the only thing with the Ocea 150 is that it is a little small and light for big GTs. It looks like a great lure for other species
Andrew Poulos:
I haven't used my Ocea yet. Its scheduled for a debut next trip off the rocks. Im hoping it will work well on pelagics. The floating one is 46g and the sinking 60gr. An ok weight on a tuna stick for some close range action.It probably wouldn't come out looking too good after an encounter with a big gt.
Greg Burt:
Hopeing to Jig the deep on Sunday and will try the Ocea on my 15kg spinning outfit [Emlem-pro / T-C 10-15] if we come across any surface action [my feet are getting itchy and my palms are sweaty].
Matt Hill:
have used the shimano one and the yellowfin absolutely loved it. they were launching out of the water and nailing it. eventually lost it to a massive dirty old mac tuna right at my fett. think the impact of it hitting the lure so hard at such a short distance from the rod tip did the damage to the line as i was only running 10kg.
cheers matt
Brandon Khoo:
doesn't it give you the $@#! to lose a lure in front of you! I lost my favourite popper about two yards from my rod tip to a big wahoo. Their teeth are amazing. It cut through fourstrands of 100lb mono like it was butter.
