Anyone else looking to try some new lures in Autumn?

I Got the mouse. Tried it messing around to see how it swims. Haven't tried it seriously yet.

I haven’t wet mine yet, still chasing Rudd around the fens, I will catch a 3lber sooner or later.

But..I might order some Whitefish shads

i found the whitefish shads a bit on the soft side, hook keeper pins (or whatever they are called) come out easy after a few casts. They have a great action though.

I've used them since they came out and not had that issue, as I push one hook of each treble into the bait, which totally eliminates the propensity for the lure to get messed up on the cast or tangle with the leader. Doesn't impact hook up rates at all, especially with such soft lures. The softness of those baits is of course the key to their action, they are really great when fished at slower speeds, with minimal or no weight added. Done best on the pike pattern, no surprise there I guess as the pike pattern giant pig shads are super effective as well - another 'softer' bait that just works.

Thanks! I'll give that a go instead of the pins.

First time on this site and glad iv found it. Just started lure fishing again after having a break 4 a few years, wish I'd stayed away as cost me a fortune but saying that the first time i used a top water was a timu rat £3-00 and hooked into a 9lb was very surprised at the action and quality of the lure. Saying that I haven't tried the savage rats, what's your opinions on them?
