracting strikes but have had a very poor hook up rate compared to squidgy mongrels and hollow bellys rigged weedless. If you grab hold of them and kind squash them like a fish strike you will find them a bit stiff and hard to expose the hook, which i believe might be why i had poor hook up. The hooks dont have much belly in them so the plastic does not really collapse when struck exposing a lot the hook .
Any way like i said only used em 4 or so times but its wat i found . Good luck giving them a go, each to there own ya may love em and snag a metery on one

There to skinny so they lay flat on the strike rather than squash and expose the hook

Very poor hook up rate, but you can cast them into crazy places! I also reckon they need to have a bigger sinker. What Doug says is also true. The retrieve has to be crazy slow or it sits on its side
