top 5?

[jeffo]

Hi all,

Just about to get into a bit of freshwater fishing (done very little).

I would like to propose the question. If you could only take 5 lures for a fishing trip in a SEQ impoundment to suit all possiblities what would they be and in what colour?

I alreay have a couple of jackals,poltergiest's, scorpion's, tilsan bass, spinner baits and a few poppers but would like to hear what every one elses 5 favorite lures are.

[bdowdy]

would have take what you have said but colour wise any thing in black,purples,greens,yella, and red combinations, purple being ahuge freshwater favorite. cheers bdowdy...brett

[jeffo]

surely there are more people on this site that have 5 favorite fresh water lures?

[nipsta]

luhr jensen hotlips clear with a purple stripe on top
predatek boomerang any size and colour
berkely frenzey shads any colour
halco scorpion 80mm gold
killalure barra baits gold
and the list goes on

[tunaticer]

a gold and chrome Yo-zuri 60mm shallow diving sinking hardbod (S-minnow I think).
This lure has outcaught the jackals for me time and again. Mates are jackal nuts and basically wont swim anything else and i swim these lures and score equal or better almost every time.
Pity these lures are so bloody hard to come by now.

Jack.

[jeffo]

where ever i end up paul. borumba this weekend id say. then ill spread my wings a bit after that.

[Big_Ren]

Good luck Phill. The lures I selected cover the entire water column and give you a mix of surface walkers and fizzers, hardbody crankbaits and SPs (slow and faster sinking).

Cheers and good luck. Give us a hoy if ya need a hand.

Cheers
Paul

Ben

[Big_Ren]

Thanks Ben.....one slipped my mind. We only need one tackle tray mate......got it covered. Let's throw all those others ones out;D

[eotbmg]

Nah, i will need some lures for the girl to try out when i am teaching her how to catch barra. Hopefully she will show her old man that all those Barra classics with no trebles on them are barra magnets!!!!!! Dad please put the trebles back on!!!
Ben

[Big_Ren]

Lol Ben...give her time.....she'll outfish you mate...probably better on the net too....oops sorry Ben, sorry Lee;D;D

[eotbmg]

Hopefully i will give her plenty of practise on the net. Her Mum is a sure bet on the net and on the camera.

1. Flick Cobra 15+ in chartruese for trolling. Sub a SMAK Blitz Baga 15+ in black/gold if you can't get a Flick.

2. 5/8oz SMAK Proselect spinnerbait, tandem blades, gold willow, silver colorado in either black, purple or white tones for casting or trolling. Any similar 1/2 or 5/8oz from Bassman as well.

3. TN-60 Jackal in Ayu or Ghost Wakagashi for casting or trolling. Equivalent Ecogears are better for trolling and around the edges casting the TD-Daiwas don't give much away to TN-60s some days. Heaps of good colours. Fill your tacklebox.

4. Mask Vibes for hopping/Jigging. Not that up on colours these days. I am sure someone will chime in.

5. 5/8 Dam Hot Jigtek Jigheads by Berkley as designed by Matty Fraser with smoke/yellow core 3" Slider tails for casting to Bass.

6. There really needs to be a 6th place, and that is for ice jigs. We started off with the Rapalas then the Rahuas came along and there are all sorts of brands like Nilsmaster getting in on the act for jigging.

That should cover you for SE Qld. Just need variations in colours, sizes and weights.

If you add Barra in there you need the deep Richo Extractor in gold/white for casting, Barra Classics in all sizes/depths/colours for casting and trolling and Predatek Vipers in Bleeding Mullet or gold for trolling. Also B52s to keep everyone happy in gold or silver.
