Hi Guys,
I am hoping to draw on the far greater knowledge of plugs, that some of the member have. I am looking for a 80-100mm silm minnow. Ideally shallow running, that is as castable as possible.
Ideally something like a Duo SLD-F or Diawa Shoreline Shiner but in a smaller size.
Any ideas what to look at???
Cheers Dave

Dave check out the DICE Baycrap 90 and DICE Bankroll 80. :-D

[Dave Irving]

Yeap the BayCrap looks great, will have to hassle Plus about who is stocking them.
Been looking for them for a while-but no one seems to have any.
But also looking for a lure with an even slimmer profile (if possible)

 

[Iestyn Jones]

the baby brother of the Rudra........

[Dave Irving]

Agian another cracking plug, But it is too deep running for what I have in mind.
Something more like this:

But I can't find anywhere that stocks it, and will ship to the UK

 

[Iestyn Jones]

I can get the asura to run from sub-surface waking to 4-5ft, depends on retrieve and rod angle. Offers more scope in one lure than having to have several to cover more depths!! just my oppinion though!! :-D

 

[Dave Irving]

Quite right, you can control the depth a lure runs at. But as you know that come with certain restrictions, speed of retrieve being one.
Has to be said the Asura and it's bigger brother are two very vertile lures.

 

[Dave Irving]

The BayCrap90 looks like a really handy lure, fits nicely into the average size of alot of the baitfish bass predate on-think young mullet
It is a shallow runner, would love to be able to see what the action is like??
But the Boro and Sayouri colours should do the business. Sure to be a useful "workhorse" shallow water lure.I love the large eyes, always a good trigger IMHO.

So will have to wait and see who stocks them.
Still looking for something like the 105mm Diawa SLS as well, juvenile sandeel????
And ideas???

 

[Paul C]

Lucky Craft 90 is a realy nice lure and casts suprisingly well. LC dont seem to be in vouge at the moment, but this little lure is a belter for sandeel imitaiton in shell white

 

[Izador]

Dave, veals have got them.
I remember because i almost baycrapped myself laughing when i was flicking through the bass catalogue.

 

[Dave Irving]

Paul C,
Do you mean the Flash Minnow 95??

 

[Dave Irving]

Beachalot,
Not in stock at Veals yet, I phoned them when I saw them in the catalogue.
Soon I was told, but no date given.

 

[Ben Field]

Just had a look through my collection Dave and the only similar ones I can really find are the Daiwa R40 (which is an old one but basically a 90mm SLS), and also the Tiemco Vixen. Both are obviously Japanese though. If I were you I'd be tempted to order the SLS. Baycrap does look good though if they get them in.

Actually, the IMA Komomo 95 could be another one? Only weighs about 6g though. Casts well for it's weight though. Shallow diving. Spot on if it's on fine braid.

 

[Dave Irving]

Good call Ben, with the Ima Komomo 95, looks like just the job-que nightmare of trying to get one from Japan though.
Shouldn't be a problem casting wise I was using a 6g surface lure this morning and getting reasonable distance, even on 1PE braid.
Tempted to set a spool up with 0.8PE/14-16lb braid for my lighter lures.
Looks like Dice BayCrap90,
Diawa SLS-F 10
Ima Komomo 95.
Should prove a useful trio of lures (as long as I can find the second and third ones)

 

[Paul C]

Paul C,
Do you mean the Flash Minnow 95??

Yep thats the one Dave.

 

[alan mce]

how about the lucky craft sea finger

[Dave Irving]

Kevin,
Already have a Bullet cracking lure, but too thick in the body for what I am thinking of, Does work a treat when the bass are hitting small mullet though.

 

[James Davis]

I believe they took delivery of Baycrap 90's on Friday, Dave.

Iwashi Border Horo
Sayori Border Horo
Chartreuse Back & Pearl

 

[Dave Irving]

Thanks James for letting me,
will give them a shout tomorrow.
