SimJ Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 gdauy raiders, Just wondering if anyone knows anything about kingfish lures - is there such a thing?

Got it in bait and tackle shop in Chatswood. Hope this helps cheers, Simmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Rapala CD magnum 7's, 9's, 11's and most XRaps work well when trolled around known kingfish haunts. red head, silver, and green & gold mackerel tend to go the best off syd CFD Top advice CFD.

kiro Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 G'day Tan, I was speed jigging some butterfly knife jigs in nelson bay for kings and i hooked up just about every drop! They were all rats, but they were kingies nonetheless! Hope this helps... good luck mate kiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh191 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Tan the fisherman, I would say just about any rapala or similar lure that looks and swims like a pillie and also poppers. Hope that helps. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh88 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 As has been said most rapala lures from sizes 7 up to 14 will do the trick on kings, i like sizes 9-11 personally with the x-raps being my favourite in pilchard/mackeral type pattern. The CD series are also very good but work better on the troll whereas the x-raps are better for casting in the shallower model. Consider poppers as well, something that makes a big blooping splash that will catch a curious kings attention like a Halco Roosta in size (i think) 85 or 105. Don't forget about soft plastics as well though they work particularly well on kings, sluggos, any kind of stickbait/minnow profile will often do the trick.
