They are very nice lures, I attach the 155, 205, and GT3 170gm left to right in sequence for comparison.
The 155 actually has a bigger cup than the 205.
I'm going to test them next month.
-
Great stuff. Big splash for mama GTs.
-
Nice looking lures.
-
Has anyone tried them yet? i know they are new but there is the chance.
Brandon do you have any?
-
Brock - don't cry but I was trying to get a shipment of Masterd Bombs and the two stickbaits - the Atomic Pile and Patrol for you guys to use on your trip to Cooktown. Matsutani did a special shipment for us and they were supposed to arrive yesterday. Due to delays with EMS it looks like they will arrive tomorrow - probably an hour or so after you guys leave :'( Looks like I get to play with them first before you and Duncan get to see them. ;) Have got some of the replacement propellors coming too....... Can't wait to see them. They look cool.
Have fun on the trip.

Janelle,
thank you for that, i'm sure you will have fun with them, maybe you can hold some for me :D :D :D :D.
will chat with you guys at the shop once we are settled in.
-
Brock,
There is NO chance YOU get to try them before me!!!!
Anyway, I know of 2 other guys from Sydney who pilfered my stock.....
Nice job Mal & Chris!!!!!!
There is still one I have for R & D....I now have to somehow beat Gordon Low to it.....Yikes....he's tooooo biiiiiiiiig....Brandon...sort him out for me will ya??
Aaron.
-
sort Gordon out?! :o
Sorry Aaron, you're on your own :-[
-
Awwwwwww Brandon!
You can take him!
And besides, I'd even give you the first cast with the Masterd Bomb for doing it....
Sound reasonable??
As for the Masterd Bombs, I'm keen to see if the scalloped sides give it a wiggle action when pulled under the drink....they look interesting!
-
Aaron....Theres lots of ways to get a wiggle when pulled under :o ;D
-
Maybe if we got about five of us together at the same time, we might be able to take him otherwise we're going to end up resembling pretzels.
Sorry Aaron, a Masterd Bomb isn't worth that much to me. They look like a GT2 Craftbait on steroids and besides, I've become very partial to the Fullscales
Awwwwwww Brandon!

The Man Mountain was feeling sore the other week from Gym work.
He was pushing around 560kg with his legs 'cause he thought he's try'....
OK...even I see five of us being pretzels....you got a spare Kong ;D ;D ;D
Aww bugger it....I'll just pinch it when he's not looking and 'Run Forest, Run!!!!!!!!!'
I am very keen to try all of the new Patriots actually...they look way coool and more importantly, different.
-
As i said, I'll stick to the Kongs. I can't end up like a pretzel that way
If you like that wiggle movement on a popper, the 180 Kong swims almost like a minnow when you get it under the water

I'm with you Brandon. I just bought a half dozen Kongs off Chris that I'm itching to get some teethmarks in.
Besides, it'll be a while before we pry the Patriot popper out of Aaron's grubby little mitts.... he's sitting in the corner like Golum clutching his precious.. :-X
Here's a pic from our earlier product testing on the Kong's at CI.

Golum Eh???
Lowy! Don't make me come over there!! Nah stuff it, I'll be right over you powder puff!
It IS my precious....along with my 2 new Kongs ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Aaron vs the rest of my tackle rat mates!!!
-
Clearly, Aaron is delusional.
Aaron, I really don't think you will be covered by workers compensation if you aggravate him. By the time I get there on Saturday, you should quite closely resemble a pretzel

Brandon, I couldn't lay a finger on Aaron! You know we've developed quite a soft-spot for him at the shop. He's kinda like Donkey from the Shrek movies ;D
I meant to mention when i hung that pic up...
The guy in the pic is "Krutch"... which ironically was his nick-name long before he tackled this GT without a Gimbal belt!!! Pretty fitting name after that! :o
That was the firt fish on the Kong in the pic and it went on to land more than a dozen fish over 20kg (plus a bunch of rats) before we retired it.... it's hanging on the glory wall at "Fishhead" now.
-
wonderful - can we call Aaron Donkey from now on? ;D
I've seen that much abused popper in Fishhead. I had one fish in NC do more damage to the popper than all those fish together. Mind you, I had the same recently at Jewell. I had one extremely precious SS popper which had 14 fish up on it and was still fine and the 15th fish just obliterated it. It's now hanging on the side of my LCD screen at work.

The 'Billfish Bash' is cancelled through our lovely weather conditions, so on Saturday I may call in on the way back from the Goldy with some 'schooly' survivors, so Aaron if you want me to take 'Precious' back to the Sunshine Coast away from the clutches of Gordy, I will, just for you ;D
