mark10187 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hey guys, Just bought a shimano lucanus lure the ones that kinda look like a squid in pink and white was wondering if anyone else has used these and had any luck with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtosea Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Snapper and Kings and Tuna love them as well as others. Great looking things, only prob we've found is the dacron is not THAT strong if you hook a monster King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Hammond Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Have one in pink but be careful as the leatherjacket love to eat all the dangly bits on them, all i have left of mine is the head - i believe you can buy new skirts for them. But i wouldn't drop one down if the leathers are around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtosea Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I have found the Gold dynamite, slow jumps off the bottom, even a jigging action is good. Sometimes you just leave them in the rod holder and do nothing. Let the motion of the ocean do the work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisho1234 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Have used the pink ones and caught snapper with them. But be wary as the leatherjackets will shred them to pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark10187 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 thanks for the tips guys the last thing i want to do is lose one of these to a bloody leatherjacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evets Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Yeah, My mates cleaned up on inshore snapper using the pink version. They caught fish up to 5kgs down near bass point a few weeks ago. They basically dropped it to the bottom, wound it up a few cranks and let the rocking boat do the rest. Evets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtosea Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I also wanted to add that the Gillies ones are half the price and less and do the same job in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
