MYDO lures available at Beacon Bay Spar in East London
MYDO Lures are now available in the East London area. The huge and comprehensive tackle section of the Beacon Bay SPAR, headed up by Stuart Wilson are stocking the entire MYDO Luck Shot range.
These purpose built lures are targeted at Kob and Garrick and East London is where it’s at for these prized gamefish.
The MYDO Luck Shot Mini range (#1 and #2) also target shad and other shore and estuary caught fish.
There two types of Luck Shots. The Luck Shot Mini is designed for casting and trolling, whilst the Luck Shots, which are bigger and heavier, are designed to replace expensive swimming plug lures used for trolling, at under half the price.
The Luck Shot sizes 2 through 4, can be hauled at very high trolling speeds and are great for looking for bait whilst dragging Konas. They always hook the fish in the corner of the mouth in the top jaw. And with outsized hooks, pressure can be put on the fish. The Luck Shots do not damage the fish at all, compared to the twin treble arrangement offered by Rapalas and Halcos. With these type of configuration, the trebles almost every time damage the poor fish beyond repair, with a treble in the eye or gills. And they hook in the lower jaw as the hooks hang downwards of the lure. We all know that a fish hooked in the bottom jaw will never survive, either as a live bait, or as a candidate for tag and release. Fish singles. They are also so much easier to get out of the fish’s mouth.
The Luck Shots can also be slow trolled and the different sizes and weights mean you can fish the entire water column – watch out for those angry rockod!
Stuart can be contacted on stuart@spargs.co.za and Beacon Bay Spar is very easily found on the Beacon Bay road leading down to the beach.
