Hi all, this is my first post.
I was wondering if anyone has tried Trima Lures - I managed to get my hands on the vlei kurper, and 3 spot 4" stiks and 5" minnows. Tried them at Emmarentia and they work a treat (especially the stiks). I heard that they are only producing a limited number of packets each month. The thing I think is brilliant is that they mimic our own bait fish and the bass haven’t been exposed to them before – Local is lekker!! :fswim

Hi J,
Being new to the forum, I don't know if there are problems with posting web sites, guess this is one way to learn!
Check out http:

They've got color photos...

Does any one know where we can get them in in Centurion. The Vlei and Redbreasted moulds look awesome.

Hi Padda man,
I have seen them at Specialist, they have quite a few but didnt really look at them, the price kinda scared me off. But the do look and feel the business just might require a slightly more aggresive strike to set the hook.

I think they're over priced at R23 a bait, rather take a Zoom Super Fluke or Gary Yamamoto Senko and a some Zoom Dye pens, been doing this for years, don't think the colour make that big a difference, a bass will eat anything that's dropped before it.

Just my view on the Trima range

They're NOT cheap - hopefully we will see some healthy competition - if we can get good local manufacturers and a decent price point it'll boost the future of the sport in this country.

Schollie they are made locally and hand poured which make them so expensive. Most of the brand name lures are pressure moulded that can produce large volumes. But he quality is not that good. These lures are so expensive because of the detail on each of them. But R90 a pack is still steep. You are right that some copettion will lower the price.

there's only problem, the South African Bass fisherman is very brand specific, most competitive anglers only use Zoom and Gary Yamamoto as they have been proven the best over many hours on the water, I only fish Gary Yamamoto and then Zoom Super Flukes, and will not try any other bait on the market, as these two brands have got my livewells full on many outings

I had a look and western accessories in Boksburg stocks them but at over a R100 a pack i would rather stick to strike king

Competition, hmmmmm.... let me see, what about when you visit these lures' site and you go on the distribution of the idividual species and on top you get 2 c the pic of the specific kurper species, no what if you could get these pictures into a soft bait? how much would they be worth?

I went to Angling Africa yesterday and to honest the baits they had there did not by any means blow my socks off. I think in most cases the same effect and colours can be very closely matched with spike pens.

I aslo do no see the pont is spending so much money on plastics. If you can get something that only needs a little modification at less than half of what these guys are charging. I do support proudly SA but my own finanses comes first. I would much rather modify a baby bass or a watermenlon gold fluke with a spike pen.

If the prices where a little lower I would however be a supporter.
