Arsenal of lures

[Barraless]

Over the last year my lure collection as grown from inexistant to just a few. I have to date

Slick rigs in various shapes and colours
Gold bombers
Classic Barra (120 +15)
Squidgies Wriggler (In gary glitter some combined with TT rev heads)
and Various barra lures

Most of the lures I have bought have been mentioned from time to time on this site. I am looking to extend my small collection to include a popper or two (mainly for Toga) and prehaps a couple of Jackall. I mainly fish Central QLD for Barra, Sootie Grunter, Toga, Perch and of course Catfish. If anyone has any suggestions on what lures are essential to there arsenal or useful additions to mine would be appreciated

Cheers Matt.B.

Could probably add a few smaller lures to your collection for the toga and sooties. Something around the 60-80mm mark or even smaller. Ecogear make a variety of good quality hardbodies that seem to tempt just about everything but are in the upper price bracket (about 20 bucks each). What ever lure you get i would suggest making sure i has good terminals. I always make sure my lures have either vmc or owner on them, they are sharper stronger and last longer in the salt than cheeper brands. Rapala, river 2 sea, storm, halco are all good brands. Also a couple of spinnerbaits wouldn't hurt either. Don't feel bad about having lures in your collection that haven't landed fish cause you'll never know when you might want them.

Also suggest a few of the smaller Scorpions eg 52 mm and 68 mm i love the bronze crayfish pattern, these will take smaller barra as well. Also a Laser Pro 120 in the bleeding mullet colour and one in the silver scale pattern. (the 3-4 metre diver is great in the sticks)

Good Sooty lure that I use often with good results is the Little Lucifer by Reidy's.

Go for some Spinnerbaits too mate... Always a good 'Go-to' Lure for any species.

This might help you out... www.predatek.com ... They've got everything covered. Very reliable lures.

Reidy's lures like the daley devil, the judge, B52's and lucifers. Great Australian product that works.

the best lure for sootys,I have found are ,the little trout spinners,in tight water,small streams..they are cheap,but work well

Halco Scorpions 52mm will cover the bass, yellas, sooties and togas and the 12.5cm version will nail some barra plus they are tough as nails straight out of the box. The secret to building up the collection is that every time you lose a lure, you replace it with two. Good luck mate

I also like the aussie built range of Tilsans, once again the different sizes will cover all of your likely targets
