3rd ever Jew and still not a keeper. DUO lures!

Saturday morning last week marked the only clear patch from both wind and rain for the last 2 or so weeks.  It was also the first time I got to give those magical DUO lures a swim.  I started out as early as I usually do, watching the sunrise as I paddle around flicking some gear.  I started out the morning with dropping a few lures under the motorway bridge in the Mooloola River without a touch.  I changed up between everything I had with me and not even a touch.  I paddled further down the river towards Minyama Island and to the little stretch where I had been lucky a few weeks prior with the trevally.  I snapped on the DUO Spearhead Ryuki 80s and gave it a few swims to determine the action and sink rate etc.  I gave it a real flick for a few times at some pontoons without any luck.  I drifted with the tide back upstream a short distance and flicked into a bridge pylon, after sounding some interesting structure and fish returns I let the DUO sink and gave it a few hops accross the bottom until it was graciously gulped by what I initially thought to be a bream.  After a short battle I called it for a Jew because of the sustained fight but I knew it wouldn't be huge.  Up came this little fella for a few photo's.  Unfortunately my camera let me down yet again so I had to fish out my phone and get snappy with that.  It swam off happily spraying me with a tail flick to say thanks.

Thanks for reading.  Hope your all getting a few.

Little bit of DUO lure porn

Hello everyone.  I've been flat out trying to find a gap in the weather to cast a lure over the last few weeks so I don't have any fishy photo's to share.  I recently picked up some new lures called DUO lures so I thought I would post up a few pics of what they look like.  They are a bit different to every other lure I have used from big name companies.  DUO lures are what you might call the slimfit or skinny jeans of the lure world.  Across the shouldures most of the diving lures are much slimmer, I'm not sure if this adds or subtracts from the action as I havn't had much of an opportunity to swim them.  I can say that they are definatley a quality build and the ones that are painted should remain painted for a long time to come.  So the lures turned up to the door without split rings or trebles - I like putting on my own gear.  I put single lure hooks on most of them as I find I'm getting less snags and tangles using these without jeapordising my hook-up rate, yet.  I ran out of the smaller sized singles so some of the lures did end up with old fashioned trebles.  I took a few snaps of the smaller TOTO bream lures, the Realis popper and the larger bullet.  I will post up some more in the next few days once I have been able to get them to pose properly for the camera and hopefully with some bloody fish!
