whitewash Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) hey raiders, Looking at getting some skirted lures…… mind you I'm on a budget Im happy to pay around $100. But I don't just want 1 lure for that $100. Would prefer a pack I was thinking under 20cm but if recommended would go bigger. Target species kingfish, dolphin fish, bonito, tuna….. basically all pelagic's outside of billfish but I wouldn't turn one down…..hahaha If you have any idea what colours, sizes, head shoes ect work best around this area I would be greatly appreciative.

oz_brett Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hi Whitewash my chosen lures are PINK Christmas trees, for stripe tuna, bonito even dollies & kings (kings Ive only got rats so far) see the image below. if targeting larger species I use an 8 inch pink skirt with alloy jet head that has a large hole in front & smaller jet holes on the sides that leave a nice trail of bubbles Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewash Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Scratchie- cheers mate pretty sure thats exactly what Im after the 10 pack looks pretty good for $80 Brett - yeh mate thats the only skirt/ feather I have at the moment, haven't had any luck though on it yet though predominantly through lack of trying further to my last - any brands/ shops/ styles to stay away from. cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boattart Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hey Whitewash. What are you chasing? I've got boxes of spare I'd be happy to lend you and you can buy the one you like with a donation to charity. I'm out next week but send me a message if you'd like.

stevefish Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I would be be re rigging them for sure. The hooks, leader and crimps on an $8 lure can only be worth so much. Welcome to game fishing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
