Got out with my young bloke yesterday to test the first batch of lures. To say we were happy with the results would be a massive understatement! Sometimes words can't paint a completely accurate picture, so I took the liberty of making a video. Check it out, hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed ourselves yesterday!

Thanks fellas, glad you liked the video.
Just wanted to check too - for those of you that paint your bibs, does it chip off the front of your bibs after bumping along too many snags? Probably a silly question, but the lures I used on the weekend (trolling) spent a bit of time bumping along the bottom of the creek and as a result are now missing paint on the front of the bibs. Not a major concern as these are built to be used, not necessarily look pretty on the shelf, just want to check if this is normal.
