These lures look the goods 

The Ecogear hardbodied lures are particularly popular with kayak fishermen – especially the sx40 that is well known for it's lively action that bream (for example) find hard to resist. Whilst poking around Barrajacks Tackleworld in Noosaville the other day I was introduced to the Owner Rip'n Minnow lures, which look to be every bit as good as the Ecogear counterparts. And yes they are less expensive, but they don't look it. I can assure you that they work, because they certainly hooked me good and proper. I can tell just by looking at them that I won't be their only catch.

I picked up two of them – one for clear and another for murkier waters. At 70mm (6.3g) they are a little larger than the sx40 and I suspect these will have a better chance of catching larger fish. As much as I dig the sx40's, I'm yet to catch anything with any real size with them. I'm betting that these Ripper Minnows will produce the goods though. Time will tell of course and as soon as I have the evidence  I'll be sure to produce it.
