Happy Birthday Chris

For a good Mate and long time friend. These two lures are made from a log at our Bass hole. I even think we both have tripped over this log.

Bass lures from the Bass hole

RAW AT IS BEST

Fizzing Rain

Last Friday took the New Fizz for a run. It was bucketing down but still found a liking

Marbled Squids

After fishing the rocks last week, its was clear that I need to add a sinking Stickbait. So after many hrs in the cave I tweaked the 80g floating stickbait and came up with a 160mm 100g sinking stickbait. And no I didn't just add weight. New timber was used which is painful as its so hard to cut and shape

160mm 100g Sinking Stickbait

Field testing

Well someone has to do it so it might as well be me.

Testing the Marbled Mackerel (see below for info)
Switched back to 3/0 Owners as I found the stick swam better rigged with them. In doing so I pulled the hooks on 4 fish before this one was landed.

This is only a Rat but its the intended species. It can be only up hill from here.

Marbled Mackerel

Pushing the skills with this one. Took a few good will some total re-builds but she has ended SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Spec
160mm Long
110g fully rigged
1.6mm SS through wire
5/0 NT Power swivel
10/0 Fisherman
Fisherman rings

Something to keep your eye on

Heres a sneak peak at some new workings. As was seen in the RAW at its best post, the tweaked walker is ready.

Plus last season there was a sneak peak at the Nipple, well the Nipple has also had some tweaking and some testing will soon be done,

Keeps your eyes on here or Facebook to kept up to date.

Special Order

Well for me anyway,

The Guys at Shimano Australia have asked for some Bass Baits. Hope they enjoy them and fish them.

RAW at its best

Had a call from good mate Chris to see if I was in for a Bass fish. "yep, but ill have to be late. Ill put the kids to bed, give the wife a good bye kiss and ill meet you there"
A quick re rig only to find out that Ive got no lures ready. A few night before I lost 7 lures to the tree gods who now have a Christmas tree with Nutterjuck lures hanging from it.

So RAW it is. Cut, and screw, thats all I had time for. No paint and no glue, just RAW

This was a good chance to also test a new idea out. Assist hook (the one used for jigging) rigged surface walker. Well to cut a long story and theory short lets just say ITS A WINNER. Just need to tweak the lure as its funny how much the action changes without hooks and rings. Assist hooks have no weight in them.  Anyway watch this spot or our Facebook page to see how things progress.

Marbled Divers

Some Marbled divers that will be mixing it at Windamere NSW, the home of BIG Yellas

Body- 45mm
Overall- 80mm
Weight- 10g

The cave has been rumbling

Can only mean one thing. Yep more lures soon to be released

FAT PIG

Last night was the night of the Fat Pig. Good Mate Chris got detonated by a beast. This is the second time he has tied on a NJ Walker. This may shock some as we fish heaps together but we alway try and have a 'LURE OFF' thingy. Plus its good to see if the NJ's hold there only against some well know Baits. The first time Chris used a Walker ended in tears, for him anyway. He got dusted in a big way by a Bass that showed no love for him or his tackle.

Last night it took two cranks of the handle on his first cast to pull this FAT PIG

I was lucky to hold my own latter in the night but nothing compared to Chris's fish. These two also like the Walker.

 

Testing a new proto type

Been playing around with a diver design for the last few weeks (see above)

BUT this wakebait is a byproduct from the divers design.

1st cast was RRRRRRRRRRRR, not the action I was looking for. 3 cast latter this Pig jumped all over it. Sometimes what we think is a good/bad action is not what the Bass think. Still going to do some tweaking.

Nutterjuck first 50cm Bass

The other night the Facebook page stated that

'Nutterjuck rule'

This got my attention. A few hrs latter the pics told the story. Rob Barrett pinned the first trophy Bass on a Nutterjuck Wake Bait. In fact Rob only got his lures a few hours earlier and was out testing them to see what the action was like. 8 fish latter and a cracker on the last cast for the night. What a way to test a new lure.

Heres some pics, Thanks Rob for the feedback and pics.

50cm of pure South Coast Auss Bass

Marbled

Been playing around with some marbling of stick baits. Loving the look you get as its a lucky dip on what the finished product will be like. Gives the lure that unique/individual look.

First real fish for the season

It was not text book condition, 40km + wind, rain on the hills and a low pressure system that should of shut down the fish. The Black winged walker did the trick. Need to get back for some more

The last pic looks like Im hooked, well I am hooked. Hooked on topwater luring for Bass. SWEEEEEEEEEET

New Season new fish

This season has been tough on the local rivers. Many punters fishing but not many fish. Since the 1st Sept only a hand full of fish and hear some pics of the best.

New workings

Over the last few weeks Ive been playing around with some new designs for this upcoming Bass season

Just a sneak peak

Jewfish lures

With the Australian Bass season closed I have moved the focus to making Jewfish lures. These have been designed for casting from the ocean rock or walls. They both are 150mm long and weigh 60g (bibbed) and 45g for the other. They don't have names as of yet but we will see. Hope you enjoy

New Bass Baits

Breaking news,

Nutterjuck has released a new Bass Bait (WALKER) and two new colour combos. The Walker will mix it up with the Joined Walker to other anglers two sizes for the Walker style of lure. All walker now come with the new ally bib that gives off the sound that Bass just love. You have seen the pics over the testing period now check the lures out.

New colours to the range are Black Scale and Old Mate (this lure will be a hit with those that aren't getting any younger)

Wake Bait- 45mm 9g
Walker- 45mm (body) 55mm overall length, 7g
Joined Walker 70mm (body) 80mm overall length, 11g

Footballs

The other night we got out to do some testing of a new walker and to run the new tweaked walker. Both lures were the bomb on a new waterway. The Bass that we encountered were FOOTBALLS.

We hope to have the new lures ready for release latter this week. Keep your eyes out
