No problem getting fire tiger lures over 6g, both spinners and hard baits. I have lots and never found them hard to get.

Dont be fooled into thinking the marketing men know the best colours because they dont.
Colour your own lures and discover what works on your waters eg; yellow was the colour of choice on one lake but 2miles up the road, same acidity, but different depths and more weed and yellow couldnt buy a hit, green was the best catcher by far.
I wobble deads but on one water Ive yet to catch my first fish on a Rudd, a bait which catches everywhere else I use it.

Re: Firetiger Pattern Spinners and lures
They did a 65mm/12g version until 2000.
These, now vintage, made from 1992-1995.

Beware for spinners I'm not sure all the micro details catches any more fish but loads of anglers! I seem to remember in Barrie Rickards book ob spinning the flume tank tests they did showed its the overall colour not detail you see.

Probably a confidence thing and my records show that it is my top catching pattern (data somewhat scewed by the amount of water time my FT baits get however)

So maybe firetigers possible resemblance to a small perch or even a small pike gets a lot of hits

I've welcomed your "newbie" questions - they freshen up the forum, and have started some interesting discussions. But I can understand frustration when wise folks here take some time to help and answer questions - but you seem to make no effort to follow up on their help yourself, but just ask again, as though their effort have been ignored. Trading abuse won't help...

It started when I asked what pulling back meant , I thought it was a spinner being too big for a small fish, causing it harm
The poster went off on one , I had no idea why
Then the poster added a couple of sarcastic comments finished off by saying I posted s***e
I am not having that
I appreciate your opinion however
