Anyone like white lures?
I remember reading an article by a Fly fisherman and he said all you need for saltwater fishing are white clousers in various sizes.
So I've recently bought 280 white plastics and been testing the theory - mainly chasing pinkies and Reddies and its doesnt seem to hurt catch rates - but I dont spose they arent the ultimate in choosy predators Last edited by yellow door 1; 03-07-2018 at 06:10 AM. |

Yeah even when they're in a frenzy, I've seen salmon show a preference - 10 anglers on a pier, all casting soft plastics into a washing machine - white lures were the winners that day aswell

White singe & dbl tail sp’s are the fall back guys. The old mr twister is very reliable to get a feed to take home

Found white SP are one lure you can catch a mullet on with a degree of consistency.
Had some success on the Squidgy Drop bear for flathead.

Yeah I figure alot of bait fish are silver/white in colour so its not a bad choice

I mucked around with 6 inch sandworms with stingers in the tail for little yellow eye mullet - a brisk constant jittery retrieve through a school often got attention. But bait was more effective and I was collecting livies so constantly putting the stinger back in the tail gets old quick Last edited by yellow door 1; 03-07-2018 at 08:48 PM. |

Yeah I had a little calamari mauling my white plastic the other day - it definitely doesnt put them off

There can be alot of water between schools when land based, so I wanted to make sure my lure wasnt sneaking past the fish. |

Thanks for that - Yeah I've found the little fellas to be aggressive and enthusiastic lure hitters at times - its just their mouths are too small to grab the hooks

About half of my 70 odd surface EP lures are white, my go to Mulloway plastic is also white.
