I know you asked about lures but.....

I've had some success recently on small trevors whilst fishing for gar in 3M of water over reef.

Size 12 hooks on a two hook dropper rig with very light sinker (two split-shots or a tiny barrel sinker)

Often a gar will take one bait and a trevally will rush in to pick up the other hook. The movement excites them.

bait: a tiny bit of squid or fish flesh about 8mm x 5mm single-pinned.

Had them up to 600g on this size bait. I know that's only small, but great fun on a whippy light rod and very light line.

If you want them to come from far and wide - use chicken flavoured dog food as berley.

No run, no fun.
