Nice looking lure mate,do you design any heavier lures for GTs ?

[Abdel Ibrahim]

Their are several larger sizes and different models in the pipeline. 

Baby steps....

Very good to see a new product!

Abdel can you tell us a bit more about them? Eg, materials used, swivel brand etc.

Also, it might just be me, but when I saw this was billed as a pencil, I expected to see a cupped pencil popper and not the nice looking surface stickbait that you have designed.

[Abdel Ibrahim]

Thanks for the compliments Mark.

To answer your question, GPC lure bodies are cut from high grade hard wood.  Our wire, nose grommets,  and rear weights are stainless, and we use very strong 100kg swivels.  These plugs can handle monster fish.  During the entire painting and decorating process the body receives approximately 20 coats of a shiny top quality urethane finish.  All components, including paint are sourced in Japan.  We feel this is a great product for the price.

As for my jargon, I've noticed that a lot of anglers on English forums refer to this type of lure as a 'stickbait'.  Japanese call them 'pencils', and as I've lived here for the better part of my adult life I call them pencils too.  Sorry for any confusion  .

If anyone has any questions feel free to give me a shout.  I am aware that a lot of anglers are looking for these kinds of lures in larger sizes and we're planning to put some out before too long.

Looking forward to sharing more info with you in the coming days.

Hi everyone,

I just realized I misstated some info about the lure components.  The swivels we use are 2/0 size and have a 360kg breaking strength.  I was pretty tired, typing fast and not paying attention to what I was writing.  My apologies.

More Titans in different colors are in the pipeline so stay tuned.

Looks great in the water, very nice!

Hi Abdel,

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for such incredible service... I ordered the lures on Sunday the 20th of Feb, and they arrived her in Cape Town, hand delivered ( with no customs charges ) before midday yesterday, Friday the 25th of Feb here in Cape Town....

South AFrica is one of the most expensive and slowest places in the world to ship to.... 3 - 5 Day express shipping from the US takes a minimum of 2 weeks to get here... So I must say I was incredibly impressed, great service Abdel, my many thanks!

Now on to the lures.... Pictures don't do these lures justice guys... absolutely beautiful in hand... incredible finish, definetly in line with your other super boutique hand built lures, or better.... I'm comparing these in finish to lures like Gammas', Gary Ukubo Black Sheep, Souls Airmatics and the likes...

Can't wait to take them for a swim...

Cheers
Dre

That's a very impressive post from Andre.

I will certainly be very interested in the larger GPC stickbaits which seem to be in the pipeline.

[Abdel Ibrahim]

Hi again,

Andre, thanks for the compliments.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you pull up on the lure. 

I'll be posting some info on lures currently in testing in the coming days.

Stay tuned.
