Those tremors arnt built very tough. Koolabung make good lures and replacement bibs that are easy to change.

@@Leighmitchell001 those topwater bites are awesome and look rather addictive I wonder how those lures would work on other species

Yea it’s definitely the most addictive way to fish for them. I often think the same about them surface lures

Great vid Thankyou. Can I pls ask about what camera you use, what batteries you use.

Hey mate I really like them for rivers particularly if there is good flow. I only use them with the paddler bib. As far as paddlers go you can run them the faster without them blowing out compared to other paddlers and I like to fish fast especially when river flow is fast and your casting between snags. Also they are one of the best casting lures on the market and go far and straight landing with fouling up less than most other surface paddlers which is important not all lures cast acutely and zig zag through the air. I also like that replacement bibs are easy to buy and attach because it doesn’t matter what paddler you use if you use it enough you will break it. And of course they get bites and having confidence in what your using is massive especially cod fishing. There a things that arnt my favourite about them. The hooks are really good but the split rings are average and straighten a bit on most my bigger fish. I actually don’t like the light and vibration thing as is gets stuck on sometimes and gives me the shits with the noise in the boat. I prefer them once they’re flat. Obviously they are expensive (I’m not sponsored in away way from them and have to by my own) at $100 a pop. In saying that if I’m going to spend a whole day casting a lure I’d rather have the one I want tied on as I think my day is worth more than the $100 to me. Most the ones I’ve totally broke were cast hard into trees so that was my fault. I’ve had one other than the one in this video break from “nothing” and it snapped its tow eyelet off but that was after like a years use and had already caught me a metery in the past so it was more so used to death. In all I will continue to use them I have confidence in them and think they are a pretty decent product. Thanks

First of hear that happen but u never no ballista might replace that

Yea mate not to fussed. These things happen when you fish a lot.

Have you a colour preference in your experiences Leigh.

Usually when I fish surface lures I like dark colours but in the case of paddler style like the tremor I don’t think it matters as they make a lot of commotion any way. Just remember when you pick a surface lure colour they only see the colour on the bottom of it anyway

Where about did you get stuck? How long ago was this

@Leighmitchell001 where about did you get stuck as I am floating a few wks?

I was considering buying some Tremors but after watching this ...Nope....they're definitely not worth the $100. Yah only paying for someone get rich scheme. I've also bought a Balista diver a few years ago....worked for approx an hour...then never worked again

Great video mate! Not suprised that balista crap fell apart, plenty of cheaper quality timber aussie made surface lures out there that stand well above balistas chinese crap

@Leighmitchell001

Yea mate I’ve used most all the surface paddlers that are targeted towards cod on the market. The balista tremor does have 2 features I like and that is the replacement bibs are easy to use as I’ve broken bibs on most all paddler types and the main thing I like is I can burn them really fast and they hold in and still work were most the others blow out at speed. But yea I’ve broken/had them brake on my fair share of them too
