Hi Guys,

Mick as requested here are some pics to show sizes etc... I don't have an accurate scale to give weights, and my Big Jim is "on loan" to a mate, but I'm sure you can get an idea of its size from the other images comparing to here.


Top to Bottom:
Bigfoot 190
Big Numbas
Bigfoot 140


Top to Bottom:
Fraser
Cono-Cono
T-Rex



Left to right:
Cono - Cono
T-Rex
Fraser


Lastly a length comparison with a Wahoo 125:


Hope this helps a bit....

Brandon - I agree that no lure is indestructable..... I don't think such a thing exists... But they ceratinly feel tough as nails and very solid....

[Brandon Khoo]

Orions are extremely resilient against bite marks but will shatter against a hard object. Of course, you're not supposed to cast them against something they would shatter on........

thank you  andre
it was a great help .

and i had few repose about them

and i just found out that the BigJim's in 230G size and  cono-cono- in the 190G size Also  Big Nambus in 200G size not sure about the fraser yet .

that,s petty big popper so i guess it will be hardwork to play with

hmmm i think i better grab some big foot and big nambus

thank every one for sharing

Andre,

Well done great pics, i didn't have the time to do it. Very nice lures

[Nathan Cefai]

Andre,keen to sell some ??hehe

[Andre van Wyk]

Not until I've thrown them all at a couple hundred fish Nate!

And after that I'll be even less inclined!!!

Mick, you need a very strong popping rod for Big Jim and Conocono. That's why you need a Fire Vortex or SP78UHL.

[Chris Young]

Brandon....Mick could also use a BG Jack instead of Fire Vortex

[Brandon Khoo]

actually, when you look at the build integrity of a Fisherman, I have to agree with that. Mick, forget the previous post - I think you should turn your mind to a Fisherman BG Jack

[Luke Wyrsta]

And no Mick...I don't think there is anyone out there wanting to sell a BG Jack 

[Andre van Wyk]

Mick, you need a very strong popping rod for Big Jim and Conocono. That's why you need a Fire Vortex or SP78UHL.

Brandon - Does that mean I'm going to give myself a hernia chucking these on my DJ83MH?  

Oh well, nothing like a good excuse to look for another rod....   Its a little like putting the cart before the horse, buying the lures first, then the rod to use for it, but who ever said us tackle tarts were sane anyway....  

[Brandon Khoo]

bloody hell, you want to use a 230g Big Jim with a DJ83MH?   
Not much is going to happen when you try to pop that lure. What you need is a BG Jack!!

[Andre van Wyk]

Oh well.... I guess I'll be hunting for a new rod then Brandon.... 
For the moment I'll just use the smaller Orions or pop really  s   l   o   w   l   y  ......

The DJ works wickedly with smaller poppers and pencils and stickbaits for me right now, and big GT country is still a couple months away for me...that'll give me some time to hunt own a rod worthy of the Big Jim!

Could be 2 x BG Jacks on the go here Tak
