I suppose you could give them a go but wouldn't think too big.   After all, a successful lure is the Sugapen 95 and that is longer (but not cheap).  The 70mm is worth having too.

The best thing is to have a range of sizes and types - on the day, what doesn't work another might.

Have a look at these posts by mikecatts - he has a range of lures of lures that may help in what to have in your kit.

 

Cheers for that. Didn’t do any fishing today, did alright raking crabs so stuck to that for 2 hours. Might be going in a few weeks so might get a fish in then. In the meantime I can get some of those size 8 hooks.

Yep  Should be about $6-7.

Tackle shops will have them (not bcf etc) so shouldn't need to order (unless you have too).

Can get with some frilly things on the end as well, but wouldn't really bother.

Cheers Anaconda have some but not in stock.  Would the double clutch 75 be too big for whiting and size 10 assist hooks. I’ve got the double clutch 60 and 75. Thinking 60 might be better

They'll be ok, but get some size 8 at some stage - most use 8's.

Yeah xmas/NY ok, but the getting a few fish ain't working too well lol

No worries I’ll have a look now. Are these what I should order?

Yep it's the way to go.  Even add a couple more split rings to give more swing with the hooks.

You can put assist hooks on the belly which of course provides another chance of a hook up, but most don't.

Size 8 assist hooks.

Good luck on Sunday.

Cheers for the reply, That’s good to know. Trebles can be a pain at times. 
 

I have a packet of Atomic Trick Bitz in size #010- NS, I guess that is size 10 and whatever the NS means. Is that size good for YFW? 
 

hope you had a good Xmas and New Year and have been getting a few fish 

I was reading this post and I noticed the Lures just had assist hooks only, no trebles or hooks on the belly. Is that a good way of doing it when chasing YFW? I’m going to target some on Sunday and would like to know so I can change some hooks over. 
 

cheers

Sounds Great, I have been to Port Broughton which is also on the Yorke Peninsula, It has great crabbing off the jetty when the tide is coming in, I have also caught sand whiting, flathead, saltwater catfish, stripped grunter and the occasional tommy ruff and YF whiting, it would be a good experience at port vincent to catch a squid as i have never before and i would like to catch one inshore as i do not have a boat. Thanks Everyone

Hi, reading comment. Thought I ask about Port Broughton, heading over in a cpl off weeks and never fished there. Any tips on where to find YFW? Beach around caravan park?
