yesterday i was able to go fishing, but i didnt catch anything. However, today was a different story, i caught a small pike and a perch, but i missed a lot of bites. I had 5 bites and a follow in just a few hours fishing, and managed to catch my first fish on my rapala original. My pike was on an abu reflex spinner, fished down deep. I had a good hit on the cast before, but didn't strike because i thought it was my lure bumping along the bottom, but i had another bite on the next cast from the same spot, which i landed. I then had a fish follow my rapala original 7cm silver in to the bank, and shortly after, a large perch of about 1-1.5lb hit my lure, but i didnt strike because it grabbed it just a few inches from the bank. Next cast i had a bite, which i struck, and i landed a small perch that was probably less than twice the size of my lure, and i had another hit from a fish i couldn't see shortly afterwards. All in all a good days fishing ;D

that rapala original is fast becoming my favourite lure, you wouldn't believe the number of follows and hits ive had on it from perch, and yet only the 1 fish??? oh well, when i have the money i will get a CD01, should catch a lot more then, the fish will not be so shy to take the lure right down. Will have to see though !!!

What size Original? If you're fishing from shore go with the biggest you can, the F-13 is a great sized lure and anything will smash it...
