Since 1960, Tomic
Lures Ltd. had been manufacturing trolling and casting
plugs appropriately called Tomic Lures. Originally designed
for the west coast salmon industry, Tomic now produces
lures for literally every fresh and saltwater sport
fishery in the world.
In 1993, Tom Moss, the founder of Tomic Lures, began
developing a multipurpose lure called the Tomic Terminator,
which can be used not only as a trolling and casting
lure, but as a flasher, enhancing the action of other
lures or bait (anchovies, herring, strip, flies, spoons,
hoochies). With its unique multi-thread through system,
the Terminator can be fished at any speed, depending
which of the three towing positions are used. |
For a fast troll, the front hole will give the best action.
When a slower speed is required, the third hole will give the
best action. According to Tom Moss, "the Terminator is
designed to swim, so if it starts to roll, use the hole closest
to the nose".
If using the Terminator as a flasher, run the line form the
top side (at the back) and attach a 35 lb bead chain. From here,
attach a leader to your bait or other lure. Long leaders are
not needed—12-30 inches is more than enough. Any longer
than 30 inches, and the fish will not resist biting the Terminator
instead of the lure or bait.
To change the appearance of your Tomic Terminator, hoochies
may be threaded to sit on the back of the lure, with the tentacles
hanging past the tail. This gives an extremely life-like squid
presentation. For example, an Army Truck hoochy on an Army
Truck Terminator may be used in conjunction with one another.
| Proven all over the world,
the Terminator is great for salmon, trout, halibut and
many other species, making this lure a must have for every
fisherman’s tackle box. The name of this lure speaks
for itself. The Tomic Terminator is available in 4.5"
and 3.5" sizes, and 17 proven colours. All lures
are rigged with 25 lb test Berkley Big Game monofilament,
and Eagle Claw Seaguard Single Siwash hooks. |
