Runboh vs Blackjack/Nomad Stickbaits
Andrew Poulos:
With the upcoming Runbohs , if you had a choice between them and the Blackjack / Nomad stickbaits which would you prefer.....
andrew
PS..... and why !
Brandon Khoo:
two of my favourite stickbaits so pretty hard asking me to pick between them. Realistically though, I nearly always have both in my bag. The Heru is a better lure for rough conditions but the Runboh is, IMHO, a super lure in calmer conditions. If you get a couple of big Gamas onto the Runboh, it will sink slowly and boy, its really something then.
You can use a Heru is nearly any type of conditions and it will catch fish.
Andrew Poulos:
Until I go north I would be using these to chase kingies around here and south coast so am wondering how they would fare around the deep water ledges and with some choppy water....guess I will only know by trying them out.....
Brandon Khoo:
not really ideal stickbait country but I would try the Heru. I think you will find that the Runboh is going to bounce all over the surface in an area like that
Luke Wyrsta:
Both are awesome stickbaits.
Besides from what Brandon has mentioned, the one thing i love about the Heru/Nomad is how resilient it is. It can take knocks, blows and maulings with the best of them and still be sweet. Just casting the Runboh will cause it's finish to start peeling and flaking off as hooks smash and grind against it.
I'm not really prepared to say that the Runboh has weaknesses - i hold it in as high esteem as the Nomad/Heru.
