yeh this arvo i fly out dude. Rained off steve? Yeh just had a look and not the colours i was looking for ay :s
Got the coral viper and new saltiga jigging rod now i need stella 10k 18k pe10 popping rod endless lures gloves rod case new gimbal belt more jigs list goes onnnnnnnnn and onnnnn and onnnnn. Fishing is a hardcore addiction
I would only recommend Gammas for advanced anglers. They are incredibly difficult to use properly and I only managed to get it right after watching Konishi San. Very few anglers can use a Gamma effectively and as Brad already mentioned, they are one of the most expensive lures on the market.
I actually prefer the Pandora, it is a sinking stickbait and far easier to use. If you can afford the hefty price tag then it comes highly recommended. Konishi San landed a 65kg GT in Tokara on this lure.
The Orion Bigfoots also deserve a mention and is probably my most successfull stickbait over the years. It is really easy to use with minimal effort or techniqe and there's no doubt that they are quite simply GT magnets.
Been quite impressed with the ASWB's so far, another stickbait that's very easy to use, especially in choppy conditions. Highly recommended if you're on a budget.
Thanks alot guys. Looking to buy lures at around hundred bucks each. Been looking for big foots but can't find any with the orange ones I'm lookin for.
Got a couple of the pelagics and have only really used the small ones due to lack of opportunity lately, but they're pretty bloody good and throw some water.
I have alwas taken WAY too many!!!! If there is no opportunity to buy gear where you are going, best to load up in case you get bricked a lot (10 sticks, 10 poppers, 10 jigs), but at a place like CI, where Mark has a very well stocked shop at good prices, best to take maybe 3 poppers, 3 stickbaits and 6 jigs and if you need, buy stuff there and support the local industry

If you can wait for the
If you can wait for the Orions, then PM me and I will get you some when I order.
You can get them from Orion direct, or through a few of the USA online tackle shops pretty reliably.
They are not 'nomad prices' either.
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Thought you were going back
Thought you were going back to work??? You will need to if you want to pay for all this new gear you want!!
Try Nomad, they stock Orion lures but their stocks don't look too encouraging.
