I recently bought one of these purely because of the realistic look on it, I’ve got 70+cm Barra, big tarpon, jacks, golden snapper & pretty much everything you can imagine on the live shrimp plastics. Not much can say no to them, cheers for the info 🍻
Mate that’s so good to hear. I can’t believe how lifelike they look. Stoked to hear you share your catches with us. So good to know they’re getting bit done in a big way. I’ve gotta fish this one a heap more I reckon.
That’s a sick looking shrimp. I’ve seen em at bcf but never had one out of the box. Psyching up for jack season. I’m still keen to give u my secret hole....
Zerek Lures keep bringing out great lures. I have the Affinity Swimbait which I caught my 1st Cod on and a Tango Shad. After so much rain down here in the Shoalhaven South Coast NSW I would have thought there would more bait about. My last 3 outings have been donut sessions. I fished yesterday 3 hours run in tide, nothing, this morning 2 hours run out nothing. That's fishing. Did you catch a fish using this lure?
Swap to weedless hook with lighter weight somehow triggers more bite rates during the fall... there's more tweaks I done to the tail & legs to improve the actions too !
Perfect timing! I'm up doing the morning shift with a one week old baby, brushing up on your back catalogue of jack tips. Can't wait. I know it's all a bit weird with social distancing rules but are you planning any seminars again this year?
Awwww mate. That’s so beautiful the time with you’re little one. Nothing better than the months where they fall asleep on your chest or lie along your arm. Crazy lack of sleep days but so precious. I’m not sure about the seminars this season mate. I was only just thinking about it. I’ll see what I can come up with as an alternative if I can’t. Definitely got some ideas if they’re a no-go. But getting boys together to get excited for the season like that is hard to beat.
Great vid John ! That prawn looks good enough to eat . Just wish there was a better way to present them( and just about everything these days ) for sale . All that plastic for one lure seems to be in contrast to most thinking fishers mindset of looking after our precious environment . Maybe it might be could be a marketing strategy for quality lure manufacturers to use eco friendly packaging to separate them selves from mass produced chain store gear . I’ll get off my soap box now , Love your channel Cheer Pete
I’ll have to include some catching footage with it in the weeks to come ;) these reviews are mostly a single take of 10minutes of chat with a few casts to describe how it can be used... stay tuned mate. I’ll get those hook ups in coming vids 👍
Hi from Singapore. I have been using the Zerek Live Shrimp for 2 years now for barramundi and have a few successes. I have bought a couple of these newer Absolut Shrimp purely for the cosmetics but after taking them out of the pack I am less than impressed by the stiffness of the tails, think I took them once out with no result. How do you reckon the Absolut Shrimp stacks up against the original Zerek Live Shrimp? Good looks aren't everything. Cheers.
Hi Will. Just in a social comp on the Gold Coast mate. Tore my hammy a few weeks back so I’m on the mend at the minute. Hahaa. Could never give it up. Who do you play with?
Ah sorry to hear about your hammy mate, my dad did his hammy on Fraser last year so I know how much it would’ve hurt. I play centre mid for Olympic u18 and still pretty keen on playing so yeah and hope your hammy gets better.
That’s awesome mate. I played a season with Olympic years ago. They’ve always got a strong crew of players so you must be doing really well. ;) great to hear
Great stuff catching you today Sam. Thanks a lot for coming over to introduce yourself and your brothers ;) good luck out fishing. I just pulled a flatty and whiting from those lagoons. What a spot.
