Those are pencils. a totally different product. \/ia means the SP's with the jig heads, great lures but cheap. you really didn't need anything else. they ha\/e loads of other sandeel lures which are more expensie, metals , needles and \/arious hp's. A shame to see them go

they all ready ha\/e loads of sandeel lures for sale, line thru sandeels, panic prey, surfwalker, seekers but the plain S's were the cheapest and probably the most effecti\/e in my book
 
The original version was fantastic, but then they made the bodies firmer and they were never much cop afterwards. Other manufacturers came along with similar products and in all honesty, I’ll not miss them now.
Ive still got enough old stock for another ten years.

The 100m are my fa\/ourite early lure by a long shot. Superb at night early season and great for bonus sea trout as well. Just as well I ha\/e plenty and as you say there are others that will do the job

Oh right got you now. I've got a few packs of the micro ones for Lerfing.
 
I bought the savage gear gravity stick kit last year , I was unsure at first but I used them in the autumn and I caught
most of my fish on them , so I am looking forward to using them more this year , they are great when its rough and the water is full of weed etc as they are weed less

This 3.9lb wrasse took a fancy to them as well, I thought it was a bass at 1st as I was told this spot was a bass hotspot by a certain member off here that struggles to catch bass ? should of known better ?

I should fish more with stick baits but I don't really ha\/e much confidence in throwing out a lure with little action. Especially at night when most of my fishing is done

I thought one of the comments on that video said a lot. Quote:

Yeah make some new colours (did we need new colours? ) add an upgraded treble (was the original not good enough?) and then add £3 to the price for a lure that costs no more to produce than the original version and ka-ching the tills are singing and the Savage Gear marketing department are patting each other on the back.

Exactly what I thought! The original soft plastic ones were deadly! I blame the lure boys myself pmsl.
