Hi Frou if you have a look at the Halco version to see what it looks like, you will see copies/close similarities available on the net- same for Abu Toby's- I'll try and find a couple here and take a photo in the next couple of days

Any luck?

Halco Twisty (there are also cheaper versions of same lure)

Hi Waza, what versions are you referring to? I will give the halco twisty a go!

another lure I’d recommend is an ABU Toby or something of a similar design.

Hi Greeen Hornet, I searched online for this one and I couldn't find many in Australia... looks like its a UK thing?

after casting let your lure sink for at least 10 or15 seconds on a slack line to allow the swivel to do it’s job. A swivel won’t untwist your line if when there’s any tension on it.

Thanks for the tip, I normally take weight off the swivel when I have retried the lure. Some of the rocky spots from the headlands I fish look like they are full of snags so I try to avoid them, I will make sure to do this when casting from the beach however!

[Alvey Surf Fishing Lures?]

Hello everybody, I am new to fishraider  😄

I'm looking to try a few lures in the surf, I live on the far south coast of NSW.

I have a Alvey C62S combo (6 inch alvey and light 12' surf rod) with 10lb line on it.

I'm happy to try for a variety of species, just wanting to experiment with something other than bait so the more options the better. What kind of lures should I look to get to target a large variety of species?

Mostly going to be casting from the shore, and might give casting into the surf from the headland rocks a go if the wind is up...

Your reports have given me great entertainment Keflapod. So much so that I decided to create an account to let you know.

Hope to see more soon
