Hypothetical lure question

[Chopper Taylor]

If you were only able to use 3 lures for the rest of your life what would they be in each of these categories

1. knife jigs
2. barra/jack lures

[Daintreeboy]

Can I trade in my 3 choices of no. 1 for an extra 3 in the second category?

[Chopper Taylor]

no rules man. throw in your favourite SP varieties if you want. I suppose i'm just trying to gather what fisho's "go to" lures are, the ones they use more than any other.

Mate i am not into jigging too much but if i had to choose 3 lures for barra and jacks they would be a 100mm prawn star (natural colour)for jacks and a b52 reidys bomber( in gold of course) and a tilsan big barra(in blue and silver).Thats my 2 bobs worth anyway.All 3 have consistently caught me great fish in the territory estuaries .Hope this helps GOOD LUCK

2. barra/jack lures

What are your favourites there C.T.??

[Chopper Taylor]

I haven't been barra fishing since i travelled around australia in 2001. back then I caught most on the

gold bomber 15A

I'm heading over to Karratha next month for 3 weeks and hope that the

Rapala Husky Jerk might catch me some fish

my all time favourite bream lure down these parts is the

Ecogear SX40F colour 303

when on the NSW north coast my 3 favourite jigs for kings and sambo's are

Zest long bait fish
River2Sea Zero dropper, and
Williamson Benthos speed jig

I don't believe colour is important in deep water jigging. As they said in the movie The Castle - "it's the vibe of the thing"

[BR65]

If had only three lures to use for the rest of my life (is that 3 lures to last your lifetime or your only allowed to use 3 lures for the rest of your lifetime?) I'd buy a cast net with the money and learn how to use it.
