gday justin , nice vid , i just wanted to no if its possible to catch bream and jewies LAND BASED with these tt swtichblades i never tried them but i would like to giv em ago what do ya recon??

@BigR000 Hey Big R000, you can fish the blades landbased. Great for flathead just lift the rod tip 60cm, let the lure fall to the bottom, lift again and continue the retrieve. Slower smaller hops for bream, or alternatively just allow the lure to sink to the bottom, or count it down to the desired depth and slow wind it back for a wide range of freshwater or saltwater species. Swim it back just above rocks or snaggy bottom to avoid snags and attract fish. Cheers, Justin.

Hey BCF, I really like these blades, I caught a couple of fish on them so far, but one question and this has been confusing me, are these suppsed to vibrate when you twitch them? some tell me yes some tell me no...I see in the video he mentions small twitches but nothing was mentioned about the vibration.

@chopzmasta07 Hey chopzmasta07, a short twitch, or lift of the rod tip of 4 to 6 inches is enough to get them to vibrate. You should feel the vibration through the rod, especially when using braid. Some anglers have had success on bream by just leaving them on the bottom when fishing mussell beds & giving a tiny twitch every now & then to attract the attention of the fish. Bream are opportunistic feeders, as are many species & many strikes will come as the lure sits still on the bottom. Cheers J

the fucking taler bite you off every fucking time i use one of those lures

I cought plenty of bream on that puppy in a comp last weekend, they picked it up off the bottom nearly everytime. Only got a mid 2kg bag

The colour makes a big difference.

Trout like them slow rolled with a few pauses (in dams), similar to one technique used for Bass.

Dont know about yellas, I use jackals and SB's for them.

Hey BCF firstly great video and thanks for posting it. I must say these vibes are far and away my favourite lure now, cleaned up on heaps of Reddies the other day on these after lossing the last of my baltic bobbers I was shocked at how well they work. Do you have any advice on how to jig these correctly and how you would target other freshwater species like golden perch and trout etc, are they effective on these freshwater species. Thanks Tai

good video,im a successful soft plastics fisherman but have struggled/never caught a fish with a blade, and probably given them 500 casts around all types of environments.Your video has shown me why,I have always had an agressive approach to the lift and therefore scaring the fish or removing it from the strikezone,Next time im on the clarence i will definately lighten up on my retrieve.Thanx.

[chopzmasta07]

@bcfaustralia Thanks, next time I go out I'll try that, although today I just kept hopping them along the bottom with very small vibrations and I caught a couple of flathead. I use the strike Pro vibes and the TT vibes and both work really well.

@ak74u2 Hey oguzhan, I like to use a light graphite rod about 7 foot in length. Graphite increases sensitivity and transfers vibration much better giving you more feel when it comes to what your lure is doing, along with increased bite detection. There are some great rods out there such as the Shimano T Curve and Raider, Daiwa Redback and Triforce or Gary Howard Envy, all of which are well worth the money. Combine this with some light braid and fluoro leader and buckle up!! Cheers, Justin
