Looky what suprised me in the mail today...

We will see how this thing works in GA. One thing I will say is that it is a beast. Tinboats.com is a awesome site, thanks to Jim for all his work and thanks to all the members who share their knowledge!

Awesome! Glad it arrived safely. Now make us proud by showing us a picture of that lure hanging out of a fishes mouth.

That is a scary lookin' lure!
I would hate to think what a big marsh red would try to do to that thing.

Keep us posted!

Awesome! I still think that's a scary looking lure. I can't wait to see what it plugs.

 

[thad.]

Holy cow, that's a $55 lure!

If it had gotten there a little earlier, you coulda entered your photos of that thing in the halloween contest - and won. The price is even scarier.

I could not tell what it was from the web posting but after I received it I could tell it was modeled as a Cicada. Here is a link to a pic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tibicen_linnei.jpg

Anyway, this thing is a haus and it will either drive a bass crazy or send them scurring for a hiding place.. Anyone ever fished one, what line did you use and what is the technique? I wish everyone could see this thing in person, it is SCARY! :shock:

Crazy isn't it?

The price fluctuates with the Japanese market. :LOL2:

If you do your homework and are patient, you can score these lures for around $20. 8)

I throw it on 12# Pline CXX clear... I don't have that particular lure, but I've got a Daiwa lure that is pretty dang close to it. Don't worry about the size, I've caught 6" bass on that lure, but I've caught some hogs on it too. July & August are when I throw them the majority of the time, and generally I have better luck on them at night than I do in the mornings.
