Hi All
Just some more lures I have that I want to try out at some point. Purchased them online from the US a fair while ago. When they arrived I had many of my old faithful lures out in my tackle trays so thought I would clean them up before I unleash these. Also, I have only been chasing redfin mostly or bait fishing so am saving these for trout, somewhere, sometime!!!
Some shallow diving Rapala Shads (including an X-Rap). I haven't seen these (shallow diving) in shops anywhere, well not here anyway. Will try these on redfin eventually too. Mepps spinners, I like pink for trout and I also think the contrasting black/white color will do well. Last but not least some different colored Rapala Original Floaters that I haven't seen here much, if at all. I have a lot of faith in the red / gold color and the silver / yellow color. This looks nothing like any baitfish I have ever seen but I think it will just be a very good color for discolored water like the firetiger pattern.
thanks
Jim

the mepps look like they wil work on reddies. good luck with the trout.

Done a lot of perch/reddies fishing back home in ireland and when spinning for them i couldnt leave home without the mepps blue aglia size 3

Havent had a chance to try it out here yet still looking a spot near melbourne to catch them
Good luck with your new additions mate

Forgot about these! Rapala Husky Jerks and Blue Fox Vibrax Foxtails.

Hey Jim

Those Rapala minnows are excellent, the chartreuse/silver is a top trout lure in the Goulburn and it's tributaries, and the orange/gold colour is great for Black Bream in the Maribyrnong & Hopkins Rivers.
