What Our Customers Say:

  • 5 Star Review  As one of many newbies getting into SPJ and having taken advice from Matt, I can say without fear of... read more contradiction that the Slammer jigs are simply brilliant! After fishing them with someone who is proficient at SPJ @ Chino Fabro, I saw first hand how effective they can be, even in difficult conditions! I even managed a PB Pollack of around 13lb, despite a serious lack of technique. Thanks Matt, see you again on Silver Halo Charters in a few weeks.

    5 Star Review  Having been commercial bass fishermen for over 20 years we thought that we had got all the bases covered, livebaiting... read more , shadding, all forms of eels,jellies etc, that was until we tried these little mayhem jigs, we were having a tough day on the inshore reefs, the fish were there but not taking any of our traditional lures, we suspected that they had gorged themselves on sprats and were not really feeding. We decided to dig out the spinning rods and tie on a couple of mayhems and see if we could tempt the fish to feed, we both dropped down and after the jigs got down to a depth of 65 feet in 70 feet of water they both stopped, both lures had been taken on the drop, to cut a long story short we caught over 40 bass in just over an hour, nothing big but it turned a poor commercial day into a successful one, we duly placed an order for more and a few days later we received them, these lures are now our “go to” lure when the fishing is difficult.

I can't wait for a break in the weather to get out and give it a good test, I'm expecting in this colour to be good for the bass, Pollock and dare I say a cod when they're about.

I contacted Matt and asked if I could jump on board Silver Halo for a trip and some tuition. I took the opportunity to use the onboard kit and Wow I was not disappointed. Matt put us on the fish and with a couple of drifts under his watchful eye and a few pointers taken on board, I was soon amongst some quality hard fighting double figure Pollock. The Joker Slammer was the jig of choice in varying colours throughout the day. A cracking day on board Silver Halo. I have since purchased a quantity of gear from Matt, to get my SPJ fishing off the mark. Thanks again Matt for converting me from the norm.
