Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says...
'Oh Shit.....she's awake'
Nagg,
I reckon youve got the barra itch bad mate, how long before you can get a lure in the water .
Will second the classic in gunners colours, but have a bit of a soft spot for black, gold and red classics as well.
In the territory dureing the run off, if it wasnt a big green bomber, dont even bother tying it on
Havent caught a barra on a softy yet, maybe this season.

Brian ,,,, For barra 25 Days 20 hours 30 mins (approx) ....@ Peter Faust ( but I'll be giving some bass & Toga a touch up a couple of days earlier at Cania .... I cant wait ..... as this is a postponed trip from last April .... Nagg
PS .... Best of Luck with a barra on SP (Got my selection for both wild & impoundments)
in march all fish we caught where on the viper 4+ lure trolling around the timber at monduran. Colour silver and black combination. Make sure you have a lure retreiving pole if you troll around the timber it will save you good money.
Night Time - Bills Bugs, Fuzz Bug 100mm. On weed beds 2m or shallower.
Day Time - Killalure River Rat ( Bobby Dazzler) casting amongst trees.
Best of luck.
Hi Nagg my fav list would have to go
1)Classic barra 120 in colours p,m,o
2)classic f18
3)The good old river rat
my all time fav was a green yellow red lure i found at monduron which looked as if it was home made , landed 3 barra in one arvo session all over a metre (biggest my p.b at 110cm)which was lost on the same session to one that out smarted me in the heavy b section timber!!

Hi Nagg yeah i agree but with the vipers i probley own 6 of them all diff colours and sizes but to this day have still never even had a hit on one ?? maybe i dont work that lure right ?what do you think ?
they dont have as good action as the others ive spent many days tuning them in my test tank ( swimming pool haha ) but they just dont give the say feeling as a classic!!
Cheers Craig
B52's my favourite outright. Keen to try these plastic things with tails though.
Craig .... I see them more as a trolling lure rather than casting ?? ... When I'm up at Proserpine & Monduran in the next week or so .... I'll chuck a couple to my mate .... while I fish the Classic ...... That way I can stick with the confidence lure shhhh .... Nagg
PS .... I've never caught a barra on a Viper either ( a few strikes though)
I have a box full of vipers also and havent scored any fish on them. I know Navi [black sheep] and Paul [big ren] swear by them, its definately a confidence thing
Cheers

Yeah the Vipers are a top Lure for Trolling. I havn't registered a fish on them casting... only used them a couple of times for Casting and I didn't like the feel I was getting. Each to their own. Some work their own lures better then others.
