plankton 725 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 If you are going to run circles on your metal lures just use one, no need for two. Most rods will have the lure rating written on the blank somewhere, if not just attach the weight in question and see how it feels just hanging there, if it seems to be overloading the blank then it's too heavy. Those maria lures look nice but too dear for salmon metals imo, you can get raiders at Big W for half the price and I imagine they'll do the job just as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aldingabeachfisho 1 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I have been using the duplex maria long cast minnow , out fishes any other lure i have used on the salmon. past 2 years urhookedfish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckemback 0 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 if IMG_6253.jpg isn't a mullet than what is it??ok.... its a whiting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urhookedfish 12 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 :woohoo: :woohoo: Okay went to Anglers last night and finally got my Mucho's although I got the 35gm BPH (one with pink in it) but was talked into getting a 45grammer as well. Which seems like a good choice as 35gms isnt much casting weight for my 5-9kg sticks. Anyway by buying both patterns, I will be able to test both patterns against each other, although one is slightly bigger than the other in profile. The BLH (Blue sparkly pilly one) I got is the 45grammer, so cant wait to see just how far I can cast this and if the fish think its dinner!!BRING IT ON SALMON!! :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:PS there is still a few on there shelves but you can see that some patterns are selling out fast. I still want to get a 45grammer with green top of its back so hoping to get that one soon too.! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tako 0 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I just had a look at a few lures I bought a month ago because I thought they looked pretty good, both are mucho's BLH 12g and 35g. They look sexy hey , will be chucking a single on the 35g though. Do they come in any size around 60g? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 just the usuals for me.. Halco slices/twisters in gold/silver some with holes some with lips invarious sizes from 30-60gram, Gillies, Raiders, Lasers and pretty much anything cheap due to the loss rate of salmon slugs. all lures are usually 30-60 gram in a variety of colours from silvers golds to blues and greens. in reality.. a salmon will take anything that moves if its schooling.. ive seen them hooked on snap swivels!

archerfish 685 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi chuckembackStill trying to work out what sort of fish is in your picture IMG_6253.jpg in one of your previous posts (caught at Gunyah Beach). You seem to think it isn't a mullet, but as near as I can tell, it seems to be a Sea (or Bully) Mullet [Mugil cephalus].http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/375937/Sea-Mullet.pdfIf it is, them I'm surprised it went for a lure - although very little is impossible in the world of fishing!

rooney 0 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Tako Yes the mucho`s do come in the 60g aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreShIe-FisHeR : D 0 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thats not a mullet or a whiting its DEFINATELY a good sized tommie ruff "note the dark tips on tail" and its "big yellow eye" chuckemback 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreShIe-FisHeR : D 0 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 ps i have caught tommies on small metal slugs on numerous occasions, thats a good size one though!!good stuff chuckemback! chuckemback 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckemback 0 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 archerfish i believe its a tommy mate....and so did the others i was fishin with.the Biggest iv caught and measured. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
archerfish 685 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 On second thoughts, you're probably right chuckemback. Looks like the vertical bars which are prominent in juvenile Tommies (or Australian Herring, take your pick!) tend to fade as they get older.Thanks & cheersaf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mully_madness 1 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 personally i think salmon will eat just about anything that swims past ive used plenty of different lures diff colours styles all soughts on salmon and i find the $2 chromies to work aswell if not better on some days then the $25 duplex or maria lures as some people call em .In my time i find if they are there then chances are theyll hit pritty much anything you can thrwo at em and get a decent speed on .MM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
