My lures had their weekly bath
« on: September 20, 2014, 07:47:12 PM »
The lures I carry in my waist pouch every morning when spinning. They had their weekly bath in hot water to remove any salt residue. What lure would you add to my collection?

Mmm, that Halco Rooster looks good! What is it's weight! Jip, I lost my pink candy the other day in one silly moment - still needs to go and buy a replacement!

Nice collection Steenie. Only thing I would add is a Sheppie Bomber...?

 Good one yes, I have a big sheppie bomber for my 14 ft rod, but should get a 1.5 oz version for my 11 ft Amia. Have not seen any at Basil Manning - wonder who stocks them in Dbn?

Oh I know the blank sessions very well - had a whole Monday - Friday this week of that - Hahaha!
My goodies are all ready and packed to start fresh again tomorrow morning early - conditions looks quite good for tomorrow morning, and then a lot of swell from Tuesday - Thursday it appears.

Looks like the Halco Roosta Popper 135 will be perfect for my setup. The 135 weight is 49 grams.

I'm sure they were designed as boat lures primarily, for GT's Tuna etc. But they actually throw and perform amazingly well from the beach. Chris Quinton was the first oke I saw throwing them in the surf one day when nothing was happening, and now we chuck them all the time...!

Awesome stuff Steenie. You must get your hands on some Halco Twisty Spoons though, undoubtedly my favourite lure.

Thanks! I've got a Halco Twisty - look on my photo, 2nd spoon from left at the bottom. Fitted with a single hook. Used it again this morning - it has a superb action!

Got it at Basil Manning. I got a couple of shad this year on the clear one already. It is one of Barry Wareham's favorite ones in the needlenose range.

Thanks, haven't seen any in the shops this side. Will keep an eye out, like the look of that lure.

LOL my bad Steenie. Get some more maybe. The 30 grams are good for Snoek, the 55g for Kingies and Tuna, and the 5,10 and 15grams for estuary fish.

I have the 30 g one as well, it throws very well indeed for its weight.
