Ben Rivers:
Guys

Before I handover $110 for a Patriot Design World Combat 175, has anyone had any experience with this lure and is it worth the spend?

Details can be found here: http://www.fishhead.com.au/store/products/Patriot-Design-World-Combat-175.html

Lure is 205mm Long and Weighs 175g.

Thanks Ben

Brandon Khoo:
If Craftbait forgot to carve the cup out of a GT3, it'd look a lot like this!  ;D

Mark Harris:
Good call Brandon  ;D.

Ben , I would suggest that if you are building a collection of lures, then there are better options for the money than this one. Nothing against PD as I really like the Master Bomb.

Ben Rivers:
Thanks guys.

I'm going to buy 1 more lure - just not sure whichone to add to the below, any further suggestions (Budget around $100):

Mark Harris:
From poppers that are readily available, I would add another GT3 150 or Cubera 150. These are the poppers I would use most often and having more than one has to be good.

But I see you do not have single pencil in there.  So, I reckon that would be a good addition. See what you can find in ready stock but ones I like include Adhek Ocean Lady 160, Craftbait GT Pencil 140 and Carpenter Kattobi.  Might be tough finding any of those in stock in Australia in which case try Fisherman Long Pen (but be ready for the finish to fall off), Hammerhead Tobi or one of the Full Scale pencils (can't speak for those but  I am sure others can and they look great!).
