Hard time finding jointed Fastracs or big Krocodiles? We got 'em, plus lots of other Baja-specific tackle and lots of info on how and where to use it.

juan told me today that the new mirrolures sent down via guests are really great at hooking yellowtail but the design is flawed. While rapallas have a steel cable attaching all the treble hooks from head to tail....the mirrolure's treble hook unit is screwed into the lure and they pull out even with 20 lb fish...seems to be a design flaw...poor juan lost 3 of the ones sent down today....sheesh.

do you think we should write the company? or just dont buy them.

i'd return them and ask for a different brand or your $ back. it ain't right!!!!

is that why that bull got away?

nah...the escapee was on a brand new cedar plug...rats.

shari, the older mirrolures are solid construction throughout with a steel cable attaching all hooks...sounds like they are gettin' cheap...too bad for them...i have lots of "old" mirrolures for juan, you know that...see you soon...mike

Yo-zuris are the way to go.

kayak kevin caught his nice yellowtail today from his kayak with the purple yo-zuris....hmmm.
look forward to making you smile Michael!

i agree yo-zyri is the way to go. tried one today (see post above) plastic nose and wire front to back. checked my one mirro and the rear hook just unscrews from the lure.

juan says sthe yo-zuris bend at the nose with a big fish and ya can never get them back to the proper position so they dont swim right after that.

grmpb - 9-6-2009 at 06:28 PM

ok then with yo-zuris bending at the nose, and mirros falling apart, and rapala magnuns with the metal nose constantly having to be adjusted the obvious choice would be the rapala x-rap magnum with the plastic nose. BUT the x-raps don't come in purple which is the hot colot right now. the closest color is called purple albino which is white on the sidesaccording to thier web sight.
anybody, any suggestions?

Don't any of your amigas have some sparkly purple nail polish you can borrow ?? :light:

I used to buy single color lures and paint them up to whatever I needed.
A touch of light sandpaper before you paint makes it stick better.
Also works to freshen up old lures.

shucks.....were is sirenita when ya need her...and all her nailpolish!! Lure failures suck when you have the fish of a lifetime on them!
