Great to see Holt Production lures doing the trick for you John, a bit of a warm up for the Flathead Classic. I was wondering how his new Violet colour was going to go, I'm sure it'll work just as good as the Motor Oil you were using.
Awesome fishing Johnny. I don't care about any kind of fishing other than flattie fishing. I bloody love it mate. Please take Tommy fishing soon. I love how he is already a better angler than me at his young age and the interaction between you both and his enthusiasm to keep and eat them. I've noticed your keeping a few more lately and have no doubt that this is mostly driven by the young champion's incessant request for you to do so. Cheers mate.
Hey when I catch a flathead In the boat I put a wet towel or some wet rag over them and use that to grab them and pick them up and has always worked well untill the lure gets tangled in it but no biggy
Nice session. I have just got my boat organised and have the next week off so plan on hitting the Tweed for some flattie action myself. It’s a cool little rig I think you might be interested in :)
@@FreqElite you put a lure scent you like into the foam so it soaks in. Then you close the box over a lure and it puts the scent onto you lure with no mess or waste
love to know if that cylindrical device that you put your lure in is for covering in scent if so great idea , any chance you can tell me where you get them , or what there called . great videos mate PAT
Great video mate, I took your advice and headed up the tweed for some jacks the other weekend but unfortunately had to cut it short because of the boat races haha. i reckon flatties are next on the list though, what water depth were you guys fishing here ? cheers 👍👍
He’s been a big fan of em for a while now. Interesting that he’s also trying out new makes and models. I’ll have to get him to share his thoughts in an upcoming vid.
What you said is kind of true, I do think the action is a tiny bit stiff. However, I have tried holt prawns and they work really well on flathead. Hopping them aggressively then pause could entice the fish. I haven't yet seen a scenario where other lures can catch fish while the holt prawns can't.
@@mylurebox New sub, love your content & mindset to so many different lure applications. You are making an older slacker keen again. I believe sometimes on a semi tight line dropping that prawn down at a 45 degree angle makes those legs work exceptionally well & vibrate in a life like manner. My theory anyway. Just watched a vid on skip casting & am determined to learn that technique. Those patches of flatty are the males hanging around a female i believe.
SEEN ON RUclips BACK IN 2018 OF TOP AUSSIE SOFT PLASTIC LURES. WILD PROFILE AND COLORS NOT SEEN TO DAY BRAWLER BAITS BY RAZOR EDGE. BASED IN WA. LOVED THE PROFILE IN FAT BOY SWIM.
@@mylurebox 65 mm in pond colour got my first 1055mm. At coin island. Big flattie love the island rock out crops helps to have alot of herring in area fished..
@@thor_6886 you know there's a good chance he didn't design them at all right? Not saying he didn't but I did find a place in Ukraine that's been making molds since 2015/16 🤷♂️
Redfish, trout ect aren’t strong fish, thin gauge hooks work great. Aussie fish destroy hooks that is unfortunately bad for hook points deformation Makes slim swimZ 2.5 1/4 ounch heavy gauge less effective although they still catch meter plus flathead fish consistently but less bream. I do prefer to catch a 48cm plus bream over a meter plus flathead any day
Old mate in the background " yup" 😂
I absolutely love the colours on these flatties, you can just see how well they camouflage in the mud
Me too ;) the longer you look, the more impressive they are I reckon. Cool stuff eh
So cool Johny keep up the cracking work and nice shot of me boat and all the rods in it haha ready for anything

Great vid Johnny. You should do a road trip to Fraser Island mate !! Love the Holt prawns can't wait for tge restock.
Great video, I love seeing people using holt productions stuff on youtube because it is so hard to find videos of people using them.
There’s gonna be a few up there from now on ;)
Awesome video mate, absolutely love chasing these things!
Cheers mate ;)

Great vid John , my Holt motor oil plastics arrived Friday but it’ll be hard to move away from your soft glide at the moment. Gotta beat that 85 PB 😜🎣
Love to hear it Nick. So stoked you’re loving em mate
Support without saying support. I like how you roll ;) 💪 Go Holt!
Cheers mate. Yep, big fan of his lures and how he’s done everything ;)
Halco laser pro 120 with the -1 meter deep bib is an awesome shallow estuary or beach gutter lure
Nice session.
I have just got my boat organised and have the next week off so plan on hitting the Tweed for some flattie action myself.
It’s a cool little rig I think you might be interested in :)
Keep up the good work mate
The bait is highly recommended, my boss, steady soul, greetings to the fishing rod
awesome session boys, great video,
Great video mate, wish I could fish aswell as you
Hey John, love your work mate, just out of Curiosity. Have you ever tried the plazo 3 3/4 inch, shrimp, Carolina pumking? Flatty love em...
I’ll have to hunt some down mate. Cheers
Great session mate. Just wondering what size holt prawn you were using? Was it a 2 inch or a 3 inch? Cheers.
They’re the 3 inch ones Luke ;) cheers mate
👍
Love you fishing content. What is the name of your sent application tube and where can you get them. Thanks
It's called a Stinkfinger scent applicator. I've seen them on ebay but if you google it I'm sure you'll find a range of places to choose from 👍
Quick question with the stink finger do they come with the scent on them?
What size motor oil swim prawn where you using
Hey John, silly question but where are your pliers from like the colours
Where do you go to get your soft plastic’s
What's in the box that you press the soft plastic into?
Just watched the whole video so now know what it's for!🤣🤣
It’s called a stink ginger you can order from old mate that makes them online. 😉
What’s in the box?!?!?
@@FreqElite you put a lure scent you like into the foam so it soaks in. Then you close the box over a lure and it puts the scent onto you lure with no mess or waste
Stink finger - $40 each
love to know if that cylindrical device that you put your lure in is for covering in scent if so great idea , any chance you can tell me where you get them , or what there called . great videos mate
PAT
Stink finger mate
What do you put on your lures
Thanks John some nice action you got to love the holtproduction lures does hold on lures have a Web site
Not sure. I can DM him on Insta, not sure of his other channels
@@mylurebox Thanks mate I started following him on insta but couldn't see a Web site
Great video mate, I took your advice and headed up the tweed for some jacks the other weekend but unfortunately had to cut it short because of the boat races haha. i reckon flatties are next on the list though, what water depth were you guys fishing here ? cheers 👍👍
should do a video with the 2" swim prawn! 😁
Ok
Hi John, Do you use a gel type scent with the Stinky Finger scent applicator? Many thanks
Hi Evan, I got Stink Finger to load it with a cocktail of scents. Since then I just pump it with S - Factor. What’s your go to?
What scents do you use on the Gold Coast flatty mate?
I love S Factor mate
What rod was you using in this vid
270M Zodias ;)
I love fishing
Which lure bro
Can I ask if it was the socks and thongs that were scaring off Jai's fish, or is that a specialized fishing outfit. 🤣
Hahaa. He did read me the disclaimer for the morning. A tad cold. ;) Haha
Love your work👍
I notice Jai is running the samurai reaction rod, what does he think of them and what set up was he running
He’s been a big fan of em for a while now. Interesting that he’s also trying out new makes and models. I’ll have to get him to share his thoughts in an upcoming vid.
@@mylurebox been looking at them hard for a bit, but the cost makes me think twice, but yeah would love to hear his thoughts.
Hey John what brand jig head and size are you using , do you find the colour jig head work better cheers and thanks once again for your vids
I can quite decide for the coloured jig head yet. I’m a fan but haven’t done enough with em up the pin to get a proper gauge. Makes sense but
@@mylurebox what size jighead and hook for the 3inch swimprawn do you use?
I've got some lures I reckon you would froth for flatties. Let me know I'll send you a couple to try out
what is the clam shell for soft plastics
It’s called Stink Finger. Awesome new product
Hi John great vid as usual, could you or someone on here tell me the weight of your soft glide - cheers 🍻
Cheers Michael :) The Soft Glides are 64g
@@mylurebox thanks John much appreciated 🙏
I've never had too much success on the Holt prawns. I find them really stiff with very little action, it's like throwing a dead weight. Any tips?
What you said is kind of true, I do think the action is a tiny bit stiff. However, I have tried holt prawns and they work really well on flathead. Hopping them aggressively then pause could entice the fish. I haven't yet seen a scenario where other lures can catch fish while the holt prawns can't.
Thanks Lucas ;) my thoughts too. These are legit one of my favourite estuary lures. Aggressive sharp rips does the trick

Hey John another great video. Tell Jai I love the socks and thongs look.
😲....bestesest sesh... Crack up u still being nice when ur pissed.
Fluro
Any lure is a fish magnet when the fish are around in numbers
can you please do a video on the gulp ones
It’s unlikely mate I’m sorry. I’m a big fan of the original. Is there any other lure you’d like to also see ?
@@mylurebox DOA prawn
Taking the piss

I’ll have to take a look ;)

This the new Berkley lure? I'm watcing on mute
no, the original Aussie designed Holt prawn which Berkeley was clearing "inspired" by (see the vid description above)
@@thor_6886 you know there's a good chance he didn't design them at all right? Not saying he didn't but I did find a place in Ukraine that's been making molds since 2015/16 🤷♂️
Can't stand the broady for boat etiquette. Tweed is way better. People seem to have more of a clue there. Great vid mate. Cheers
Agreed mate ;) Tweed is a favourite
Go the stink finger.

It kills me when grown men say "yummy" A kids word.
Yep yup yep yeeeep yup yup yep yep yup bloody hell don’t wear it out
Maybe some knobheads will recognise their boats swamping you in your spot and become better people... But then again maybe not.
Hahahaaa. So funny mate. All good 👍
why are you fishing if you don't keep them for food
Bit of a shame it only took one generation for the art of talking to be completely lost... Just too awkward for me sorry guys.
what?
