Had a request to design a lure that would represent a Scat.......one of the lads was down around the mouth of the South Alligator over the weekend and told me that BIG barra were smashing Scats in the creeks, he had nothing even close that he could chuck at them. I said yeah I'll give it a go, so I hops on the computer to see exactly what a Scat looked like and immediately thought this ain't gunna look pretty and I had serious doubts about it's swimability..... After a few hours of shaping and sanding, then a lot of time experimenting with swim weights I came up with the below pictured lure. Once I got some paint and eyes on it I was genuinely surprised how close a representation it was and even more surprised with the swim action, it has a seriously good action. With plenty of contrast in the colour and putting out good signals with those big flat sides I will be astounded if this doesn't take fish..... |
