Filming, editing and a thousand other things to do with the Fishing DVD takes up the lion's share of my time, but somehow I always find the time to do a spot of personal fishing. I wouldn't feel right otherwise.

NEW PROTOTYPES

Just recently I was given some prototype lures at a fishing tackle trade show to take for a test drive. It just amazes me the variety of lures available today - all shiny and pretty, crafted to resemble everything that fish eat and all promising to deliver amazing results.

ANY EXCUSE WILL DO

These lures were nothing like that - being prototypes. No eyes, no clever stripes or war paint - just plain silver and gold. At first glance the body looked a bit different by having a concave rib section and they had a weight to them that suggested they would be nice to cast. Either way, it was a good enough reason to get me out on the water.
(FYI - ANY reason is a good reason.)

A GOOD LURE CAN...

One of the things that I look for in a good lure is its versatility. It should be able to be trolled at different speeds and still wobble and work enticingly. It should cast well and accurately into tight spots. Above all it should perform well on a straight cast and retrieve, without me having to have an epileptic fit with the rod in order to make the lure dance.
 

 
RING THE DINNER BELL

These new Warlocks have a tight action that can be felt right through the rod by simply winding in. This underwater vibration sends out an irresistible 'wounded fish' dinner bell call to all predators.

PROOF

This is just one of three new lures that I have to try out, and this Warlock ticks all the boxes for me. In a short session wandering the sand flats and drop offs, this lure caught 6 flathead to 70cms! You can bet that we will be using them in a story in the not to distant future so you will be able to see for yourselves how well it performs. This lure will catch more than just fishermen - it will become a 'must have' lure.
