I used them in the day, caught some decent pike too, but there's larger surface lures you can use that will massively up your catch rate and size of pike caught. Good fun to use small lures but it is like taking a knife to a gunfight when targeting pike off the top. I much prefer using big jackpots, scuttlebugs, top raiders and such like. Best place to buy these? Just search the internet, credit card in hand. Tight lines.All
I purchased crazy crawlers , jitterbugs etc from Harris Angling many moons ago .
Where can I buy this type of lures from in the UK from now or has anyone got any surface lures for sale ?
Cheers all

He reckons it's worth searching Ebay and other sites with words deliberately misspelled as this can turn up parts that otherwise would not appear in search results. Might be something worth trying if you're looking for lure rarities?

If you put Abrogst jiitebg, for example, into Google, you'll find Arbogast Jitterbugs, so you'd think that eBay ought to have something similar in use.

The best being a mint set of three Shimano 10000 gte's with spare spools for 50 quid.
Incorrectly listed as 1000 size.
My nieces boyfriend picked up a Vauxhall mokka for a fraction of its value because the seller misspelt Vauxhall as voxhall and it didn't show in a correctly spelt search, he found it because he made the same mistake!
