Storm Twitchin Nippers Anyone?????

[Ballnuts]

Hi Guys

I seen the new storm twitchin nippers the other day and they look really good. Has anyone out there used them and if so what are they like.
I fish the Barwon River heaps in VIC and the bream are hard to temp on soft pastics but they good really well on bass yabbies and these new SP's may give me a better chance of getting more bream out of the Barwon if they work

Look forward to your thoughts

DohDohDohDoh yeah!!!!, they look awsome especially for those lil or big rivers that the fish only love local bass yabs. they look really good for some flats wrok with that tail diggin in as u guy maing a big commotion. Fainally somebody has come up wit the detailed bass yab placcy, even to the point of big nipper/small nipper, and orange guts/eggs.......in my opinion easily the best thing to come from storm so far

Working some yabbie flats with that thing should be like shooting fish in a barrel. Only trouble I can forsee is if the hook is already in the plastic. Would prefer to have the option of rigging from the opposite end aswell.

I dont know if my memory is playing tricks on me but a cant recall ever seeing a bass yabbie snap its tail and propell itself backward. Majority of the time I've seen them swimming its forward with the front claw extended. Even when they are fleeing for their life, they swim forwards and down where they head butt the sand and burrow.

I could be way off track here and correct me if I'm wrong.

I've been trying to get my hands on some of these for a while. I reckon they'll be a gun lure on flat dwelling school jews.

Its funning how companies want to make money yet when they have a product that heaps of people want no one can bloody buy them yet all the crap gear is always available

Thats a monster Bream you've got there Bill

Tell me when you get hold of some of these little things. We can take the boat up the Barwon now Iv got the leccy happaning

cheers, Nathan

lawrence, i reckon they go forward too but just by lookin at them all the weight is at the font, and maybe if u put a single hook in em the would be goin along the sand like standing on their head, dunno but i shall order them tonight and see how we go

Nath the bream in that pic is piss poor small from the Tambo. I think it went 25cm. Gutsy stirred me up yesterday to put the pic on as my avatar so I did. I'II wait to see how many people hang DohDohDohDoh on me before I take it off
Definitely keen to get ya boat out on the barwon. Ya should also take it out in the bay near the phosphate pier and wheat stacks there is tones of good bream there. A guy I know fishes there all the time and cleans up towards xmas he hooked what he thought was a monster bream but soon realised he was onto a 6kg snapper that he landed very nice stuff

ahaha Tambo ey! I want to go

I would love to get my boat down in the bay BUT now that little Johny howard has turned paranoid about terrorists so has our local govnt and now banned any boats from getting within 300 metres (i think) of the piers

Theres a few other spots just as good that you can get to though so I want to check them out one time to

cheers, Nathan

I was thinking they could be rigged on a really light head with number 2 hook where you run the hook through the front nipper - push that up onto the keeper and just nick the head with the rest of the hook so they swim with their claw out stretched. Then you can just retrieve by grubbing or a slow steady retrive along the bottom or a slow as possible roller coaster movement though the water column.

Thats how I remember seeing them move

I just had another thought. (That's 2 in one day, I'm on a roll )

Many moons when ago I used to pump nippers to use for bait, we'd get heaps of big whiting and bream following us around and searching the spots we'd pumped for yabbies we'd missed of killed. These plastics would be ideal to fish over the flats after stirring them up like that, they's probably get slammed beofr sinking to the bottom.

Too true Swoffa. When pumping worms down at Nelson in Vic you have to watch where you put your foot so you dont crush the clouds of fish around you.

i just tried to order some then, apperently we have aussie has been trying to get our grezzy lil mits on em for a while, but apperently there not in the country yet.....but on a bright side me, jointed jitterbugs came into tonight. boo yeah watch out cod

[Nath_18]

cheers, Nathan
