Blast from the past

Post by davelumb »

I only went chucking lures around to evaluate two 8ft 6in American Tackle Bushido rods to see what lure types and sizes they'd be best suited to (in my opinion). I clipped a Bull Dawg on forthe first time in 15 years I reckon, and first cast...

I hadn't even bothered to take a camera so had to use my hated phone

Just shows a good lure is always a good lure. Even when it's been nested next to one of a different colour for ages.

Half an hour later I was on my way home. :grin:

It's a pity lure fishing from the bank is such a PITA these days with rules about mats and nets making you carry more junk around. :sad:

The heavy rod casts a Mag Dog no probs, and the Regular Dawg flew out effortlessly. Nice action, fast but smooth. The jack didn't bend it though! :laughs:

The light rod will handle a Regular Dawg well enough too. :grin:

Talking about bully's, can you still get them over here? They seem to have fallen out of fashion :scratch:

Hardly anything on there these days, he hasn't updated the stock for years.

Carp is my most productive colour. I remember once I took a friend out lure fishing for the day, so he could catch his first pike. I told him to use the carp colour dawg as it is one of the best lures, but he didn't fancy it. Suit yourself I thought, first cast I had a fish :laughs: :grin:

Try bass online on eBay. I bought a regular off him last year. A bit limited on colours but he does carry the magnum and spring sizes and different styles like the helidawg :thumbs:
