Must have lure selection - What would it be.

[Andy Macfarlane]

Large floating Salmo Slider (Shiner or Real Roach)

 

ACE Sweet Shad 66 gram (Sunburst)

 

Mepps Aglia Decoree (red spots on brass)

 

4" Pink Shad

 

ABU Floating Jointed Terminator (anything silvery)

 

 

 

I'd be happy with them.

[chesters1]

When fishing fresh water, I go for barramundi and use these:

 

 

1st, 7" barrabait 20+ft

 

2nd, 7" Predatek Viper 12+ft

 

3rd and 3th 7" barrabaits 20+ft.

 

About a dozen Reidy's B52's for barra

 

 

that fourth one down looks just like a rule

did you pinch it off another member?

Can't fool an old fool, can you, Ches??

In no particular order;

 

Shakespeare Big S

Mepps Aglia Gold No.5

21g Spinnerbait

Arbogast Jitterbug (jointed)

and many many many sizes and colours of Kopyto. (I can't just choose one... they're a shoaling rubber fish after all...)

Everybody seems to love the Shakespeare Big S

Why ?

I've got a dozen or so foundlings in various states of repair that I'm going to have to dig out and either use or post off to someone who likes them.

I will take them if you are looking for a home Ken

[Vagabond]

My choice for UK freshwater

 

Big gold spinner, like Ondex. For pike

Small silver spinner, like Mepps. For perch, chub, trout, and estuarine bass.

Silver wobbling spoon such as ABU Atom. For pike

Floating/diving plug, such as ABU Cello. For pike - especially in lily-covered estate lakes.

Deep-running jointed plug - ABU Hi-Lo can be set for various depths. For pike and ferox.

 

Note these are all pretty old-fashioned, but they still catch. When my "life-times supply" of these lures gives out - which could be soon, as I resolve to do much more lure fishing this year (Yes, its 2012 here in Tasmania - do keep up ) then I will have to think of what I replace them with.

'Cos they consistently catch (perch and pike), I have a stabding joke with my son about their effectivness, he thinks rge lure is brilliant and saves any day from blanking. I play them down, but know he has it rght really,

[Andy Macfarlane]

Funny how that happens. I've got old and new Big 'S' lures and they both seemingly suck big time, having caught next to nothing on any of them.

 

I do have a similar lure. A Rapala Risto Rap, which I suppose takes it's shape from alphabet-type lures and it's a very good lure.

 

I suppose lure fishing is like that though.

 

One man's banker is another man's blanker << see now that just brilliant. I wonder why I hadn't thought of it before.
