Redfin in dams best lures

[T Curve]

I'm taking my young kids away next week and we are staying at a friends farm that has a dam full of redfin. Having never targeted them before, I'm after some advice on what hard bodies/plastics I should consider for the task. I'd rather fish with lures than bait so I'm only after info re relevant lures.

Cheers and over to you..................

I chased redfin a few times. They are aggressive feeders. They will hit almost any plastic. THe ones that have worked have been the Zman grubs, any kind of paddle tail, blades and hardbodies. Spinnerbaits and all that work too.

Bright reds, greens oranges seem to work well.

Small grubs in bloodworm are my favourite lure. Slow retrieve with short twitches.

3.5cm blades ... Don't waste your money on expensive ones, most $2 blades work a treat

Thanks guys looking forward to the kids hopefully getting onto a few. They haven't quite got the bug yet but I continue to hold out hope.

Yeah I go with 2 inch paddle tails and single tail grubs - but the lakes I fish most often have alot of small fish and I dont like blanking

But there is a theory that says you should fish plastics too big to fit in a small reddies mouth if you want quality - especially at this time of year - coz those little reddies really fire up in the warmer months.
