Okay, Thanks will probably leave it then, and take great care.

 

Just buy em in 10s like I do

 

here's the link if you wanted to have a look http://grahamhillirishfishing.blogspot.com/2010/05/breakaway-gataride-tip-of-season.html

 

Bought two of these. Bit of a joke if after spending £20 on them you have to modify it like this to stop the bib breaking off is it not?

The bibs fine as long as it doesnt get hit or banged on structure (last way longer in an estuary lol)

Maybe its not broken - could be that these are designed for clear water & not the rough venues we chuck em at (?)

Could be,,,,or are they not bothered because people replace them:sneaky2::sneaky2::shutup:

 

Or just use standard Zonks - the difference in the depth they run at is not much - 50cm according to Megabass. I think if you're fishing in 6-8 ft of water you won't have a problem using the standard, much stronger zonks.

The Gatarides a floater & the standard zonk is a sinker & does run deeper on a steady retreive (the yoro-yoro Gataride is the v. shallow one)

Standard Zonk runs much deeper that 50cm mate

I said the difference between them is about 50cm. Maybe it's a tad more on the yoro-yoro.

The depth for a standard zonk is around a metre - about the same as an xrap.

Well for me I recon the standard Zonk with a mega thin 8 strand braid runs deeper than 1 meter.........
Super lures though arn't they..............

 

I found the best way to keep them intact was not to use them:whistling

I bought one to see what all the hype was about but frankly I'm to scared to bust / loose such an expensive lure by chucking it at the shallow snaggy ground I normally fish!

Don't get me wrong I have used it but mainly on stretches with a bit more depth and less snags, It casts great, give's a nice response on the rod tip on the retrieve and looks to have a good action. Does it do well I'm sure it does but for me not even a bite!

The design just seems destine to break IMO.

Think I'll be sticking to lures half the price that I know catch me plenty at the venues I fish.

Yes, forgot to add my estimate is based on 10lb mono.

Soz - missed the difference bit :marinheir

 

Gataride yoro yoro is 5 to 30cm and zonk is 1 to 2m.

I don't really see the point of the Hi Pitch.

 

I filed one and would never do it again, I found the bib folded if I gave it anything more than a gentle twitch.
Use a Komomo II in shallow rocky/reef areas and keep the Gatarides for cleaner areas
