Tomic TNT......

[Dave S]

I have never seen this around victoria. I see they have a few ways of rigging them. And some good results from CC. Anyone know who carries on South Island? Anyone have personal experience with these? What rigging is preferred?

They never really took off for salmon and I'm not sure they even make them anymore. Have a few and they do work well for bank-style hali fishin on the spreader bar.

Hah, it's like an original jughead.

I believe Oki tackle has something similar also...

Trotac carries the spoons; ask paul or trevor if they can help you out

Derby, what are your thoughts on this style and rigging of bait?

Critter Cove had them for sale this last summer in Nootka. I saw several people using them. One guy in July took a 30 off Camel using one. He and I were talking about them during lunch. I saw him the same afternoon with the slab. Others also used them and seemed to be producing good results. Pretty sure they still produce them or certainly have them in inventory. I tried one. Bit of a pain to get the bait to stay stabilized based on my brief experience.

here is a link from a review from this site from about ten years ago

We fished them pretty good for one summer here in Sooke 12 or 13 years ago with little luck But it is hard to use plastic when bait is working After we broke them all we didn't buy any more (they were pretty thin plastic ) and none of them had the spinner tail maybe that helps LOL
We watched them in the test tank just down the road and they had killer action We thought that they were going to be the new magic bait

Haven't given it try yet.. I'm pretty traditional in my fishing tech. with anchovies, as it work extremely well for me.... so I don't sway to far from that method..

They work for Coho but so does a hook wrapped in tinfoil.
