Rockdale sports and tackle in sydney have the full fish arrow range in stock including the vibes. The propeller jig heads are not in stock yet but will most likely be available later on in the year.

As mentioned they are tougher than squidgies but not a tough as zmans because it's a different type of plastic and they are unscented

Thanks for that info

I think weflick stock these too.

The first fish arrow I used caught me 3-4 flatties and a few bream before i got busted off and lost it. Obviously they are unlike the Z-Man's as they are a different material - but what they lack in quantity will be covered in quality.

The finish on these is amazing and In my personal experience they have lasted me 5+ fish each which is pretty reasonable so I'll continue to use them. I'll report back when I have free time to give these a bash around Moreton Bay and see how many fish I can catch / plastics to give you guys an idea.

They are a fairly rigid plastic but the fish don't seem to be bothered. The foil inside flashes whenever it catches the light and also the flash j shad's have a paddle tail to help you impart more action onto the lure.

Unscented but again the fish don't mind



I think this lil flattie came up around the 50mark, took a 3 inch Flash J unscented on a 1/40th drifted across a rockbar and into deeper water.

Yes Tom, Very happy indeed. That flash J is a 4" with a 2/0 Jighead. Measured 43cm TTF.
I was fishing for Mullys

Got a pack of the 2" yesterday and will give them a go at dusk today land based. They look great and positive the bream flatties and bass will think so too.

Hey mate any chance you'll get 4 and 6" models ? I'd def take some for jacks and barra

Problem is once you go over 3" you get considerable less plastics per pack. For a 5" Pack of fish arrow's I believe you only get three plastics. So it's not really feasible. Not sure exactly how many are in the 4".

Shoot Zim_Man a PM and see if he can work you out a deal.

Got a few fish on these yesterday:





Swallowed a 3" Flash J shad whole!






First plastic lasted 5 fish - got chewed up but i found that made the plastic even softer. It still had no problems holding onto the jighead i only changed because i wanted to see if a different colour flash j would produce bigger fish.

A full range of the flash J's and Flash J Shads are on their way to compleat angler nedlands. they should get them end of this week or early next week.

Also we will soon be getting in the 5 inch shads.





should work a treat on jewies, jacks and barra

I love these lures. I've had lots of success with the 3 inch Flash J Shad, in particular with my local bream population. I prefer the paddle tail model over the jerk bait model, as it appears far more lifelike in the water and the bream must agree, going by my results.

I know Fish Arrow make a 2 inch Flash J Shad (with the paddle tail), but I haven't seen this model here in Australia. I think this lure would be the bee's knees for black bream here on the Surf Coast. Is this model available here? If not, are we going to see these released in Australia in the near future?

Hey Rob, any at CA Box Hill or Ringwood in Melb?

Thanks, Ratbags

[Zim man]

@ Windknot - we do plan on bringing in the 2 inch, hopefully it will be later on this year. All depends on factory production schedules

@Ratbags - both CA stores have accounts with us. Ringwood had a small order delivered but i think they would be sold out by now. Let them know you want the gear and they can get them in no problems.

[Ratbags]

thanks Rob, just called CA Ringwood, no stock. will order some online.

As mentioned in an earlier post, due to alot of requests we have received, we will now start distributing the larger Fish Arrow Flash J Shads in the 5 inch size. its got barra and jacks and big jewies written all over them.

The first order was on special consignement and sent to tacklewarehouse in brissi, one store in noosa and one in the gold coast. More stocks will arrive later this month and other stockists will get them then.

here is a couple phone pics i took of them this arvo




full colour chart is here


RRP is $13. I will try and get a couple videos of them done soon as well.

cheers
