Lures?

[gw77]

I'm looking at buying some lures but don't know which ones I should buy. So far I have bought some squidgies.

Any recommendations any other types?

Hi GW,

Mate if you are targeting bream id have to say buy some Bass Minnows 3", some 2" berkly grubs, and some Storm rattle grubs also 2".

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that.

I'm just looking at getting a basic lure tackle box put together and was looking at what would be the "must haves" to have in there.

Burkley 1 inch nymphs, and 3 inch power hawg. I love them!

What type of fish will you be targetting & are you after soft plastics or hard body lures ?

[djmac]

if you are starting off just get a few to cover basically everything

i.e. alot of fish respond to soft plastics,

always good to have one or 2 silver chrome lures if you run into a school of tailor or salmon etc.

have a deep diver and a midwater lure in there

and depending on where you fish maybe a skirted lure and a surface popper etc.

u dont need to spend too much

until you start chasing marlin which for me is like $150 a lure

Thanks djmac. What brands or models would you recommend?

Ken: I am wanting to buy a variety of different lures for all types of fish. At this stage I only have the squdgies and have no idea on what other lures I need to buy or should have.

For bream any of the plastics they guys mentioned above will take fish. The ones I like are

Bream - 2" Ecogear Paramax Grub in plum & Eco SX-40's

Flathead - 3" Paramax & Grass Minnows in 2.5 thriough to 5" Powershads

Tailor /Salmon/Rat Kings - River2Sea Sea Rock / any small metal slug type lure

Light trolling around headlands etc - Rapala Count downs from size 9 up. I prefer the Mackeral Pattern

There are some pics of the sort of HB lures I use in river at this link Lures
