Ecogear CX40 HS and PX55f Now in Stock

Arriving in this week is some exciting new products from Ecogear. These are the CX40 HS and the PX55f. The CX40 HS is the highly anticipated fusion between the popular SX and CK series, bringing everything that was great about both lures into one amazing design. These lures are beautifully designed, well balanced and you can cast them a mile. They have a tight wobble coupled with twitches and pauses make this lure deadly in the water. You can see a good look of the action in the video we have done for them. These are going to be dynamite on Bream and Flathead, but we are most excited about how well these will perform in creek and stream Bass fishing, with a tight action and unique internal rattles we can see these are going to go a long way to catching a lot of bass for us in the next 12 months and beyond.

The PX55f is the older brother of the PX45f, with the new model being a little heavier and 10mm longer. This upgrade to the size and weight addresses plenty of applications that just couldn't be achieved with the 45mm version. For example the PX55f will allow you to throw longer casts perfect for working large patches of water across sand flats, whereas the 45mm across sand flats is just not ideal especially if the wind kicks up. The other major application of the larger model is chasing Bass, Saratoga and Mangrove Jacks, these are species that you can struggle to tempt with smaller offerings. The size and weight means the PX55f makes more of an impact across the surface attracting these highly territorial and aggressive fish to both notice the larger lure and to strike with aggresion.

All the same species that the 45mm was great for will also love the 55mm version, with the PX45f still being a standout for flicking from a boat around mangroves, rock walls, racks and other structure for bream, whiting and trevally.

So without overloading you on information you can check out both products on our homepage at www.saiko.com.au.

And here are some pictures of both products and short video of the CX40 HS for you to enjoy. For more detailed images please visit the store.

Cranka Lures In Stock

Well we have had a lot of announcements this week, but one we have been really excited about is the addition to the store of products from Australian company Cranka Lures. We will be stocking both lures in their current range from 2010, these are the Cranka Shad and the Cranka Vibe. Both are stunningly beautiful lures and after swimming them in our test tanks it's obvious the attention to detail that has been put into each creation.

They have already been popular on the tournament scene, but we think 2011 is when these will really start to take off with both recreational anglers and tournament anglers alike. For us, well we will be using them to chase bream and skinny water bass this summer and can't wait to get out and give them a flick around.

So here is a few links to wet your appetite.

You can see them in the store here: Cranka Lures

And here are a few pics of the colour range and some video footage of the shad for you to enjoy.

Threadybusters Now In Stock @ Saiko Tackle

We have been sitting patiently on this for a while, but finally we are proud to announce that we have Threadybuster lures in stock. We have both the 60mm and 70mm versions in a range of colours, and we are expecting more stock to come in very soon. Because of our limited supply you will have to get in early to grab this first round available. You can see them here Threadybusters.

If your unfamiliar with the Threadybuster, well here are some quick facts:

• They are made here in Australia to target Australian species
• They are a soft vibe lure - so a mix of what is great about metal blades with the softness of a soft plastic (don't let that fool you though the material is very tough)
• They have an additive scent to attract fish to strike
• If you plan on targeting mulloway (jewfish), threadfin, barra, cod and other large species then this is a fantastic lure

We are itching to get the 60mm out to target some bass and flathead. I have included a few pictures as well for you to enjoy as well as the entire colour range.

Underwater Lure Demonstrations

Saiko Tackle is proud to announce that we have finished our first round of underwater video demonstrations for the majority of the products in the store. It was a tedious process but we are hoping that our customers enjoy seeing what the lure will look like moving through the water.

Currently we have video footage of:

• Pontoon 21 Crackjacks
• Nories Minnows
• Ecogear Blades
• Damiki Soft Plastics, Blades and Hard bodies

Obviously many of these behave differently depending upon their applications whether you like to pause and twitch diving lures or lift and drop blades and hop soft plastics. But the footage will allow you to see what it will look like under constant motion.

Being our first round of video footage we know there is room for improvement and we will be updating these over time as new stock comes in and as the production process improves so keep checking back via our facebook page, you tube channel  or news feed on the website.

For the moment the videos are best viewed in 480p and 720p HD. Well with all the being said here are a few links so you can check them out.
