A few pictures I wasn’t able to share at the time, while I was testing the HTO Stink Pots lures ahead of launch.
Paddletail Lures
Paddle-tail lures, also known as shads are soft plastic lures designed to mimic baitfish. The name paddle-tail refers to the style of tail. The ‘paddle’ catches water as the lure moves forward, causing the tail to wag from side to side. Depending on the lure design this can also cause the lure body to roll back and forth, creating flash. Check out the following catches made on paddle tails and shads.
Ruffe on HTO Tiny Fish
Lovely looking Ruffe caught on a HTO Tiny Fish shad, rigged on a size 10 Maikuro Head.
Night Games at West Bay
Saturday night saw me hatching a plan to administer a Flounder smackdown. Wedged between my Lulworth wrasse-a-thon in the morning and the Bristol BLAC qualifier the next day, I settled on West Bay, in Dorset.
20 Wrasse Before Breakfast
Has to be one my favourite venues. 20 Ballan Wrasse to LRF tactics before a fried breakfast in the sun. Simple Texas rig. Fished my favourite, Bug Ants, the super effective Lunker City Ribster and the world’s most expensive wrasse snacks – 2″ One Up Shads!
Roach on Plastic Lures
My first Roach on a lure – and an unflavoured lure at that. Pretty fish. #predator
Right Place Right Time
5 small Bass in a 40 minute window as the tide races over an obstacle. Tremendous fun on light tackle.
