Hey I make jointed mullet swimbaits should I just run a soft tail or just no tail at all
Bula from Fiji. How can i get this sent to Fiji. Really got some crazy MJ here in my village especially in the mangroves.
Hey John getting withdrawals not having a clip this week, so I've resorted to re-watching some of the older clips again, still great watching.
I'm typing this while I listen to your pre-fish for the Flathead Classic last year, in which you're getting your brother fired up for the classic by catching a 80cm+ specimen and then you're talking about slow rolling in the shallows. Made me think of a lure I came across which I thought would be prefect for that application. Reminiscent of the Slap Stick in some ways and probably more so the Live Target Swimbait you talk about on this clip.
Anyway not sure if you've seen or heard of them before, it's by "Evergreen" it's not a hardbody lure but the swimming action is fantastic. Called a "Last Ace 168" here's a look

to me it's not only the action that caught my eye but the surface breaches the lure makes which is certain to attract the attention of some big girls.
You can find them here if you're interested, comes in seven colours – https://jpnfishingtackle.com/products/2456_bnew?variant=28151934877760
hey mate how do you know if you need to change hooks or split rings on swim baits or other hard body lures when you pick up one in the shop I can never tell just by looking at the lure before taking it to the desk to pay for it
Been using the Gantia’s for a bit over a year now. It’s insane watching Jacks come out in super clear water and smashing them. As you mentioned i have also noticed they always seem to come out and smack them side on. Always puts me on edge watching them follow it knowing how expensive they are, but the visual experience is so worth it.
Hey john what knots do u use to tie on swimbaits, amd what knot do u use for plastics and hardbodies keep up the great videos mate plenty of knowledgeable tips u have for us 👌🏼🎣
Hey mate great vid 👍 for the live target herring how to you retrieve them in pontoons for jacks?
Love the videos! Please could you make a video on how to fish pontoons
just went and bought my first baitcaster for this purpous alone. ATC combat plus 200 . havent beard much about them, old mate at the tackle shop reckons good bang for buck lol. now i need a rod, he says that reel paired with a shimano zodias extra heavy would be mint. im a bit warey , as its only rated up to 56gm lures. which will be enough for the small to medium size swimbaits . but then again not sure i wanna throw $80 lures around.
Recently caught a 58.1 cm Jack (tagged and released) in the Noosa River (canals) on a RD's Life Like Lures garfish 26 cm swim bait. Big enough to head out to the reef I reckon. The action is fast and works amazingly well around pontoons. The smallest Jack I've caught on it is 43cm. Trolled offshore, it works for Mackerel as well.
Thoughts on the LITTLE JACK GORGON 125?
I got a savage glide mullet, when they were on special lol but way too scared to throw $40+ lures hahahah
Hey mate. Awesome video. Would you recommend the jackall gantaral and chibiteral for jacks or flathead
What size is the gantia?
Pumping out the content mate great job 👌👌🍻🍻
