love the smutleys ive a few in 4,5, and six inch

noodle , how would i ever guess that you too would be a chico tart ..... you bet me to posting his link ... want a lure , this man can get it ..... and will
asked after a super shallow manta 3 days ago ....... he emailed me t'neet .... got one

i know i got some of the four inch smutley db's in four inch from him after i got two fives and a six

i prefer the fours the 'shimmy' is more exagerated on the sink than it is on the larger ones

other lures ive had of him legend jrs storm shallow and big macs some others i cant think of at the moment

the bottom four are mine



one of the fives and the six with a couple of bikini baits on the left

hows the slater bait doing?

just bought the acid pox version

took copper tiger hector for a walk on a very hard pike water .....these fish have seen every lure known to man , and they ignore them usually . Hector got nailed second cast and third cast ..... the idiot at the other end of the rod failed to set the hooks both times
a very slow sink with a lovely shimmy and glides with just the slightest tap of the rod tip . bought a perch pattern , i was so impressed with copper tiger

the hector hooks well doesnt it you wouldnt beleive the sizr of the thing i hooked with it...

forget all this 30lb, or 40 inch nonsense

just shy of six foot, and 16 stone and ill be buggered if i know how i managed to hook my forearm just below the elbow

also got a t6 to try out and my god i cant work out where it will go so heaven help the pike

i have finally found an erratic bait more mental than a sorcy

a few smuttlys

thats porn for Woody

Bloody hell John, have you bought all of Chico's Stock

Not eneough tooth marks for my liking

they dont puncture or scar easily. ok there are a couple that have never been cast yet as they only arrived on frida and this morning and ive not been out since
middle three in top box and bottom two on the right
if i gave you those and say one of the original 5 inch ones i had you would be hard pushed to tell the difference, in fact the nly one that is showing any real signs of wear is the blaack one and i suspect that is down to the colour showing blemishes up in the finish more

how do the snax hold up?

There not too bad to be honest John, the 12" pike has had about 35 fish now and has a few treble and teeth marks but the epoxy is still solid, I will be having on of those Hectors of Chico when I can hide some money to one side.......

im waiting on a new colour then ill buy a few off him

i've got two hectors and i love 'em ...... oh do they glide
i need to spend more time and money at

The best way to spend your time is to spend time in a swim learning the art of jerkbait fishing, you can catch on a F#x jerkbait straight out of the box if you learn how to use it.

when they work as they should
fox do do some decent lures but they are let down by silly things like floaters sinking and sinkers floating...
not so bad if you know what your doing but if your new at teh game its gonna cause you some grief,
just think johhny pops to his canal with his lovely new fox jerkmaster and a box of pacemakers trojans warriors

and the pacemaker floats the the trojan flips and keeps coming in upside down, and the warrior (supposed to go to what 15 feet or so) only gets down two feet. i would think it was me doing something wrong, as i did with all of the above when i got them

I have a bright yellow dolphin which sinks pretty well and I remember that it was the first jerkbait I owned, the first time I fished it next to a mate of mine (He was using Cobbs Countdowns) I was amazed how crap my new lure was, but I had a 4-5 week period of using it and by god did it catch me some good fish, its a flipper bait (No pun intended) and works well with a quick aggresive jerk of the rod tip, then allow to settle and repeat the process, it has caught on rivers, lochs and even canals

It can be seen at the bottom right hand side of this picture

right got you i had a couple of those but ended up prefering the ace version (had to go looking as its not in the picture on here )

to be honest without fox lures and the ace ones as well i probably wouldnt have got into lure fishing as much as i have or at all.

i only started when the livebait ban began in the lakes and i bought a half price baitcaster (20 quid) i had a smallins multi (penn 940) from throwing seastuff then i bought some lures a few twin tails and grubs with some jig heads .

then it went wrong instead of just having a couple of lures for when the pike wanted something moving
i ended up with quite a few more some costing quite a few pennies this is my latest adition and im not sure if i should cast it

its a JDM lure called bloodshot raptor and is 9cm long i wont go into the price of getting it and getting it shipped over here

That is a bit special John........
