Title: Full Scale Big 180's, Big 200's and Long Kong's and Pencil Stock.
Post by: Aaron Concord on September 29, 2009, 10:46:04 AM

Hi All!

I have had a 'run' of Chris Young's most recent additions to his collection arrive.
Having said this, a heap have already run out the door over the last few days before I could do this post!
It's hard to stop the grapevine from decimating stock around here at times!

For those that have enquired on stock, I have:

Long Kongs: Pink White x 1
            Blue Wiggle x 1
            Red Gobblin x 1
Pencils: Red Goblin x 1
         Green Goblin x 1
         Purple Goblin x 1
Big 200: Green Goblin x 1
         Black Glitter x 2
Big 180: Ocean Aqua x 1

I also have standard 180's and 200's in store, though I have more on order.....poor Crusty  ;D

Cheers

Aaron.

Hi Andrew,

I'll get Duncan to bring his SLR in and take a few shots.
I trolled through the main frame but couldn't find an image for you. ???

I have chucked one around and they are damn hard to get to 'blow out': they can cope with some pretty high speed!

Crusty said that they have great action when doing a 'barra slap' retrieve.
This is like working a slash bait or even a stick bait though at much higher speeds.
The aim is to rythmically rip the rod from arond 30 degrees above the horizon level to 30 degrees below.
My attempts have shown it will violently slap it's head side to side, ripping the water apart.
It looks like a longtom getting the speed wobbles.

Aaron.

Will have a think about it.
