Fish Arrow Flash-J 3" plastic

[spoonta66]

Anybody tried these beautiful looking little plastics? Would be a killer unweighted plastic for almost anything.

[Sav02]

havent used this model, have used quite a few of there swimbaits hard and soft though, regarded as some of the best swimbaits on the market

[sammy]

they are mad i want some

[The G factor]

ive seen a video of them in action, and I think it was because of the large jighead they were using, but they were rolling on the retrieve, not the best promotional video.

That said, I think they were just trying to show the action of the tail with constant short twitches more than anything. Either way the shape, colour range, and sizes are bloody perfect. Awesome hardyhead imitation

Colour 03 & 04 Might just be the best looking plastic ive seen that would have half a chance of fooling the infamous barwon esturary bream.

A perfect representation of local mullet!!!!

So where do i get em??

Got to love the attention to detail in some of the Japanese plastics.

I'd love to get my hands on some of those, only problem would be getting them here. Apparently Australian Customs are very strict with these things, never tried importing plastics myself, but I have heard of people having their plastics confiscated, then they have to get a statement from the maker of the soft plastic stating that the product contains no animal derived stuff. Anybody know how to get some over here?

Cheers,

Yum! They do look good! Remind me a bit of the OSP Mylar Minnow too: http://www.o-s-p.net/jp/products/mylarminnow/index.html

I have never had any trouble with bringing plastics over from both USA and Japan.I guess its the scents that customs pic up on but i maybe wrong.

Customs opened on of my imports of plastics.
lucky i had the matching paperwork(MSDS) from the seller inside
otherwise they go up in smoke.

Luck of the draw I think... dad had some scented plastics sent from Cabelas a little while back and they got through customs without a problem (which surprised me)

Declaration can't be from the seller it has to be from the manufacturer so suprised they let them through.

If in doubt do the right thing and don't bring them in because you may be introducing a bio hazard without knowing it and a fair chance they'll be found and destroyed anyway.

Yes you are correct Mark. I worded that wrong.
Yes it was the manufacturers MSDS which meet AUS standards.
And i did back ground that they where not a bio hazzard to AUS waterways.

Im guessing its supposed to roll, to emphasise the flash so that it flashes from all angles, same principle with how flat sided hardbody minnows work. im guessing its also why they rigged it by only hooking it through the head part with the jighead, so the action is unhindered when compared to rigging it normally.
