Hi im a little stuck
I am wondering if anyone can help with extremely shellow divers i normally fish with a tango dancer over a shellow weed bank but after landing one or two fish they seem to rip a lot of weed/grassy stuff up and i have to work around the weed i can see floating but i always seem to get about half a dozen twitches and i have weed :'(
I think halco have a really shellow diver but they have no decent coloures in the shops here also lively lures brought out the lure that looks like a arafura but shellower diver so i might give that a go but does anyone know of any other good shellow (about 30cm) divers that would work well for barra ? Or any other ways to work around getting the floating weed ?
any help would be great ;)
cheers BK

Stiffies (boney bream) mate....they are perfect for that....Its what they were actually designed for originally. There is also the stiffy twitch bait out of the same stable which has been going OK (2-3ft)
Just a couple of options.

Depends on what the fish are in the mood for. Like Steve said Stiffy's or Doozers for a reaction bite, or even just a hardbody that you weight for a slow rise or even suspend and change your rod tip to suit the situation. Been playing with some sizmics rigged weedless on tuna around the bay, pretty keen to give it a go on barra when I get up there next. But the suspending storms look okay though they do slowly sink.
Brian (BR65) talks about how to work an arafura rigged to suspend with high rod tip twitches in one of his trips at mondy recently. I did the same with an ecogear BM125 and scored a fish at the end of august though in a different situation cheers Brian. ;D ;D JM on his Fish Awoonga Dvd is working a B52 in the same sort of fashion.
Guess the question is not what lures will do the job rather how you are going to work them???

Shimano had a lure with a shallow bib and prop on the tail.
It worked well in the big dams.
Sorry but cant think of the name.
I know that MO Tackle still have them.

Berkley frogs worked for me at Monduran a couple of weeks ago on a shut down dam. Worked slowly over weed beds or shalow water, great. A hard body that has worked for me is the Intruder! The cheapest Barra lure I've found that actually works!! Slow roled or twitched the action is as good if not better than lures 5 times the price. I know because I've tried them. Any one else had a go with the intruders?
