In 20 years I've used a lot of different soft plastics! When I first handled my new Sprat 65 lures out of the pack, I was astonished and nearly shocked. They actually "felt" like they would catch fish. A supple, silky smooth, life-like feel and best of all eyes that look fair dinkum real. Sprats have proven extremely robust and as tough (if not TOUGHER) as any plastic I've ever used. I've caught 15 fish or more, on the very same Sprat - many times now. Also, the eyes STAY IN THE LURE, unlike other plastics that can fall apart after hooking just a few fish. Over the last four months I've caught about 160 fish on the Sprat 65 - bream to 45cm and estuary perch to 48cm. A new technique feature I've discovered with the Sprats, is to use an extra light jig head and employ a super slow, lingering retrieve. In fact I've caught dozens of fish now, by "dead-sticking" the Sprat. They look so life-like and at times I leave the lure motionless. Deadly on cranky shut down bream and perch. I suspect the tail is so supple and pliable that it moves while a fish swims in close to inspect it. The best thing for me about the Sprat 65, I'm now super confident its a deadly lure that works. Belief and confidence means everything and now I never go fishing without them. Once again, good work Nordy - another lethal lure into the Hurricane stable.
