Love the content… I’m not a Jack Fisherman, as too far down the coast, Mid North Coast. Lost a Jack in Yamba on holiday that followed a bait of bread in that I was fishing for Bream. I was just burning it in for my next cast and got a reaction bite. Man never had anything on before anything like it. It turned 180 Degrees in an instant and busted me off instantly. I want to get one one day. I was trying recently to upgrade some of my new lures to put some heavier trebles on some of my hardbodies for my Estuary fishing. I bought several bigger trebles, couple sizes up. Anyway on my Daiwa Double Clutches and my Cranka divers found they screwed the action totally and sent them pretty fast to the bottom. I.e. sank them. So I just put the old ones back on. Anyway bit of an experiment, that didn’t work. Those lures pretty space age, very fine tuned and you cant mess with them. Hope yr going well.
Thanks for the videos John!! Please keep them coming!! What treble combination do you use on your Duo Realis 100DR? I tried a few but always seemed to sit pointing up or down...never got it to sit flat...running your treble combo on my Sumari 90D and yeah, that sits perfectly flat! Thanks for the tips mate!! Getting sooooo keen for this jack season!! Cheers
Cheers Ramon. I run a heavier rear treble like a BKK size 4 I think it is and either the stock front treble or a size 6 2x Owner. Mine tend to sit slightly forward too because of the rolling balls. Either way though, they’re an awesome lure
Appreciate the time and effort you put into your vids, they’re a great resource for us less experienced fishos. A rod roundup would be great too some day. Keep up the great work!
Got to get my confidence back and attack these fish this season on the kayak. Many thanks for all the tips and tricks you have shown many of us on here. Hope to see you on the water someday.
Thanks for the great content! It's awesome to see what the Aussies are throwing. I we have some great Jack fishing (or Snapper as we call em) here in SA and it's really great to learn about new techniques and tackle and what works best. Keep it up!
Great content mate . Really love hearing your tips on estuary fishing, the enthusiasm is addicting, just makes me want to get out there, Think I’m chucking a sticky tomorrow 😀. I have caught around 100 fish the last 6 weeks ,heaps of Jew ,flatty, tailor ,big GT’s but not one jack this year.
That’s damn good going mate!! Cheers for tuning in to my channel as always. Good to hear your getting keen for some more flicking ;) nothing like a day away to soothe the work life hahah
Yeah mate. They’re the goods for sure. The big one has saved me and my brothers from donuts too many times to count. I love trying new and different stuff a lot though so it’s always with me but not the first on the line most of the time. The smaller one in those tea tree creeks is also the goods I reckon.
from what i have learn from chasing jacks in my place, jacks dont chase bait as much. so using a slow speed reel helps a lot as jacks takes the baits on the pause
@@mylurebox i would it too if theres fish. in malaysia fish is hunted using net so theres not much jacks n barra in our river. plus jacks are delicious
It’s a Strudwick Hardbodz 5’6 8-10kg heavy action. It’s about 15 years outa stocking though mate. Still looking for a blank and butt just like em though so I’ve persisted with the 3 I bought back then.

Fiji Islander I leaned a lot thanks for the good tips and information. Tight lines and God Bless
One of the more informative fishing for MJ’s using lures. Thanks for sharing mate 👍
Another great Lure review and, coupled with your Tips, is a real bonus for Mangrove Jack fisherpeople. Thanks for sharing.

Keep it up!
Thanks Phill ;) it’s an awesome time of year to get out into it all
Awesome, great content straight to the point no bullshit. Very informative, giving us amateurs half a chance of getting some Jacks.
Haha. Cheers man. Chasing Jacks is a crazy game eh. So much anticipation this time of year
Loved the video mate, quick question I have a bait caster already and I wanna buy a spin rod witch rod would you recommend for me for jacks
I love the advice you give on different gear for the beginner like myself to the seasoned fisho, lovin the vids mate keep up the great work 👍 🎣
hey mate, which size in the smith cherry bloods would you say is better for jacks? and is floating/suspending a big deal when chasing jacks? cheers
Hey bro. I love suspending in the deeper 90mm versions.

Love your work mate, keep it up 🤙
Thanks Dan ;)
Awesome video mate love it and super keen to get amongst the jacks. What model was the first 2 lures?
Cheers mate ;) the first 2 were Tiemco Sumari 90D and a Smith Cherry Blood. Both are exceptional IMO
The smiths cherry blood in that colour is so good. Do you upgrade the trebles?
Yeah mate. Size 6 2x owners are the go.
Do you ever use the old gold bomber mate for you jacks
Yeah mate. They’re the goods for sure. The big one has saved me and my brothers from donuts too many times to count. I love trying new and different stuff a lot though so it’s always with me but not the first on the line most of the time. The smaller one in those tea tree creeks is also the goods I reckon.

Interesting mate ;) I love the casting lures game. It’s hard going but lots of fun
@@mylurebox i would it too if theres fish. in malaysia fish is hunted using net so theres not much jacks n barra in our river. plus jacks are delicious
smith cherry blood and duo realis are also not finicky about how you attached them, even works fine with big size 3 mustad fastach snaps.
Definitely rate lures made well enough to cop the upgrade or changes eh. They’re good gear
Duo Realis 100DR which colour you prefer?What about white colour?
I really like the Ayu colour with the dark back chrome side and yellow spot near the gill
hey lov your video can u show us how u tie the lures on and also the hooks in deep for what size lures i feel like im back at school ha ha
I’ll get some of that going in the coming weeks mate
Another good one!
🙌 making me keen
Yeeeaaahh brussy!! I’m feeling the kick for em more this year than the last. Keen as ;)
Cant wait mang!!!! 💯👊
Cheers for the vid
Good to have you tuning in mate ;)
