Hello everyone and welcome back, I've not done one of these posts in a long time, so I wanted to bring it back with something slightly different, I wanted to do a review of some Crazy Fish products. I'm going to run through some of the lure patterns I use, or have used. I have been using Crazy fish lures for a long time now, however as of the last few months I have been solely using them and nothing else.
To start off with I'm going to run through my 3 favourite patterns and then go from there into past captures. These picks will be in no particular order as I would struggle to choose a favourite from them, I have never struggled to catch on any of the 3 and the number of different species I have caught on them mean that I go nowhere with out them!
These are the Nano Minnow, Cruel Leach and Vibro Worm. There is a lot of other patterns available and I use a number of them regularly, these 3 though are my go to lures anywhere and everywhere I fish.
Let's start with the Nano Minnow, one reason I absolutely love this pattern of lure is it's ability to attract fish not overly easy to catch on soft plastic.
One species I always struggled to catch on lures before using the Nano Minnow was always the Goldsinny Wrasse, (above) Since using these though I have managed a fair few of them so it wasn't just a one off lucky type of thing. I have always found though that when it comes to this species the more natural colours are a winner, I have not managed one on anything bright and in their faces.
These are also good for most other species as well such as the Corkwing Wrasse, (below) Skorpion Fish, Ballan Wrasse, Bass and Pollack in my local Quay alone. Countless more species to come when I start travelling more for my fishing I'm sure.
So moving onto the next pattern on the list, the Cruel Leach, this is a worm type pattern that will literally catch you any species, last year (my 1st year of LRF) I managed 12 species in total from my local Quay and had all of them at least once on one of these lures!
Again they are very good for the common species such as the Corkwing (above) but has also seen me land fish I've struggled with on plastic before, I hooked my 1st ever LRF flounder on one of these unfortunately lost it on the surface so can't count it but now its getting colder again I'm sure I will manage one again soon! Another species of Wrasse I struggled with on lures locally was the Ballan, (below) until my 1st trip out using these.
Nothing seems to be able to resist this pattern and again I am really looking forward to heading further afield next year in search of anything and everything I can catch.
I have one last pattern to mention on this post and this is the Vibro Worm, this one is accountable for many captures, it is also the source of many of my strangest takes. I have managed to land some fish on these that aren't much bigger than the lure itself.
This is not something you would think to be to shocking if I was talking about Bass or maybe even if I was fresh water fishing for some Perch, however as you can see below, even Goby aren't shy for these!
So to close out this post I will start off by saying all of these fish were caught in 30 minutes of fishing on the same day, all from the same spot on Poole Quay. Needless to say I have been having some serious fun with these and will continue to do so for a long time to come!
As always thank you for reading and stay tuned to see what Crazy Fish lures throw up for me in the near future!
