Although got the 2 lures I couldn't most people couldn't get for 16 months these babies

I have some amount of gear and there's a lot still not pictured.

Its a Galaxy SII but it's in multiple pieces, you'd need another one that works to fix it absolutely exploded altogether, she was an old gal anyways but worked perfect up until her break for freedom! :oops:

Ya those are only the lure rods, there's also beach rods, boat rods, uptide rods, boxes and boxes of hooks, lines, swivels and beads. Oh and a couple of fly rods and a few boxes of flies... :roll: Probably buy a new boat for the prices of all the tackle in the shed! :shock: :shock:

thats the first rule to recovery - head out with only 6 lures if you dont know the water well - if you know your only going shallow bring 3 - the fish dont know this is your favourite lure that cost you €17

9 times out of 10 keep a door handle in the box - their usually only 2/3 euro a piece and you never seem to loose them ones as much as the balsa wood/flashy types!

My bit of advice is get top water shallow diving as if your not used to them. You will be losing €25 lures the whole time.
That kimono 2 and my sonic hound if they got caught I wouldn't think twice about stripping to my jocks to get it back.

Amen to that!! I've a tendency to find some random online shop and buy €200 worth of lures and jelly's and all that, go out on the boat and lose €250 worth of lures.. :cry: :cry:

I've probably spent half a grand on savage gear stuff alone! An then gone an lost most of it... :oops:

A word of advice, never ever under any circumstances give some shmuck your barnd new out of the box yo-zuri to chance a bass, ever!!

Lads, Lads, Lads...I have enough hard lures and soft plastics to fill my own shop :oops: but here's the thing the same old lures get used every trip because they have caught for me in the past and will continue to do so :wink: :wink: , a wise lad on this forum can catch bass with a H.M.L. (end of a teaspoon with a treble at one end and a swivel at the other) which proves to me that the hardest thing about catching bass is finding them :shock: :shock: . Every year tackle shops have the latest, greatest, guaranteed to catch fish, shiny , flashing( plate) high end lure from Japan ( by the way I use them too) which are guaranteed to catch anglers that's for sure. I'm not against new lures, new technology etc but a kilty will catch bass and the bass don't care whether or not your lure cost 28 yoyo's. If someone can prove to me that the actual lure used is responsible for their catch and not the fact that the fish were feeding and you presented the lure correctly in the right location at the right time etc then I'll take it all back but nine times out of ten it's finding them that counts.

Good point Declan. And a few facts there. But I do believe that there are a few lures there that attract fish. I have no doubt about that what so ever.

And you know yourself that you make sure that you have that lure with you on certain days / nights in certain places.

If the spoon worked the whole time we be all adding things to it to try make it better.

It's just the evolution of fishing as is any sport / game / competition.

I seen bass being caught with vibrators. ( fact )

That video is on youtube and it was caught by a person that posts here.
Ive heard of another bass caught on a carrot that (i think) had a hole bored thru the centre and a treble attatched, again by another poster on this site.
