Oarsome 130

Oarsome 130

The Oarsome 130 is a minnow or a thin body lure 130mm in body length and comes in three depth options.

The Oarsome 130mm 1mt  will troll and cast at 1mt, the Oarsome 130mm 3mt will cast to a depth of approximately 2mts and troll at 3mts, while the Oarsome 130mm 5mt trolls to 5mts and cast to just over 3mts.

Our patent pending, body design, rattle and bib locking system  makes this a very strong lure to handle the rigours of fishing for Barramundi, Tiger Fish in Africa, Black Bass in Papua New Guinea as well as blue water species like Spanish Mackerel, GT’s Queenies and other saltwater species.

Our unique body design gives not only strength but a rolling action that can be achieved at the slowest of retrieves or trolled at speeds in excess of 10kph.

The patent pending bib locking system offers superior strength without the use of any glue in the lure assembly.

The integrated towing wire is part of the bib system virtually eliminating bib breakages.

The Oarsome 130mm weights 30grams and comes standard with 3 VMC 9626PS size 1 trebles and 5H stainless steel split rings.

Removing the size 1 trebles and replacing them with 2 VMC 9626PS size 2/0 trebles is an option for those prefering this rigging method.

for Tiger Fish the Oarsome 130mm is rigged with one VMC inline single at the front and one VMC Scorpic treble at the rear, for Black Bass the lure is rigged with the new VMC 6x strong trebles and matching rings.

The buoyancy of the Oarsome 130mm allows this lure to be trolled successfully in the timber and snags of our rivers and impoundments without continually reversing to retrieve fouled lures.

The Oarsome 130mm has been used by winners and top placed teams in the Barra Classic and Barra Nationals held on the Daly River in the Northern Territory as well as fishing competitions in Northern Queensland.

Tiger Fishing in Africa requires lures that will not only catch fish but be strong and durable to handle these lure destroying fish. Tiger Fishing guides in Africa are using the Oarsome 130mm and Oarsome 90mm for their clients from one group to the next and they are still going strong and landing many trophy sized Tiger Fish.

Black Bass Fishing in Papua New Guinea requires the absolute best in strength, depth and action. Black Bass over 40 pound will destroy any lure not strong and well made, the Oarsome 130mm in the 5mt depth is the go to lure recommended by Angling Adventures for their clients fishing this wild and remote location in PNG.

Blue water fishing for pelagic species with the Oarsome 130mm has become more popular as this lure achieves great success, Spanish Mackerel, GT’s Queenies, King Fish Tuna and many other saltwater species have fallen to this lure, trolling speeds up to 10K/h make it ideal for this style of fishing.

for Blue water fishing the Oarsome 130mm can be rigged with 2 VMC inline singles

Available in a range of colours suited to each species

As with all our lure range, attaching lure to line with a loop knot is the preferred method, if using clips the best quality is essential. Wire traces are also an option when fishing for Tiger Fish.
