It’s nice to have home made. To have it successful is even better. AP Tackleworks produced in Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada they have three spoons in their line up. The AP Sandlance, AP Herring and the AP Anchovy spoon lures. As a trolling lure the action is very life like. The success anglers are having all over the world reflects they have a lure that gets results. There is a market they are entering and that in the casting lures. The weights will be 3/8 to ½ ounce. This year the AP prototype AP Herring was tested by pro staff d’Oliveira. The background of success for catching salmon off the East Coast beaches of Vancouver Island for the last 23 years made him the perfect angler to test and review. The AP Herring spoon is use to target the Coho and the Spring salmon staging on our beaches prior to entering their natal stream. The technique is ultra lights. The rods are 13 feet long using 8m-pound main mono line with 4 feet of 12-pound pure fluorocarbon leader. The AP herring-casting prototype was not a disappointment. The day for testing resulted with 6 Coho salmon landed. Weather condition was perfect with heavy over cast clouds with a light drizzle. No wind and the surf of the ocean were smooth. Prototypes of the AP Anchovy and the AP Sandlance will be for 2017 . …………… AP Tackleworks: The AP Sandlance Spoon has now been fished all throughout the West Coast of North America from Alaska to California and all the way to Russia, New Zealand, Scandinavia and Japan, all with great results. Although the lures were originally designed to target Chinook salmon on the sandy bottoms of the Salish Sea, they have proven effective on Coho salmon, halibut, lingcod, large fresh water trout and many other species. The lures perform great when trolled extremely close to bottom where Pacific Sand Lance are found and are also very effective higher up in the water column. …………… Stay tune for further news on the development of AP Tackleworks Casting Lures.
