New Products this week at Saiko Tackle

With the beautiful Spring weather of late and Summer just around the corner we have been very busy over the last few weeks adding new product for anglers to enjoy over the warmer months. We have 3 new additions to the store this week from 3 different brands.

First up is the 2 inch Damiki Air Craws. We are big fans of the Monster Mikis, and when we found out that a similar type of soft plastic was on it's way we were very excited. After seeing them in the flesh we know that these are going to be just as, if not more deadly then the Monster Mikis of Bream and Bass. The hollow claws mean slower sink rates and longer periods of time in the strike zone. Coupled with 10 great colours and 10 per pack there probably isn't a better value for money product in our store at the moment. You can see the Air Craws here: Damiki Air Craw

The second new product in this week is the Pontoon 21 Crackjack 38mm Deep Divers in the Tiger colour range. We now have 9 colours in this 30mm Deep Diving lure including the new Tiger range of colours. The new colour range is spectacular and we can't wait to use these over the Summer chasing Bream, Bass and Flathead. At a diving depth of 1-1.4m they are perfect to work on the flats, around drop offs and parallel to structure. You can check out the new colour range here: Pontoon 21 Tigers.

Finally we have a brand new range of jig heads from Ecogear in stock. The Skip In The Shade jig heads are an extremely popular jig head models in Japan. They have been brought to Australian shores for use with the brand new Ecogear Aqua Bream Prawns. And they match perfectly with the bream prawns. The main reason for this is the bait keeper on the jig heads. This means that your soft plastic won't slip and slide of the plastic when it's struck halfheartedly by a fish, meaning less wasted or torn plastics and more solid hook ups with fish. The design also allows these to be skipped into and underneath overhanging structure where other jig heads won't venture. We will be stocking up our own boxes with these and we know your going to love them too. You can see the range here: Ecogear Jig Heads.

Strike Tigers - Tasmanian Trout Frogs have arrived.

Well after a fair few session out testing the Strike Tiger Frogs range we are proud to announce that Tasmanian Trout Frogs have finally hit the shelves at Saiko Tackle. These are one of those rare lures that took a great concept from frogging for larger species of fish and adapted to suit the bread a butter species a lot of us fish for. It must be something in the water down there in Tassie that has given us so many great lure companies over the last couple of years. I must say as an angler I appreciate the tim, effort and passion guys like Michal from Strike Tiger puts into his craft. It really shows.

Like the name suggests these Frogs are used by Tassie anglers already with great success, i can only imagine the sensation of a trout clipping one of these little frogs of the surface. We have decided to bring them a little further north because we know that these are going to be a great addition to our own tacklebox over the summer fishing for species such as Bream and Bass. Where we think these will really take off is with Saratoga anglers as you can work these frogs both across the surface and sub surface and rigged weedless you can drag them through the lily pads like no other lure i have seen.

I recently got out to chase some Toga on these and whilst i didn't come home with the goods i was extremely impressed with how well these cast and how deep into the lily pads you can work them. I was able to fish areas i would only dream about before, and i know this summer that i have a huge advantage when i head out chasing saratoga.

For Bass anglers well it doesn't get much better then this. I know for myself i would look at all the huge frogs on the walls of tackle stores and wondered when there would be a model that i could use for Bass and Bream. Well finally that time has arrived, and if your planning a trip to chase some Bass on surface then make sure you grab yourself a pack of these soft plastics.

These do require certain rigging techniques and hooks to match. We use the Damiki Viper wide gap size 1 hooks and can't fault them. These hooks when rigged texas style allow the perfect balance meaning you can high stick the Frog and work it along the surface with great ease.

If your interested you can check them out @ Saiko Tackle.

Here are a few pics to wet your appetite as well.
