It's a very tricky lure to use properly. I think you would be best off starting with some floating stick baits which are easier to use.
Gammas are superb lures but it is much better to first get used to the basics of swimming a much less demanding stick bait.

Thanks Mark for the advise.
In Singapore, we normally practice casting and working the lure in reservoirs first although we know that the water density will be different, also not subjected to currents and waves. However that should not be too different when the sea is calm.
I have quite a few stickbaits now and seem to be working well after a little practice. Perhaps because I am doing mainly luring prior to popping so it does not seem to be that hard to work them.
;D

I somehow did not preview my answer your question on my last post but heres is my answer to what rod I'm using.I use my 120g gamma with my Blue Lagoon 80/30 and my
160g Diablo and 200g gamma with my Monster 80H.I have not tried the 200g gamma yet but will give it a try on the next trip.Ive already caught fish on these stickball and I like it but not the price.Im interested on trying the ASWB and Siren lures later if they have any on stock.

At least you are lucky to get some gamma.
In my country, its always out of stock for 120-160g.

Hi Alex
The website below should sort you out in regards to Gammas. Can be prohibitive in terms of $ but there is the odd bargain to be had.

Enter gamma weight i.e. 160 to narrow the search down.
Happy bidding
Andrew
