Actually I was going to open a new thread comparing the legendary Onde to whats available currently. I know the DUO Pressbait is quite popular. Are there any others?
Plenty has been written about the Onde Onda lure, its disappearance & it's successor or imitations on the market & lures made by DIY enthusiasts.
Save some money & do a Thread search if you intend buying some imitations to test & compare to do your research.
The current Onda lure distributed & sold by Kingfisher & the Fishstick by Greg Kellerman is the closest I've seen.
Though the swimming action of the Kingfisher Onde not being near the real deal,
but it works, that I will testify to. Suppose it's the added action you as the angler render to it during retrieve that helps alot.
Then I have bought some Onda's "look-a likes" or "Fishsticks" from lure builder Greg Kellerman of East Coast Angling guides (Swindler lures)
They look awesome, swim very good & do produce the goods.
There are many other excellent custom lure builders in South Africa & once very active on SL.
It will actually be great to hear from them & see if they still active & get to hear & see their latest products & maybe get a glimpse of their Onda "look a likes".
