Looking For A Lure

[Gordie]

Hoping someone canput me onto a supplier of soft plastics.

What I am looking for is a 'Cherabin look a Like'.

Some years ago we were fishing in the Territory and using live Cherabin for Barra, deadly !

The shrimp are in the Cherabin family. I have a few shrimp and prawn look a likes but would dearly like to get onto some large ones.
I would hope they would be around 150 to 200mm long.

Great if you could help.

Regards Gordon

hi dan these are actually a soft plastic , but the prawnstar is agreat lure also.these prongs are in all sizes and are great for heaps of species. cheers bdowdy..brett

[Gordie]

Thanks fellas

I will arm myself with a few. My first Barra was on a DOA Terra Eyes (I may have the spelling wrong) and it would only have been around 60 mm long so they dont have to be large, but the big thing is the bright red eye.

Yeah mate i just thought Gordon may have been using prawnstar's?


Gordon if i can ask where did you stay at the Daly was it Sinclair's? cos Harold there swears by terra eye's and prawnstar's....just wondering.

Dan.

Dan we stayed at the Daly River Pub. Couldn't get over the river and the guide was a Darwin fellow (Mullys Fishing tours) in a long banana boat.

The correct spelling is terra eyz i think. They show up on DOA website.
