Lucanus Jigs, do they really work people ask me.
I think the were the success story of my weeks fishing.
these things caught fish when bait & plastics wouldn't get a touch.
don't know why they just do. Jimmy had a little trouble with his as the hooks were tangled in the tow point on the lure i think, something that you need to check

Marty.

Fishing 85-100ft, varyting from 25 to 50km from Arno Bay, no more that 40kms offshore though.
using for plastics mixture 4kg-10kg line & mostly 40lb mono leader.
depending on tide 28-60gm jig heads get down ok in most tides.
lucanus jigs get down great
cheers

What rods & reels are you fellas using for the SP's?

[snagking]

I love the invisible chicken, well done!

[Bigash]

What rods & reels are you fellas using for the SP's?

for use on charter shimano symetre 4000's on starlo stix tournament max spin rods 4-7kg i think, a good beefy setup with 20lb braid, if to use myself all the time i would run max of 15lb maybe 10lb braid with a midspin rod, for the punters i go a bit heavier, some have broad shoulders???

i also run a shimano aspire 2500 with 4kg braid to use myself & run on same rods.
the lighter line gets down quicker & has a bit more feel when in 80-100ft.

cheers
