That was really interesting ,thank you

[@mertgul2590]

Is there any hard plastic floating lure for sea you used before ? (from aliexpress)

[@balkanfishing]

Hi! Actually yes... Lurefans. Very very good quality. Especially if you go for chub fishing. I'll make a video soon about it.

[@mertgul2590]

@@balkanfishing thank you so much, i cant wait to see your video about these lures

[@miamiwax5504]

Tsurinoya is good

[@i1bike]

i can see it is wiggling the tail, but does it wobbles from side to side like wobbler, cuz that is why original black minnow is so effective

[@balkanfishing]

Actually not... the most active play of the copy is the tail. It doesn't behave like a wobbler unfortunately. I still don't have any fish hooked on this lure :D

[@i1bike]

@@balkanfishing Does it rolls from side to side like wobblers, or there is no action at all, beside the tail ?

[@balkanfishing]

@@i1bike it's pretty much the tail... no left / right movement... In order to make it more attractive I twitch it stronger so it makes higher rises and falls in the water.

[@i1bike]

@@balkanfishing So, no wobbling action left to right, and no rolling action left to right. Does it blinks when you retrieve it ? Does it moves tail when its sinking ?

[@balkanfishing]

Yes... the tail moves a lot, but that's it! :D I will keep trying to catch a fish on this lure and if so I will upload a video of it! :D Wish me luck!

Hi, have you ever tried the AXIA Weedless Minnow? Any thoughts?

[@balkanfishing]

Hey, I've only seen Axia Weedless Minnow. Didn't have the chance to test the lure, but the silicone was a bit harder than the one Fiiish uses. Other than that it seems pretty good. The colors are also very nice. Actually depends on where you plan to use the lure? What's your case?

[@raedabusanad]

@balkanfishing thanks. I ll be using it from the beach in low/mefium depths mainly for seabass with spinning rod 10-35g

[@raedabusanad]

Also any idea how does Fiiish compare to Savage Gear minnow weedless?

[@astroblemeRC]

Seems to swim well in the water. 🐟

[@balkanfishing]

I did some additional testing last weekend. The silicone is very solid. I had few bites from perch and pikes and they were not able to rip it off. I'm happy with the copy, but I would definitely recommend the original Fiiish! :D

[@astroblemeRC]

@@balkanfishing Thanks for the update. I picked up a few Fiiish and may get some copy ones if they are super cheap. 🎣

[@miamiwax5504]

How many fish can you catch on 1 plastic?

[@balkanfishing]

It really depends... If you mean how many fishes you can catch on one silicone body before it totally ripped off, than I would say 3 to 5 fishes maximum. Usually the tail is the first to get destroyed. When I use it for perch fishing I usually catch between 3 and 5 fishes and than I change the body.

[@goranvunjak3092]

I bought for 80 euros of this lure and they all came UNassembled :/ I need to try them, to leave a comment!

[@balkanfishing]

Which one? Original or Chinese copy?
