1: Mepps spinners, Black fury (blade colors, black, gold & copper). sizes #00 (1.5gm) & #0 (2.5 gm) as well as Aglia's & Bug spinners... :thumbsup:
2: Rapala F-3 Rainbow & brown trout patterns & Juvenile rainbow trout, as well as F-5's same patterns.
3: Strike Pro Smelta rainbow pattern. 2.5 gms
4: Muzza's 6 cm minnow lure's rainbow & brown trout models. 4 gms

I do have a few other hard body lures as well as some Blue fox spinners courtesy of Rex Hunt that I use from time to time as well, but the list is in the priority order of use... 1: Mepps used 90% of the time, 2: Rapala, 7 % of the time, 3 & 4 : Strike pro & Muzzas 2% of use & the others make up for the 1%. This is only approx % but it wouldn't be far of how I use them.. Also have a nice little Rapala X-Rap that MartyA sent me, will be giving that a workout once the trout season re-opens too, great little light weight lure it is..

Does the colour of the blades and the dots make much difference with the black furies? Is there one you find you keep coming back to?

Did you still manage to catch that big rainbow Adrian after it destroyed the spinner?

Not a lure man for trout myself but how good are Adrian,s photo,s?
He catches so many trout, there,s got to be some great advice there for those who follow the craft.

No Marty, lost it when it straightened the hook.. wasn't a happy chappy either as it was around the 2kg mark.. Would have been a PB rainbow for the Mersey River too... :down:

cheers
