Shamrock shollow divers!!
Any bought the shamrock brand feed shallows. Got one today and will bring out in the next night or 2 for swim. Any one have any experience with them, less than half the price of the tackle house ones!!

They are a very blatant rip off of the Tacklehouse lures, even with pretty much the same name "Feed". Having said that though, at half the price if they work the same how bad.

Gave it a go the other night along with its expensive cousin. No luck with either, tides were a bit off mind you. Did think the tackle house cast a bit better. Will have to wait and see.

Re: Shamrock shollow divers!!
That's the single biggest difference between the big bucks lures and the copies- you would be hard pressed to see a difference in the action, but the copies just do not cast well.
A good example of this is there's a bass charter skipper in Wales who writes for Sea Angler and he is always going on about using the Rapture lures. They must catch fish otherwise he wouldn't make any money in his business. But he wouldn't have to cast these lures much distance or he could be trolling them too

Re: Shamrock shollow divers!!
It was his reviews that made me check them out Hahaha. Ah yeah they'd be fine of a boat or a yak. I do find that their Komomo copy is alright though; good cast, action, and colours
