Whew - i'ts going to be difficult..... not having to go and work at CM every morning..... life gets tough now. YOU are a GUIDE!!!! No Pressure.......

At a prestigious Lodge in Angola - Chris, good on you!!! Well done young man! And thanks for correcting me for incorrect fish ID (yes, I remember - the Rosy Jobfish saga) - all that time studying at Uni, and the passion for fishing has paid off!

Blessings from Jigstar Africa, some of those Heru Darkstar Lures everyone perves at? Yup - a little "stash" is on its way to you. In fact the lures that Andre asked for..... somehow got diverted..... AD - 1, Nepps - 0

They are on their way to you in the morning.

Well done - we expect to see great things from you in the future.

All the best: Linda, Andre and Roy.

Big THUMBS UP to you AD - Cheers, RB

RB, Nepps and Linda, from me to you, a very big thank you for your support! Those Heru Darkstar's will surely be the jewels of my collection

Nepps - my apologies for intercepting your lures, wasnt on purpose::hippy1: I can assure you they will be put to very good use:fswim

Roy, here's a nice pic of a rosy jobfish I got off facebook... for old time's sake ;) (that said, I really hope I didnt come off sounding like a smarty-pants the first time)

Ahh, Chris correction is a wonderful thing. Particularly when you LEARN from it.

You are less than half my age - and you taught me something. Thanks for that - I believe that life is an ongoing process of learning. Age is a number, learning is a process. 

Maybe one day I will have the chance to reciprocate - and maybe share something that you don't know....maybe?

Anyway - I was jesting, you haven't done Andre in..... well only a little. He has more lures than any normal person should have anyway - so no worries. Tee hee hee..

One thing. Go and use those lures in anger, and when the fish comes to the boat - treat him with respect. Better still, as a guide.... teach others .... your clients...teach them that belief. And then all will be good.

I quickly rigged the wahoo 150 with an 8/0 VMC siwash at the back and baker rigged 2x6/0's on the belly. I'll be fishing it with an 8000 so that terminal tackle should hold up fine..

more pics...

Those cuberas lures are great on cubera, rig them with assist hook from the front of the lure and single inline on the back, most of the strikes of cuberas will happen on the front assist (also good on Jack Crevalle that you will find lot's of times on the breakers)

Good one AD - I think you are pretty sorted Bro!

I know that Andre, Mark and a bunch of the guys are going to shoot me down here..... but this is from PERSONAL experience - I have the good GT pictures to prove my theory though. (Jack Crevalle are GT's kissing-cousins, and we have nailed them big-time in Costa Rica last year same way!!!!).

Most of your hook-ups will be on the belly hooks. Guaranteed.

If I were you, I would baker rig the 8/0's on the belly of the Wahoo 150, and have the 6/0 as a tail "stinger". Hook facing up of course.... almost treat it as a "Reserve" in case the fish doesn't get hookset on the belly hooks..... and the tail hook will set somewhere around the face of the fish...... generally NOT in the mouth.

This works for me, and I swear by it......

OK guys, please don't shoot me down too hard!!! Tee hee hee

Stoked the lures reached you Chris..Wish you very well in using them mate, and look forward to seeing the pics!

Roy - Defintely not gonna shoot you down bud, you know I rig Bakers on the belly or Assists on the head as per Fedu's description, because so many predatory fish tend to hit the head of the lure rather than from behind... Defintely the way to go, although I only fish Assists on the head of Poppers... seems to mess with the action of stickbaits, so Baker on the bellet, single on the tail is the way to go...

One thing I would do though is go with bigger hooks on the belly... the wahoo 150 is a BIG lure, I'd look at minimaum 11/0's personally, with an 11/0 on the tail as well...

Chris you may want to look at shorter shank hooks for the Belly mate.. its scary the smount of pressure a Crevalle or Cubera or Tarpon can put on a hook, so the short shank hooks offer less leverage for the fish...

Either way buddy, you are gonna be fishing an awesome fishery, with PLENTY of time on the water testing, and I have no doubt that with your skills and enquiring mind, you will be testing what works best FOR YOU, in YOUR conditions, and that is the most important thing... different conditions/areas/fish require different approaches, not just to techniques of fishing a lure, but also to rigging as well...

As Roy mentioned, in his experience, and the conditions at Lazarus, his described set up worked the best for him and the others through testing and trail and error, and its a damn good place to start.... but don't be shy to change it up if you need... you may come up with something none of us have truied or thought of, that works even better...

Good luck buddy, looking forward to the pics!!
