25.01.2022 That looks like it would hurt a little.

24.01.2022 This was both greedy and ambitious from these two.

24.01.2022 It can be hard to prioritise living my life or going fishing sometimes.

22.01.2022 If your in NQ, especially Townsville, get on and join the page. Share your catches and grow the diary! https://www.facebook.com//2963/permalink/2977441865666071/

20.01.2022 Does anyone wish tackle stores would offer bulk purchase of soft plastics? Instead of paying $10 for between 5 and 8 SP's, you could pay $20 for a value pack of 20 or more. If that interests you, would you want it to be mixed colours or even mixed sizes?!?!

20.01.2022 A prototype has arrived. Anyone keen to assist in some testing?

19.01.2022 After a day of visitors (and several no shows) all coral trout and fusilier are gone. Still a fair few mullet and plenty of the old colours. $3 each till they are gone, tell your friends

17.01.2022 Putting pen to paper is the first step to making my thoughts a reality. I love this style of lure, eventually I'll have my own design on the market Soft vibes first of course!

16.01.2022 For the people who run singles on vibes, What way do you run them? Like the coral trout or the fusi? If a vibe hit the shelves of your local tackle store with singles, what way would want them rigged ... Personally, id be running singles to reduce the chance of snagging, so facing them both backwards like the coral trout makes sense, but keen to hear opinions

15.01.2022 !RIP! Another big girl bites the dust. Found belly up at Gleesons . .... . . . . See more

15.01.2022 Its been a while but I have an update on the progress of the vibe. The Ten thousand wires have completed production, they will now head off to get welded together to become insanely strong. I decided to get some different eyes more suitable to the colour of the vibe. So the coral trout will have eyes the same as a real trout, as will the strippey snapper. ... The 115mm vibe will come with BKK Raptor-Z size 4 trebles, A few people said they like to use singles, so I will be getting a small quantity of each colour made with Lone Diablo single hooks also.

14.01.2022 Due to non payment, I have these guys available. First in first serve. These are the last ones left.

14.01.2022 Vibes are a month out. Head over and like my Brand page. Once the vibes arrive i'll do a few post on here but eventually this page will close down. https://www.facebook.com/HeckinLures/

12.01.2022 Three points of contact when alcohol is involved

09.01.2022 Left overs from a special order. BKK Raptor-Z trebles in 4/0 and 5/0 Going for $17 a pack till gone.

07.01.2022 ##UPDATE## Sometimes I go fishing with no intention of actually catching a fish (huh?) So it makes it special when I'm doing testing and do hook up ... The hooks from BKK I was planning to run on the new vibe apparently have stopped production, now I have the hard task of picking new ones. It's a frustrating thing because they havent released the hook that is meant to replace it and I have no idea when that is actually going to happen. So as it stands, its either a step up or a step down in strength. A step down is suitable for nice sized fish but not ideal for the monsters we have in australia it also allows for greater action of the lure. A step up and the hooks will be unbreakable but the action will suffer (slightly). I am inclined to aim for worst case scenario (hooking the devil himself). Thoughts?

06.01.2022 For those of you who are following the progress of the new vibes, Production has started on the new internal wire of the vibe, 10000 new wires should be completed in about a months time, then expect another month on top of that for the production of the actual lures themselves. Yes, in order to make the new internal wire so the vibes are bulletproof I had to get ten thousand made.... Fingers crossed these vibes are popular ;) At this stage you can expect the coral trout, fusilier, and mullet (with some changes) to make a return as well as 3 new colours.

03.01.2022 Go like the Brand page if you haven't already! Eventually this page will shut down :) https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=181241870033649&id=103991571092013

02.01.2022 I hate buying a new lure just to throw its hooks straight in the bin

01.01.2022 I have had a lot of amazing responses to the new colours I put out recently. So my question to you is - What do you want to see next?... This is for the 115mm size only, 95mm will come soon. I'm personally not sold on the mullet yet so I may make a few changes, and I certainly have a few thoughts on new colours, for example: A completely black vibe, perfect for making a solid sillouette. A range of "basics" just solid colours like, pink, red, white, yellow. Keen ti hear your thoughts
