dhype Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just picked up a few of these little prawn imitation lures... the body is about 30mm in length and is made from a nice soft plastic. Lets see how they go on the Botany bream population... i reckon they will do well on them along with a whole heap of other fish. Anyone here use shrimp patterns other than the smelly Berkley shrimps?

SCOTTYB Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Haven't been playing with plastics for a while, but used to do really well with Atomic's prawn - would catch bream on a slow retrieve, and a fast one would get yellowtail and slimy mack, bonito if they were around.

CarlRak Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 They do look good, mind if I ask where you got them from or what they're called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3zza Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 It appears to be the Scumline raw prawn. http://scumlinefishingtackle.com/product_info.php?products_id=633 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul.kenny Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hi Trung, what sort of action do those imitation prawn provide or are they like a jerk bait that just requires the angler to provide the action? Have you tried them yet? Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhype Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Have you tried squidgy stealth prawns with the risen head? No haven't tried that one... Have used the gulp 2inch prawn in the past and done ok on them... But these day I try to avoid gulp ... Stink like... They do look good, mind if I ask where you got them from or what they're called? I got them from an online deal and they were cheap... I'll pm you some details It appears to be the Scumline raw prawn. http://scumlinefishingtackle.com/product_info.php?products_id=633 not from this mob... Got them for cheap posted.... Hi Trung, what sort of action do those imitation prawn provide or are they like a jerk bait that just requires the angler to provide the action? Have you tried them yet? Cheers Paul Hey Paul.. Have not tried it as yet but I assume the action will have to be imparted by the fisher person ... on the drop I would think the legs and antenna would flutter somewhat and give it a bit of life. I plan to head out this week for a flick... see how it goes then. Trung Edited February 27, 2012 by dhype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhype Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi Trung, any luck on these lures yet? Tell you what I have not used them to yet! I have been busy trying to learn the art of catching fish with hardbody lures in the last few weekends and finally nailed a few with an atomic hardz!! Have caught plenty of fish with SP in the past but have sucked at using hardbodies till now!! My first fish on a hardbody... was only a small flatty but a few more better fish followed. Was happy with that I have boxes of bream and flatty hardbodies... might start using them now! Cheers Trung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Frost Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 DOA prawns, I have a box of them in a variety of colours , they are not something i used a lot in sydney but in Forster they are killer on bream. They are longer 60 or 70mm approx you want to be targeting decent size fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pburton Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Those are good looking prawns, I would fish them as light as you can go. Tackle craft prawns are hard to find but work well for me. I fish them on a worm hook and a steady retrieve will keep them on the surface for summer bream. Squidgy bugs are also good fished the same way. Fish around structure or over flats and if the fish follow just stop and wait... keep waiting if you can and they will get smashed. If you dont get any surface action just let them drift past or under structure without weight and just the rare twitch. I find this time of year i have to go smaller, fish deeper and slower but winter fish are normally good fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
