Realbait and Barramundi

Barramundi destroy my lures, and the most of the cases, they were wooden baits. However, another nightmare entered my list.

It was my son casting Lucky Craft's Realbait. He said "this doesn't sink fast, so can I make it like a Texas rig?" A 8 year old kid wanted to make this slow-sinking bigbait a Texas rig. So, I asked him why. He said "well, since Chatterbait wiggles good in the water because it's got the weight on its head, I set a Texas sinker on this bigbait, and then it sinks fast and should swim better."

I didn't know it swims better or not, but we gave it a try.

He pitched a short distance and looked at it and liked the way it swam. I was standing besides him, and he cast long and waited like a couple of seconds to retrieve in the middle range.
Kaboom! First cast, a big hit. He almost dropped his rod. But fish came off. I mean, it was never hooked up. Just a big bite.
He reeled the lure in. We found it was chopped in half.

So, he got mad, stopped fishing, and started playing Nintendo 3DS he brought.
Therefore, I decided to buy him another Lucky Craft's Realbait. Now he's begging me to go fish. But he's got flu, and I don't think he can go fish weekend. So sad.
