stimulate vs Gulp
Submitted by Webby on Thu, 2010-07-22 08:05
Is there much of diffrence between the gulp jerk shads and the stimulate jerk shads? I have been using the gulps for some time with a fair amount of success but am now thinking about trying the stimulate. are they any better or worse? Cheers

Theres a reason they've been on special at just about every store for the last 6 months :( Some stores are giving them away.

No Good..
Agree with Flangies every tackle store has them going cheap for a reason. The slam range are too stiff unrealistic in the water they dont have enough action to consitently catch fish they still work to some degree but there are alot better plastics on the market imo.

agree with above, never had any success with slam....gulp's catch 95% of my shore based capture's but deep water fish may need a placcy with a lot of action, i will be giving some of the big mcarthy's ago when im up at wagoe in a couple of weeks so ill post up the result's
anyone had any success with the mcarthy's from the shore? (sorry for hyjacking webby)

Slams are good...
...when the fish are biting really well and you don't want to burn up all your more expensive placcies, like Gulps. Got onto a bunch of skippy and 50-90cm sambos yesterday and they were hitting everything, so there was no point in breaking out the good gear.

I got into plenty of baldies, trout, snapper etc last week on Slam, but having said that they aren't in my "go to" box, was more just using them up as they'd been sitting dormant for quite some time.
Challenge yourself Webby and try a non scented placcy. The Mcarthy's go more than alright, even on reds.
