10cm : Suspending 18.4g.

I wrote about this lure before.
http://worldlurecatalog.blogspot.com/2011/12/strike-pro-trailer.html

I bought this from "Pro Tackle Solutions" of U.S.A. California last week.
And the package reached me today.
Since I tried "Internal Scent Chamber" system of this lure, I introduce this again.

"Scent Cookie" is bundled with this lure.

Scent Cookie can be added to the “Internal Scent Chamber”.

Attach "Internal Scent Chamber" to the main body of "Trailer" Lure.

Can you see from this Photo that Scent Cookie is beginning to melt ?
It was slow that Scent Cookie melted than my expectation.
However, this lure and system will surely demonstrate an effect to catfish fishing.

Cotton Cordell : Jointed Red Fin

5" : Floating 5/8oz (18g).

This is the long seller big minnow bait which is called "Red Fin".
Do you know that This lure has smooth surface model and not smooth model ?
Smooth surface model is the old model, not smooth surface model is the latest model.
I have only smooth surface model.
Therefore, although I do not compare two types, these swimming seems to be different.
I heard it from a Japanese lure mania.
I want to inspect it sometime.

Heddon : Tiger (#1010)

5.7cm : Floating 1/4oz (official).

In 1967, Heddon Tackle Company released a new lure called the "Tiger"...since then, Tiger lure became world famous lively bait.
Tiger lure has 4 size. #1010 is the smallest size.
"#1010" is a model number and is usually called "Tiny Tiger" or "Tiger Cub" in many cases.

My Tiger collection.

All the front hooks are changed into the Gamakatsu red hooks.
The top model is '80s model, and 2 of the remainder are the latest model (Tiger lure #1010 is discontinued item now).

Rebel : Jawbreaker

14cm : Sinking 32g.
discontinued item.

This is the old big minnow bait which is called "Jawbreaker".

I understand that this lure is for blue fish by the trolling and musky (Pike), as a result of search on the Internet.
But the truth is that I know very little about this lure.

I got this lure (NIB) at the auction of Japan in December 2011.
Why did I get this lure not to know well ?
Because I felt name and looks of Jawbreaker very cool !!.

Megabass : Lip Less Bait (Fast Sinking)

8cm : Sinking 3/4oz.
discontinued item.

Megabass lures are one of the lure which is the most popular in Japan.
When popularity of Megabass was the best (late 90s ~ early 00s), we were not able to get them by the usual method.
Many shops sold Megabass lures at a premium price.
because the people bought them at a premium price with pleasure.
At the time, I did not buy them at such a crazy price, because I was not interested in Megabass lures.
This is a ridiculous story, but is truth.

However, Megabass lure which was unpopular in such a situation is "Lip Less Bait" introduce this time.
I think that this lure had unpopular reasons are in the following three points.

1) Megabass prepared many color lineup for the seas for this lure.
2) Therefore, this lure was recognized by people as lure for sea fishing.
3) But sea lure fishing was no popular than bass fishing in Japan in those days.

I got this lure at the auction of Japan in November 2011.
I looked at this and thought, "To be sure, will fish people well."

Halco : Sorcerer (Scorpion) 52 SR

5.2cm : Floating 6g.

This lure is called "Sorcerer", and also has the name of "Scorpion".
It is unknown why it has two names.

Incidentally it is called "Sorcerer" in Japan in many cases.
however, it is called "Scorpion" in Australia which is a home country of this lure.

Although this lure has some sizes, I have "52" is the second size from the bottom. It has equipped with the strong split ring which does not suit the small body.
Probably I think that this is a measure to the powerful fish of Australia.
