I've been fishing TT blades for years. Awesome lure .
I can't wait to get my hands on some of these
Hey @peterstewart2401, great to hear the TT blades have been part of your kit for years and thanks for supporting an Australian Owned & Operated Family Business. I've nailed a good variety of species on the SwitchPrawn+ and already have some favourite colours ;). Hope you get out and stuck into a few fish soon. Cheers, Justin
Great vid. Grabbed one of the 44mm in Motor Oil to try out on some unsuspecting bass this weekend.
@blkwinds8872 a deadly colour in a good all round size. Thanks for the kind words. Hope you get stuck into a few soon. Cheers, Justin
The painted detail on those lures is amazing.
Thanks @AquaMarine1000, we had a lot of fun with the colour design and testing process. Hopefully a colour in there to suit everyone. Fish on! Cheers, Justin
Been waiting for this video....thanks heaps Justin. Cant wait to get out & give them a try.
@Graza1310 thanks for the comment, it's a good motivator to get out and make some more. Hope you're hooked up soon. Cheers, Justin
i got my first legal tarwine on one, they are so easy to use
Nice work @mattyboy.1, a lot of people will never land a legal tarwhine as they are a rarer catch in a lot of regions. Great to hear that you put the SwitchPrawn+ to work. Fish on! Cheers, Justin
and it was landbased @@tackletacticstv7687
Really nice lure. Bought a couple at bcf and tried the last two days. Really good action and easy to use. Cheaper than the ecogear zx range and fishes nicely. Great colour range, ive gone with the yabby colour and the gold tiger so far, but they all look great. Very impressed. Thanks
@adampickett7518 stoked that you like the lures and great that you found them easy to fish... a couple of deadly colours in your kit too! All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Good instructional video mate ,in the usual passage spots ... will grab a couple from TW lawnton if they have them in stock
Hey @leestopps5565, Hopefully you track a few down and get stuck into the fish. Thanks for the kind words on the vid. All about covering water at the moment and can be a bit of a grind with the seasonal change. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Grandad says Great presentation Justin , Awesome captures , cheers
Thanks @rickplayle9748 fun to fish and a stack of different species eat it! Hope you're well and finding a fish. Cheers, Justin
I brought a couple this morning so will see how I go during the week , thanks for tips mate 👍
@lesfredericks4232 thanks for the support. Hope the tips are useful and you get stuck into a few fish. Cheers, Justin
You got me, just ordered 4 for click and collect tomorrow
@jonnywaselectric sounds like a solid hook up ;) Hope the video was a starting point and you get stuck into a variety of species soon. Fun to fish and it's amazing what eats them... even squid! Fish on! Cheers, Justin
@@tackletacticstv7687 thanks mate, looks like id better fire up the lure flicker and go and pick them up, I do enjoy fishing blade style lures, as you say you can cover area fast
Hi Justin Lure is Yabby UV. Doe's a real Bass Yabby glow unger UV ?
Hey @howarddavey6642 I'll have to hit one with a UV torch next time I pump some to chase whiting. Apparently a lot of bugs and aquatic creatures have micro UV highlights that fish zone in on. UV-reactive elements have definitely proven to attract fish, so you'll find the orange highlights on the lure are UV-reactive. I've caught a few fish on it... so I'm happy with the UV element ;). Hope all's well and you're finding a fish. Cheers, Justin
What do you use as your set ups ? Rod and reel sizes plz
Hey @markuren3957, I am running half a dozen TT Red Belly spin rods, with Okuma Ceymar HD spinning reels currently and they perform great and are excellent vale for money. I spool these with Platypus Pulse X8 Braid in White and Hard Armour Leader Supple Leader in 10lb. My light combo is a 7', 1-3kg rod with a 1000 reel and 6lb braid, medium combo is a 7', 2-4kg, 2500 reel and 8lb braid and heavy is 7', 3-6kg, 2500 reel and 10lb braid. Check out the video description text also as I try to include a full breakdown where I can. Hope this helps and you're getting stuck into a few soon. Cheers, Justin
Awsome video but where are you fishing that's important too ,thanks.
Hey @royanthonycusani1895, glad you enjoyed the video. I generally fish from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, but love the opportunity to fish further afield. I prefer to focus on technique and types of structure that we are fishing rather than location as fish will move with season, tide, weather, bait and other variables. If you have a solid arsenal of techniques and some knowledge of structure to fish them around, along with some proven lures in your kit, you go a long way to finding fish in most locations. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Ive fished the prawn blades for ages, great fish takers but you lose 25- 30% of the fish hooked, even when ive upped the size to no4 assist the hooks just pull so often and you lose fish i just dont use them now..
Hey @alleycat8483, no issue for me on the hooksets as yet, chasing bass in the fresh and a mixed bag in the salt. The thing I love is the variety of species that eat them! That's why we have plenty of lure options though... different species, scenarios, techniques and styles... so that we can try and switch on a bite if it's not happening. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
I agree. The fish hit the blade hard and the assist hooks rely on catching a solid hook up. Often it’s not the case.
Sooooo. I made my own assist hooks in trebles. I staggered the length so they trail each other.
It has been a game changer!!
Don’t tell TT tho. They will probably patent the design 😂
Could the hook pulls be rod related as opposed to the lure? What action is the red belly rod that was being used? Then compare it to the action of your rod
@@stephencyster I fish a Diawa Battler Silverwolf when fishing this blade.
Don’t believe it’s rod related.
