It was too deep for the 7” to get down there, but the 5” worked well

It was a gorgeous day out there. Haven’t used bait since about 2017 😅

Lights last 70hrs in water. The can be knocked out and a new one glued in. Lures and new lights are sold here fishinginnovators.co.nz/products/replacement-lure-lights?_pos=2&_sid=eccd04d9d&_ss=r

We have discontinued the worm lure now

Thanks mate! I have heard the weather is pretty mid down your way at the mo. Hopefully you will be out there smashing it soon!

Good plan! There are some nice weather windows coming this weekend 🙂

Good on ya Scott! We have also been using these little jig heads right up in the kelp zone when these strong offshores are blowing

Yes. It was windy as! We need to invest in some better microphones. But it proves that the lures are really good in windy conditions

You only buy lures if the video sounds good? Use them and you'll be singing your own song.

They work even better when there are more big fish present. That will be July to October in the hauraki gulf

Cheers! We reckon these heavier Sumo grumpy fish will work even better for Dwhats in the strong currents around Kapiti Island.

If you have the anchor down and you are bait fishing then the Grumpy Fish will not perform so well because it does not have a natural action and the fish are attracted to the smell of the bait. Start drifting over areas that are holding fish and you will often do better on the Grumpy Fish because it is moving like a little squid and getting in front of new fish as it drifts. It will then often out fish bait and the smaller hooks will damage less fish too.

They don't come close to bait softbaits are also better

Hey Blair, Are you sure that you are using the soft baits and jig heads from Glowbite (Mighty Micros)? Watch the video from 9 minutes onward. They should not be hard to install and pliers are never required. Jig Heads with smaller lugs on them don't tend to hold these super stretchy soft plastic baits so well.

Yeah the 6 pack with three jig heads. Got better at getting the micro on and up to the barb by the fourth go, but once the head hits the first barb the rest of the body just squishes up behind and they ain't going on without being pulled and stretched. No drama i'll suss it. Had a go yesterday, the action of these in the water is very nice and they sure do look realistic. I found a straight retrive worked best for the shallow water I was in off the rocks

Thank you! 😊 the slow pitch set up I am using is a PE2 Oceans Legacy Elementus rod paired with a Maxel transformer F30CH.

We launched at Gulf Harbor in Auckland that day. That is the boat ramp that you can see behind me in the video. Other testing and filming missions are done in a range of locations all over New Zealand

Then it will just be a Jack... not so flash 🙂 Seriously though, they work just as well as any other slow pitch lure if the light is deactivated (we have tested this), but the light makes them much more noticeable to fish. Lights last for 70 hours in the water and replacements can be purchased at fishinginnovators.co.nz/collections/spare-parts/products/replacement-lure-lights

That's the one!

Yep, the micro paddlers are going off! 😅 we will have to send some down to you

Thanks for the feedback :-) I’m sure you will find that the micro paddlers are deadly too!

Yes, when fishing from a boat or a kayak I cast in front of the area that I am drifting into and twitch and swim the lure slowly back to me. I think one of the key things is that I am using a very fine braid so that it does not hang up in the water column, doesn't stretch and I can feel the lure even when it is a very light weight. I have fished the 12 gram lure in up to 50m of water using this braid.

Yeah, I got a couple of nice Trevally on them at Orewa this week too! Thanks for the feedback and great to hear that you are enjoying it! Cheers

Hi Pieter, yes because these lures are so popular and catching so many fish we will release the soft baits and jigheads separately soon. Our method is always to send the new lures out to subscribers first and get their feedback, then we look at any improvements or variations that will work well. If there is a specific colour soft bait that you prefer, you can get that on the www.fishinginnovators.co.nz website instead of buying the 3 colour sampler packs

@@glowbitefishing4945 Wow..I was going to ask the same question about those very nicely made small jig head and small soft bait..👍👍👍

Mate! Growing up there would be awesome! It is a gorgeous spot 😊

I was using an Alvey Orbiter SR100 reel and a matching Alvey RO100 rod (7 foot soft bait combo). Its a very smooth set up and it works these lures very well. The braid that I use is only 0.08mm and it is rated 10 pound but I find that it breaks at about 18 pound on the tester. Braid is called Perline Surf Pro. All available at www.fishinginnovators.co.nz/collections/shop Cheers

Absolutely! Some of New Zealands keenest fishermen are... South African 🙂

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it and great to have you on the test team!

I’m sure it will mate. These lures are definitely working well for you!

Thanks Peter, they are definitely working well at the moment 🙂

Thanks Andy. Did I mention that one of my peddles broke? Kept me from going too far, but it turned out to be a good thing!

Yeah, I loved the format for this comp.

All good mate. I am sure that the lure will go well for you!

They have been working really well for me out of my kayak :-)

It's gonna be great to see what you catch on these!

@@glowbitefishing4945 super excited to go flick some off the wharves around wellington! Cheers 😁

Thanks for your encouragement!

Looking forward to hearing about the fish that you catch on this new lure!

Thanks Dylan! I am sure they will be epic down your way

Let me know when you catch that massive fish on one!

@@glowbitefishing4945is 80g the lightest weight your doing on these?
