This Crazy MUSSEL LURE Actually WORKS! (Starlo Scores His New ‘PB’ BREAM On The Mussel Vibe)

[@peterm6199]

Starlo there’ll be a jockey looking for that horse you caught! A real dinosaur of a fish and caught on your first attempt with the Muss! That’s gold well done 👌

[@StarloGetsReel]

Yes, I'm pretty chuffed!

[@manna6618]

A local lure from a local legend where I live, absolute game changer! I have even had a few mussel imitations tied up for my fly box by local fly tyers now, if you can get the sink rate right they work dynamite as well.

[@StarloGetsReel]

That's very cool!

[@joedennehy386]

Remarkable, those 2 trebles would snag over the reefs where I fish for snapper in coromandel nz. So the legend Steve Starlo who has caught a billion bream, catches his pb on his 5th cast. Amazing thanks

[@StarloGetsReel]

Cheers! Yes, not all that snag resistant. Might be room for one with an upward-facing single? Callum??

[@mmmbass6068]

@@StarloGetsReel great idea

[@danmurphy5889]

Hahaha that was entertaining to watch, from the doubtful thoughts to the OMG what a beast , loved it, might have to get me some.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Glad you liked it! Yes, worth having a few in your kit, for sure.

[@intensity.density2208]

This is one of those "why didn't I think of that?" Inventions. Amazing lure. Heard many positive reviews

[@StarloGetsReel]

Absolutely!

[@adammfishing]

Good to see a seasoned fisho get excited still. Nice work.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Absolutely! 😃

[@fishlikeadad]

So good Starlo. Reckon the muss would work on the Sunny Coast even if we don't get many mussels growing up this way? Who knows - might be in the local bream's DNA to crunch it anyway??

[@StarloGetsReel]

I reckon the'yd still eat them.

[@franksaunders6534]

Well done, Steve! Have been a fan of yours for many, many years and felt the moment with you.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks so much, Frank!

[@menasouvlaki3595]

just got into fishing with lures and I'm addicted. up at 4am most mornings to check conditions. I just wanted to leave a comment and say well done mate, I see that you respond to every comment on KZbin. thats so respectable mate. I can't imagine how busy you are, and I know you have a name in the industry from what I can see, caught a few fish I reckon. to take the time to respond to everyone is amazing. keep positive mate. ( no need to respond but you probably will anyways haha) FISH ON

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks so much, mena! I DO try to respond to everyone but I know I miss a few... it's hard to keep up!

[@deriserudder5098]

What a great fish go the muss next time take a bridle and saddle giddy up.👍

[@StarloGetsReel]

🤣 Love it!

[@TrentRidley]

I think the reason this lure tends to catch big bream is because the smaller fish don't have the strength to bust open a mussle, so only the big fish bother with it. Of course that probably means you're going to limit the number of fish you catch, but increase the likelihood of catching something really big as you did here.

[@StarloGetsReel]

I totally agree.

[@trevorbennetts1967]

What a cracking fish, well done Sir 👍 Your inching towards that 50cm bad boy with precision. I saw young Shroom using a Mussel vibe lure in Sydney Harbour some weeks ago. And I thought, what a clever, well thought out lure. Much like the Cranka Crab lure, very smart designs. With big bream having such powerful jaws, and at $20 + a pop, one might chew through a few lures each session. Not cheap but worth the cost i think. I'm starting to feel sorry for the bream. Cheers mate 😀

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks Trevor! Yes, great lure and quite a few parallels with the Cranka crab, for sure.

Gee Starla, this lure has big potential, I wasn’t aware they cam in different colours. Your P.B bream is a total beast. That is a huge fat and chunky monster my friend. Well done, I would have been overjoyed… nice to see your successful session. I gotta get me some of those lures.. all the best from Norm.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks Norm! Yes, I believe Callum is constantly working on new colours to match local variations.

[@alft69]

Great video, Starlo and good on you for drawing attention to a great Australian innovation. I've picked up a few of these from Callum and have had good results and lots of fun.

[@badlordboris6238]

It's what keeps the passion flowing in all of us. The thirst for knowledge and nailing down a new technique on a new lure is exciting. Great PB, I have been stuck on 43 fork for about 10 years. I have caught a fair few at 43 fork and just cant seem to top it. I'm yet to chuck on the Muss but I will be giving it a crack very shortly.

[@callumdowell5755]

Great vid Starlo and awesome to see such a fish caught on the new Muss. I've been told to only used around structure such as pylons and jetties so good to see it can work wherever👍

[@johnathonLawrence]

If you have deep mussel beds in your system they will definitely work out in the open 👌🏽

[@needmoreboost6369]

What an excellent session! I love the part telling yourself it’s possible it’s just foul hooked, it’s that moment of uncertainty and the fact it was holding it’s ground and not coming easily it seemed just a 1lb fish sideways at first look, but well done! It’s a horse of a fish! For me I’ve targeted big bream on bait’s my whole life,the preferred method is cubing although vibes and micro plastics have been fun in the past, it’s top water that is my goal now My pb was a slender and silvery 52cm 1.8kg from Coffs marina next to the cougar cat back in ‘99, it took a whole pilly on 6kg gear off the bottom rigged on a snood left over from snapper fishing.annoyingly while I was fishing for bream on a 4lb unweighted outfit

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks! Good stuff on the PB, too! Some big bream in that marina. Pity you can't fish in there these days.

[@needmoreboost6369]

@@StarloGetsReelI know it’s a shame! I loved fishing there back then, looking back though I put a lot of time in there and I’ve got to say damn that place stinks at times! It’s filled with kingfish at the moment too, they’ve been busting up nearly every day! Anyway keep em coming mate! I think it’s great that you’ve been making these vids! I never missed a fishing show in the past always watching to get any slither of information from the likes of yourself or bushy, now I don’t have time for tv, or most of the advertising shows that are on now days.

Hey Starlo, love your videos. Just wondering if you reckon this lure would be a good place to start if I’m starting of bream fishing with lures? I live down in Adelaide and so I’ll be casting around pontoons mainly and brackish water. Cheers

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@Jack_46729 thanks for that! I certainly wouldn’t be starting out with the Muss. It’s a great lure, but you need a bit of experience and confidence in what you’re doing to really get the best from it. I’d start with some smallish curly-tailed soft plastic grubs on light jig heads (2 to 5g on #4 - #2 hooks) and a couple of mid-depth running hard bodies like the Atomic Hardz Crank and Jackall Chubby, or similar. Get some runs on the board first, then try some critter baits like the Cranka Crabs and the Muss. 👍 Happy New Year.

[@Jack_46729]

@ thanks Starlo, will 100 percent try that. Happy new year to you too👍
