Great review, John 👍🏼. There is some absolutely beautiful stuff there mate. Great review of all the new gear and can’t wait to see how you go with them.
I appreciate your calling out designs that are too close to locally crafted lures - I’m not across them as well as you are, so it helps avoid purchasing certain brands that come too close in design - we don’t want to support that. Great content as always,thanks for the vid.
Mate it’s so common I’m struggling to keep up. Just sad overall and dirty feels in every case I hear to be honest. It doesn’t take much to innovate and bring some fire each year. It’s sad and lazy in my opinion esp. when they’re talking ‘new’ and ‘innovation’ when it’s a direct rip…. Plenty of good stuff to still try and focus on nevertheless.
Some of those lures, just next level. To me it’s just mind blowing how these companies come up with new lures like this each year. The Rapala Crush City soft plastics, the Duo and Samaki and Apia, bibbed lures look killer, and those Sugapen new Prawn imitation topwater Popper style lures. Only thing I don’t understand is how I didn’t organise to be there myself. It looks awesome, wow!!😮
@tobyneill6002 it's just funny that he is going on about the berkley copies and such but then pick that t lure up and loves it. He might never seen a zz40 though
Yeah that’s what I thought too as soon as I saw it, just like EcogearZX40. Actually never really like the you tube vids Tackle Tactics put out either, just use soft plastics from Z-man. Where’s the innovation in that. Nothing like John and My Lure Box, who uses any and every lure.
Mate it’s so rife I can’t keep up. Just sad overall and dirty feels in every case I hear to be honest. You boys are bang on with the ripping on the ZX40. Spewing they’re doin it. There’s genuinely so much room to innovate… I’ve got some cool examples in my line up coming over the next couple of years. It’s exciting times in that regard but I know those sharks are already circling. Just gonna swim like mad and enjoy the journey of creating some cool stuff while it lasts.
thx John for the tour. i took 2 swing mikey 115s to copeton this winter n got 2 80+ cod on them, they float. they can wake the surface n on the wind dive couple of feet depending the cast distance. the terminals r bass ready so i up graded the rings n trebs as heavy as i cud to keep the bouncy n subtle movement wen floating at rest, rings decoy ex 4+ n trebs bkk fang 2s. for wat they do n wat i learnt i can do with them was amazing n a staple in my cod box now. river cod will be awesome as well, bout to find out. this year will be barra to c how they go. this flathead season will be these across the flats.
John, on another clip ive seen from down there the presenter showed off what you quickly put down at the start and i thought they look very familiar. Now you know how Jamie Holt feels.
Yes mate. It’s a tough take but the sad reality. Hard to cover on my channel now I’ve got a line of stuff coming and that big name is holding creators down from building out and growing. Despite whatever story they create around it, it is gonna make it a challenge. One I’m gonna take on though nonetheless. 👍
Mate it’s so rife I can’t keep up. Just sad overall and dirty feels in every case I hear to be honest. The little blade I picked up I didn’t think was a same same, but yep, you’re dead right.. when I got a better look on the Saturday… it’s too close for comfort in my opinion. Off it.
So many amazing lures… I want them all!! Love the new Bassday lure. With the company that we won’t name… why does nobody name and shame them? They just rip off other peoples designs every single year.
Mate it’s so rife I can’t keep up. Just sad overall and dirty feels in every case I hear to be honest. I’ve got some skin in the game now with my own line of lures coming and I’m sure with what I’ve got in the pipeline, I’m gonna have it happen to me too. Won’t be long before it gets the better of me and the conversations are had publicly. Some people could care less, and I respect their position, but I feel like it’s hurting the small guys and I hate that.
It’s so frustrating to see every year. Apparently more brands following suit from what I’m reading in the comments.. Rapala doing it right with CrushCity from what i can see
Hey John, thanks mate for showing us around the expo, there's always something that catches the eye. I will have to get down there one year and have a look around for myself. Mate you know I'm one of your biggest fans but I'm a bit deaf these days, any chance of getting a remote microphone to clean up that auto. One of these remote mics. would help on those windy days out on the boat recording as well. Something like this guy uses in his videos ruclips.net/video/ENOslkR0BwI/видео.html would do the trick. Looking forward to the Flathead Classic & a cracking Jack season. Can we expect a jack lure from you soon ?.
Hey mate. Thanks again for getting in touch. I’ve just got new wireless mics so will give em a go in the upcoming vids. I’d really appreciate your feedback there. I’ve got a Jack lure coming. Hoping for Summer. It’s gold. Been doing a lot of testing to get it right. It’s full of innovation and insights to help get those red dogs ripping drag more often. Stay tuned brother
@mylurebox no chasing the set up for your whiting lures to catch big flat heads I'm new to this lure game came across your video and thought your lures were fantastic but only one has a set and was told from Darren at motackle that they were coming in 2 of august then turn up Friday and wad told not to October. Just very disappointing as now i have to buy two more new packs to try them again as I lost the first lure.
"I'm not even going to mention their name" haha bloody got me good John
Please don't hold back. I think we the public need to see the good and the bad and the ugly.
The time and place for it is coming mate. Stay tuned ;) .

Mate, looking forward to seeing you do reviews on the bass, yellow belly, and cod lures. 👍😉

They’ve got some cool stuff eh Justin
That TT prawn blade looks like a rip of ZX40 from eco gear
That's what I was thinking
There’s a few lures that look like copies. But no one says anything. Who cares. It’s a lure. Everyone’s gonna copy lures.

That’s so good to hear Stephen. Interesting lure and always love to hear the Jackall range is landing here with big fish.
Can’t wait to try some of these 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

2 kids in a candy store 🤙 my vote goes to berkley they are really leading the charge this year for new stuff 😂😂😂
Hahahaaa. Yes sir!! We didn’t wanna leave.
I normally use the tn60 for bass and toga but all the other lures I’m sitting down writing them down😂 but as soon as they come to stores they are mine
My vote goes to tt
Dude. I love your channel. But it’s hardly fair to rip on Berkley in the same video that you commend the ecogear zx40 by TT
It's fishing Bro, supposed to be relaxed.
@@lumberjaxe8910 agreed. What’s your point though dude?

tt are 1 of the worst for it
I am there next year

Daiwa's double clutch 75sr are gonna end some trout down here in Tassie
Good to hear mate. Cheers
Reviews on lures like this are good
That bait junkie prawn is a copy of the Berkly fan tail shrimp but no one talks about that
Mate it’s so rife I can’t keep up. Just sad overall and dirty feels in every case I hear to be honest.
When will you restock the hook replacements for the soft glides
Mate I’m doing everything I can to get em asap. I reckon before the Flatty Classic for sure.
3-4weeks
@@mylurebox sick as, keep up the good videos🤙
You were like a kid in a Candy shop with all those lures as i would have been except for 1 brand not happy.

Can't Evan get your lures at mo tackle 😢 hooked for your whiting lures Oct wtf
Hey Glenn. Not sure I’m across this? Have you got what you need mate?
