Why-ting

Just Wondering what all you boys and girls like to throw at your jacks. Maybe just give us your fav, if you could only have 1 lure in the boat what would it be and what colour?
Id have to say my vote would go to the smith cherryblood in colour 09 its got a black back pink belly and silver scales. I think everyone loves them because there are none in the country at the moment
Cheers Whytey

You havent seen my tackle box i mean boxes, have you Franco. I have a fair few lures that you wouldnt have. I spose you cant put your finger on your favourite lure atm as you need to catch fish to have a favourite.

Were all too scared to post after your results whitey.
Shall the rest of us tell you whats NOT working? I bet river2sea poppers, atomic prongs, sx40s are not in your tackle box. Just kidding, but these are good lures that havent worked for me this season.
Prawnstars in El Natural worked best for me last summer. This season Im working with an experimental lure from the US, so Im not worried about my poor hookup rate, (yet). It better get a fish soon tho......
Im thinking of using more HBs since your captures whitey. Ive just changed the trebles on my Reidys b52, Manns stretch and Shimano scorpion. Must give these a go soon.
cheers

FLATZ RAT for me ( Pink , Purple & Gold) ....... But I have to say that after using some of Luigis Hinchinbrook Hunters ( good old hand made timber lures) ....... These just might be the best ... with a great action ( nearly neutrally buoyant) ...... But the most snag resistant Hardbody lure I've used!!!!
Now I just need some more opportunities to fish them again::)

just a quick heads up that all halco, manns, tilson and bomber lures are 20% off at BCF.

Anythign about the right size that is jap built work well, but are very expensive to be bricked on. I like storm thundercranks and reidys little lucifers in terms of bang for buck.
