hi fellas,
i will be spending a week at awoonga in oct. i have all the usual barra armoury but as a new comer to barra fishing i like to keep things simple & concentrate more on technique, so i will fish surface, plastic & hard body but probably only a couple of each. if you could take one hard body lure to awoonga what would it be ? & what colour ? look forward to replys
cheers,
brett

Hmmmmmmm, no nibbles yet, So I'll aveago.
Brett, with my limited Awoonga experience totalling a grand total of 3 trips, if I was forced to take only one HB lure it would be:

Gaddens Barra Classic in 10+ Bobby Dazzler colour

I know every one's gunna say the best lure is the one that suits the situation in front of you at the time, but I do have a thing for classics, oh the shame, the shame lol


cheers

Mate can never go past a Big B52. Another beauty is the XRap - rigged with larger owners becomes suspending (KILLER). Thats my 5c worth.......

Hardbody...???... How can you choose ! what works one day won,t the next...There is no Hard or Soft lure thats works 100% of the time...So just bring what you have...upgrade the hardware...And see what works for you

I rest my case;)

Listen to Trevs words of advice re the hardware and splits upgrade mate, way more important than lure colour or type, Owner ST66 trebles, hyper wire or Halco 4xx splits are the go IMHO

I guess your No1 lure for any impoundment is the one that caught your last Barra....what works one day may not work the next......your No1 focus is the Treble and split ring upgrade and your leader if your in the timber and attention to detail such as your knot ........Whitto

The lure you've got tied on is normally the the best lure to catch fish with. The trick is knowing which lure to tie on. I think it will be very difficult to concentrate on technique when fishing in shallows if your lure keeps diving into the weed or similarly if you shallow running lure isn't diving deep enough. Lure selection is a skill in itself. I hate the feeling i get when i realise that a particular lure would do really well here but i didn't bring it. Variety is the key. So far there's only been a few suggestions on lures and out of 4 responses you've got 4 lure recommendations. Assumably they all catch fish.

Too much time, too long in the wrong state, too far from a barra impoundment, too deaf to actually hear what it would sound like, too many drinks, too few origin victories, etc etc.........;)
