Thats the way Bobby! Nice fish mate, does looks like quite a 'fat girlie' aswell.
Those Vipers are gems arnt they? I cant fish for Barra without at least 2 of them in my lure box. Plenty of other lure options when it comes to Barra, but no thanks i'll stick with predatek . Cant wait for the new range to come out...
For Bass - Jackalls or Sqidgy Fish rigged with Beetle Spins.
For Barra - Predatec Viper in Chrome or Ghost Grey and Gold Husky Jerk (all 1 Mt deep models)
Bass :- 5cm Rapala Skitter Pop in lime frog.
Jackall Bros TN/60 in purple snake.
Barra :- Rob Gadens Classic Barra Pro 12ft in gold mullet dazzler.
Bills Bug Fizzer in black withsilver fleck.
Make sure ya up grade ya hooks and split rings.Stock ones are 3X I think,But I've had 6Xs straightened out on me!So it pays to spend a few more bucks on Barra insurance.Put VMC 6X hooks and Halco 4XX rings on em for ya best chance.
Tarpon :- Knols native minnow in clear with green scale.
Bennets Baby Merlin in silver with black back.
I recommend chemicaly sharpened hooks on these due to their bony mouth and acrobatic antics to help ya stay connected.
Yellas :- Mini Blitz Baga in Black and white.
Flicks Cobra in pink and black.
Thats some fish to straighten out 6X Rings mate! Got a wide range of rings and trebles in the shed which i am always upgrading on ALL my lures. Wish i could remember the sizes of them all so i could note them, but ive had a brain snap . Might do so in the coming days if it got time...
Nice chunky Barra pic aswell mate . Is that the Rob Gaden Classic you were on about hooked up in his gob?.
Sure is.Another pattern that worked surprisingly well in the same lure at night was Elton John(See pic).I usually use this pattern in the day time as it is a fluro colour but it produced well in the dark also until a chrome monster decided she wanted it more than me. Barra have the ability to straighten hooks when one set of hooks is in the top jaw and another is in the bottom jaw.Then when they open their mouth (As with their imploding feeding action)it provides a tremendous amount of leverage on your gear which is out of your control,There is no way I had enough power in my tackle to straighten these hooks as I was only running 20 lb braid when this happened.Thats nothin!I've seen snapped rods,Broken landing nets,A rear tow point ripped clean out of a Manns stretch 12,A spooling on 30 lb braid,And a pair of Bogga grips taken from a bloke by one that was fair dinkum on havin some new jewelry.Personally I've had 6Xs bent like paper clips and one day I was using 80lb Spiderwire as a leader to get more depth and had that absoultly destroyed.If theres a weak link they'll find it in a hurry.Gotta love em.
Thats the thing with Barra, you cant give them any respect - once you land them in your boat, then the respect flows.
Ive seen my fair share of rod snaps with these Barra too mate. Give them the slightest opputunity to get away, they'll take it with open arms - even if it means taking your precious tackle, and outfits for that matter to the rubbish heap.
