cdg81,

Nomad
Squidgie Slick rigs.......................the big ones. Enjoy.
Richie
Richie ..... But how big ......... Don't tease now
NaggAttachment 12354 ..... some of mine ........ But I still think a snagless or Texan rigged SP would be more effective
HI ALL ..... Even though this is a SP thread ....... since most participants have an interest in fishing Hinchinbrook I thought I might post a pic of my GO TO Hard body lures for the Hinchinbrook snags (Some have caught fish & some look like they will ) ....... Anyhow tell me what you think & maybe even post some pics of your own . .... Nagg
PS ..... This is about half of my casting lure collection & doesnt include the bigger trolling / impoundment lures (vipers , barrabaits , reidys & of course BOMBERS!!! )
PPS ...... Since I'm off work enjoying the APEC long weekend ..... I'll put together some photos of the SPs I'll be offering to the Snags
Attachment 12355
The flatrats are good they worked for me are the top left hand corner ones c lures?Also i would go and buy some little lucifers and some livley lures in a green colour and make sure you get some b52 and bombers in the shallow divers and deep divers in gold and green.
Mate if you want to buy some lures then have a talk to lucinda lures he is a member here and gives plenty of advice with the sale of lures

IF IT CAN'T EAT A WHOLE PILLY I DON'T WANT IT
Attachment 12356I reckon these will be the first 3 offerings to the snags ...... Weightless (the power minnow is 4") /// Anyone got an opinion on the best heavy worm hooks (I've used Gamakatsu in the photo but I feel that they will be staightened pretty quickly by any jack or cod ..... May be OK on a smallish barra ........... ..... Nagg
Jackextractor .... shallow divers like these Attachment 12358
Yep the two Flatz rats worked really well on my last trip to Hinchinbrook .... Sadly a pink one was retired due to damage from cod ... The purple one shows it scars from one session (I have a gold one which I reckon could be a winner) ........ The C lures were purchased after that trip (but they look the goods to me .... & I think a local makes/made them ..... Nagg
PS Thankx for your comments
PPS ..... I will catch up with Luigi when I'm up there
Steve i do upgrade to hooks on my prawnstars..Another trick my cousin(sorry dave...another beer on the tab) has got me on to is putting a couple of beads in between the hooks in the body cavatity to stop the lure getting stuck on its self when you do a flick.. it works a treat and does add to the lure...orange beads makes it look like carrying eggs or glow in the dark green in deeper water or late afternoon for a bit of extra spice.. has stopped the problem totally of getting caught up..
great idea poppers, was brainstorming what i could do to prevent this. would add a smidgin of weight, but wouldn't sink like a stone. prodlem solvered
