Just placed the order through Japan Tackle and it's being shipped today. Will spool 5lbs Sunline FC Shooter and see how it goes. It's too seductive to not buy it :mrgreen:

Re: A Couple Unique Lures

That's a Yozuri Slavko Bug, it even comes in the popper design. Very effective lure for peacock bass and jungle perch.

Good Day, Not sure if any forummers/users had this problem.

Antares 2012

Hi guys,
