rory asked me to post some pics from their great weekend ....just to spoil my day.

rorys friend rolfe got back a couple of weeks ago and bought some new cranks to try out..he iiis so impressed with them he bought back literally a container load of them.

i must say the ones i have used cast straight without tumbling this is a good thing when you are spending a lot of money on good quality rigs to get distance...the fish they are producing are the best i have seen in a long time.

i am a big fan of norman lures maybe because they are priced right and they catch fish...in fact they win compitions...but i have been invited to spend a day on the water using only these lures which rolfe has bought back with him...i use to be a master with a crankbait...but mainly fish the frog nowdays...we are gona take only cranking sticks to the dam and thrash the water with these lures to see if they can produce the type of fish rory and raolfe have been catching since he got back.

this is a pic of one of rolfes good fish he caught using his lures...rolfe is a very passionate all round fisherman.

please note not all the fish where caught on the new cranks only the ones shown in the pictures...the other pics are just all the fellas on the water fishing...the same day.

Rory only uses the new cranks and from this weekend i will also only be taking these cranks on the water with me to see how well they work...what i have seen to date i am expecting some good results...

i used 1 of the lures a couple of weeks ago to to see how they cast and swim and i must say i was impressed...they dont tumble in the air because they are weghted correctly...which gives you much better distance...some of the rapala cranks are also weighted and cast like these ones do.

you can contact rolfe on luremaniacatgmail.com (replace at with @) his website is not up and running yet...but will be soon.

Great fish there.

What is the brand of the lures and where did they come from? States, china...?

Just a quick question, in the pic with the guy holding the 2 beautiful bass on the float tube, where did he keep the first one while he caught the second?

Oh, and if you'd like to mention the name of the dam that will be great too... ;)

we have livewells we use on our kickboats...or stringers...take a boggy board cut a hole i nthe middle and secure a big net underneath...when you put the fish in you pull the draw string and it keep the fish from jumping out...

rory has been given abig box of samples to try...we are hoping to be at inanda on sunday to see if they work as well in the big dams

IF you look at the lure in the fishes mouth you will see it is a different fish, also somewhat larger.
