G'day Fozz.
that's a Rapala CD5 in rainbow trout pattern.
Normally the best lure in the Barwon is McGrath diver in firetiger, but Mrs. Slates chose the "prettiest' one and flogged me senseless that day!

hehe

Thanks Slates .
That would be right , you spend heaps of time out fishing ,trying all your tried and tested methods , and you take someone out with you using something you probally would'nt ,and they have better results than you !!!!
I live in West Oz & you only get the odd Red Fin of that size ( plenty of little ones ) anyway I've ritten down the name of that lure , so next time I'll give that a go .
Thanks again .
