Nile Perch Baits?

[tman]

Hey Larry,

Just watched the latest episodes on Nile Perch and I have a couple of questions:

First, during the first episode there was a crankbait which I did not recognize. It had a bright pink head, black body with white herring bone marks on the side. What was that?

Second, since the Nile Perch, as you mentioned, is actually a Barramundi, I was wondering how / when they were introduced?

Thanks,

Todd

hi tman,
The nile perch is not ACTUALLY a barra. It's related to the barramundi.
NP gets much much larger than any barra.
I'm guessing the lure may have been some goofy paint job on a Nils Master, which is a lure made in Finland.
best,
