These lures catch everything. For more insights into how to work them, make sure you check out my earlier videos on these lures including my reviews and videos on how I like to fish them.
Just getting back into lure fishing after about a 10 year hiatus. Currently in WA and discovering the options over here. Bassdays, Atomics and MMDs are my go to for surface fishing over here. Love the advice and tips John, keep up the good work. Tight lines
Another great lure for the summer and top water action is Jackson risk bait. I call it the master of all top water lures. the way they designed that lure to stand on surface is driving queen fish nuts.
I have been trying both, no luck with the splash prawn yet but I have been really entertained by little Tailors absolutely smashing the sugapen, good fun.
Hi John. Spot on the sugapen for anything and everything. The 95 is the one for me the bream and whiting will still go at the larger lure but also a chance of big flathead. I used to use a light leader but now use 12 pound just to guard against losing it to a big flatty. Top water sight fishing is no 1 in my opinion.
I have sugapens and splash prawns and love them. But most days i cant look past my berkely pop dog. Subtle action very similair to the splash prawn and only $11. Also landed my first jack of the season on one 👍
I've been using the sugapen for a while but the splash prawn I purchased after watching your features on it and it has produced the goods. I really like the daiwa slippery dogs. They are very easy to walk the dog with and fish love them.
Luckycraft NW pencil in the 52mm or the 68mm and Zipbaits skinny pop 90mm and skinny pop jr 70mm. You can get them at the right price if you look hard enough even used if you can't afford them new.
@@mylurebox Ive mainly just chased bream and whiting on the flats with them, so I havent really messed with the hooks yet. I like using them when there is a bit of a ripple on the surface it allows the fat backside to drag across the water while the head bounces off the chop like a skipping prawn.
Hi John I headed out on the still slightly dirty Clarence today with an MMD splash prawn to fish the weed beds after watching your channel , great results with some regular hits from small-medium size flathead. I had good runs and what felt like well set hooks but dropped way more than I landed. Any thoughts / tips on this would me much appreciated. Either way it was an epic day on the kayak.
So good to hear you found some fish mate ;) I tend to run a fairly loose drag once they’re hooked. Assist hooks or small singles are options that I’ve used in the past to help keep fish on. It’s worked with Jacks too.
our warmest water in summer way down south is as warm as your winter water makes we wonder why you guys don't get surface acton all year round!...been catching fish on the surface in winter here although a lot more casts between fish they still slurp in the cooler months.
@@aussie_fishcatcha9583 bro let Mick Molnar know at MMD. I’m sure he’ll look after you if you send him a photo. If you don’t get anywhere in the coming days let me know.
@@mylurebox yeah it still swims fine i think i might have hit something while i was testing in my pool, i don't think i really want to cause a huge stink because it was probably me fault in the end. ps i almost got a decent bream this morning but he came of at my feet with the splash prawn
Hey John what size trick bits to suit the 95mm sugapen? I'm going to get online to order a few. Also I noticed you set up the crossfire 195's with a similar assist setup are they a larger size trick bitz? Cheers
classic should of replied in Portuguese , makes you wonder how he understood the vid as long as he enjoyed it . Can ya do some more vids on refitting your fav Jack lures out eg. hooks and splits cheers bro
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it. It’s great to speak to my favourite fishing channel on RU-vid. I quite like the skinny pop jr which is similar to a sugapen and they make a surface prawn which i haven’t used. Their colours are very aesthetically pleasing much like Bassday.
