kingfish lures

[Tf200]

I was hearing a lot of stories recently about kingies being caught while trolling with lures, personally this has never happened to me so i was wondering what is good a lure to use?

Thanks

Xrap 15 or halco laser pro.. Kings and just about everything else will chew these.

If I had to pick only 1 lure it would be the laser pro... Cheaper and works just as well

Rapala cd 9, i like the reflective bib and no rattles. a bit old fashioned but it works.

3inch minnow in a neutral/murky colour for sight casting at surface fish, use just enough retrieve to keep it on top.

try trolling different styles cos kings sometimes want what they want and nothing else, so make a spread of different styles and colours where possible, big little. deep shallow etc

More a question then an answer: What about Skirts (Bullet or jet heads) in 5" - 7" length ?

surface poppers are great fun - i use the 55g williamson jet popper - can be trolled.

anything up to 100g for casting distance

There is a lot of lures that are good for trolling for kings

Heres some we used to use

Lively lures blue pilly(great mackeral lure up north)

Nilsmaster Invincibles especially the deep diver

I prefer not to use CD rapalas due to the fact that they sink and snag up when a fish is hooked on other lures

Halco laserpros

Jinkai lil jerk(not sure if you can still get these)its a small skirted lure that we used to put quite away back behind the minnow lures Often the kings would be shy and be attracted to the larger minnows but not hit them but would hit the lil jerk

Also try a shallow running lure off a downrigger
