Pontoon 21 55mm Gagagoons, 48mm Crackjacks and Famell Spinning Fluoro now in stock

Firstly we hope all of our customers had a wonderful Easter Break. I am sure 5 days away from work meant that many of you got to spend some much deserved time out on the water. We were fortunate enough to enjoy a few short sessions targeting Bass and Bream with mixed success, but any day out fishing is better then a day at work....unless you have a TV fishing show and get to do both.

Anyhow, we have some new announcements this week that we know some of our customers have been looking forward too. Firstly we have 2 new products from Pontoon 21, these are the 55mm Gagagoons and the 48mm Crackjack in Limited Edition colours.

You can see the colour charts for both new models below.

I had a chance to swim the Gagagoons earlier today and......WOW what a great little lure. You can see the write up on the product pages but i may as well state it here as well that the Gagagoon is super versatile and the sink rate is perfect, i can just picture wafting past a Big Bass lurking in cover, or darting of the bottom in front of a big Flathead. You can check them out here: Gagagoons @ Saiko Tackle.

We have the Gagagoons in all 4 colours in stock.

The Crackjacks are excellent as well, essentially its a size upgrade from the 38mm model last year but with greater size comes increased casting distance. We have the shallow running model in stock, which can still get down to just over 1m if you work it down with your rod. The biggest change is that we have the in 7 Limited Edition colours so you will have to be quick to get your hands on them. You can check them out here: Crackjacks @ Saiko Tackle.

Secondly, new to Saiko Tackle is the Famell Spinning Fluoro. Made famous by Shaun Clancy (Winner of the 2010 Daiwa ABT Grand Final), this spinning fluorocarbon is used by anglers all over the country when running a second setup for fluoro straight through. Aside from the fact that you don't have to retie leaders this line stands out when the fish are being super finicky, or the water is super clear and your braid might be spooking them. Because Fluoro sinks you can fish this line with a fast sink rate with Blades, Stickbaits and Soft Plastics. You can check them out in store here: Famell Spinning Fluoro @ Saiko Tackle.

Famell Spinning Fluorocarbon by Yamatoyo now in stock.

Aside from all the new products we also have been restocked in Nories Laydown Minnows, Sebile Splashers and Cranksters, Pontoon 21 Suspendots and some leader lines from Yamatoyo.

New Pontoon 21 Lures coming soon to Saiko Tackle

Coming soon to Saiko Tackle are some new products from Pontoon 21. First up is the much anticipated GagaGoon 55mm sinking stickbait. They will come in 4 great colours, and you can fish them at a range of depths. The size and sinking nature is perfect for estuary species like Bream and Bass where you sometimes have to search the water column for fish. It's a must have tool in the tacklebox if you love your hard body lure fishing.

Some features of the GagaGoon include:

• PBD (Prism Body Design). Having excellent action, such body’s shape is well-visible under any angle of view.
• GE (Gaga Eyes). Specially made eyes create the impression that GagaGoon constantly looks on you (or target fish) from any position – this provokes predator for attack not less than action of lure
• KKBS (Koto-Koto Balanced System). Original balanced system consists of 2 balls with different density values, which move from side to side very slightly, just a few millimeters so Gaga Goon “shakes” during retrieving as well as during pauses. GagaGoon sinks horizontally, with the whole body giving a slight shaking whilst creating  low-frequency sounds, that’s gets predator fishes attention well before the retrieve has begun.
• Aerolip. The special lip’s construction together with all features above provides the most realistic effect of a live fish,  whilst keeping a high level of castability

And for your enjoyment the Searing Tackle team has compiled a short video of the GagaGoons for you to enjoy.

 

In addition we will have some very limited edition Pontoon 21 Crackjacks on offer. These are the 48mm shallow running variety. We have them in 7 limited edition colours so you will have to be very quick to get your hands on some of these. We will have all the details of them when they arrive in stock, but here is a quick snapshot of the colour range.

A quick flick.

Last weekend i had the opporunity to head out with my brother James to trap some native fish for his fish tanks. Aside from being fishing junkies my brothers have always kept native fish and like fishing when your trapping native fish, half the fun is getting out and tracking them down.

This led to us investigating a spot where we had been told there were some native fish that my brother was trying to get for his tank. I thought i should bring a rod just in case, you never know what might be lurking in the water.

So off we went on a glorious Sunday afternoon, we arrived around 2:00pm there wasn't a person in sight and the trapping began. Whilst my brother sat patiently i tossed a a few lures around, and within 20 minutes i had landed 3 nice Bass just sitting on the edge of some fast flowing water.

I was over the moon at this point, i wasn't expecting to catch anything so to land 3 bass in the late 20's to mid 30's was awesome. We only had a short time so it thought i would explore some other spots and i came up with 2 more beautiful Australian Bass. One of them lucky enough to escape a shot form my camera, as i lost him at the bank while i was rummaging through my bag.

All in all it was a short session, in some new water with plenty of surprises. I got to throw plenty of my favourite lures and they all landed fish. My brother James however lucked out with 0 natives for his tank. But there is always next time.

The lures that did the damage were Damiki Vautlt's, Nories Laydown Minnows and the Cranka Cranks.

The video your about to watch was one of the bigger Bass we got on a Cranka Crank, we had lured him in some shallow water and were able to get a quick 1 minute of the final part of the fight.
