How good are Orion lures
July 01, 2011, 10:42:39 AM
I know i dont have to convince many of you on here on how good these lures are.
But for me they just continue to go from strength to strength. Over the last 12 months they have slayed the kings for us including one lure a Crazy GT which must have caught close to 100 good fish on its own.
In New caledonia we used a wide variety of lures but by day 4 there was one clear standout and that was a big sinking Namabas, the crazy was good but the Nambas was outstanding.
Every time an angler hooked up on this lure there was a moment of panic, not for fear of losing the fish but fear of being the one responsible for losing the gun lure. It ended up surviving our trip but got beaten up pretty bad, the very last cast of the trip it landed a 46kg fish.

Yeah I love them.

Bigfoot is my favourite but this year I have some nice Numbas for Buggati.

Is the garfish comp on Brandon..?

Hey Mark, I cant beleive that Crazy GT is still going - and it survived New Cal as well!  Is that the orange one?

Just waiting on my latest delivery of Orions to arrive, it includes Crazy's, Numba's and Big foots - nuff said!

Any idea what's the difference in action between the sinking Nambas and the bigfoot?

Looks like I might need to give Eric more business!

If the garfish comp is on, I've got Crusty's massive sidewinders... :o

My understanding is the Nambas are floating stickbaits.

The original Big Nambas 230 is the way to go

Eric is a great guy - fortunately near enough that I met him last year at a show in France and picked up some more lures - just ordered some more last night for Cape Cod ...

He also does smaller sizes of stickbaits including a dinky 30g bigfoot - great for inshore stuff too!

I can't rate them highly enough - tough as nails with an action to die for!

You can buy direct from Eric or buy from a local retailer - where are you in the world?
