Think outside the square

Interesting to see so many lures up for offer these days.

I get the impression that many Bream fishermen seem to be very comfortable with 1-2 types, makers without paying attention to what else is on offer and are not willing to experiment with anything else, even though other lures may be more productive than the old favourites.

If I see another colour chart, I'll go mad I'm sure

I feel much the same way, Ace of Spades...

[Ace of Spades]

Glad someone agrees with me

Just wondering if Pros on the circuit are using the same old favourites or do they try track down lures that may give them that advantage in comps? Hmmm I wonder.

Ever gone out fishing with something new and killed the pig? I wonder why that could possibly be? is it because the fish have never seen that lure,action or colour before? Hmmm I wonder

Someones posted yet more colours

Doctor I keep seeing lttle fish in many colours, everywhere I look I see them I'm even starting to see them in my sleep.

Sir sounds like you are suffering from Ecomania

I actually find the opposite.

I mean, my only real experience with breamers is online and a very small circle of friends and we all basically use the same lures...

But it appears very fad like (to a sort of outsider), everybody uses the same few things, the latest and greatest if you will. Baby vibes, SX40's, Gulp, no doubting their effectiveness but I don't think any old favorites ever actually stopped catching fish, just stopped getting tied on. I think alot of people seem to like keeping up with the Joneses.

I know I do it myself, I have to buy and try all the latest and greatest gear to see for myself. But I rarely think anything is that much better than last years favorites.

I actually find it refreshing when someone posts a report of a ripper day on a Scorp or Laser Pro. But then I am sure these were once seen as the lastest and greatest fad.

Looks like I'm stuck on the fence, without the latest and greatest, there would be no old faithfuls to reach for when the next new thing kicks in and doesn't work for you.

Then there are ones like myself that fish lures like laser pros 95% of the time, old favs and still do very well on them.

cheers

[Ace of Spades]

Agree with you there Richo,

Still plenty of oldies but goodies around, who knows they might come back in flavour again.

Lures catch more fishermen than fish.

Mate - my saying is much older than yours

Dont go placidly into the night - what are some other Brands you would like to see people using.

[Ace of Spades]

Some of my favs as follows, Luckycraft Bevy Shad, Luckycraft EBR, Smiths Crystal Alive, Smiths Shirasu Minnow, ZipBaits Rigge 35F Deep, ZipBaits Khamsin Jr, Tiemco Stick Minnow,

Theres a plenty more that work well including Jackalls, Megabass etc, and what do you know all available in Aus now.

Maybe just shovelling the proverbial, but would be great if we had more posts of guys talking more about other things for a change.

Thanks for the encouragment not to be placid Yellow door,will do my best mate, grrrr grrrr grrr

Every one to their own, i try anything that i think might be a chance to get a bream with, it is fun just getting on line, reading mags and visiting retail outlets, searching for that perfect bream lure that no one has yet found.

[Ace of Spades]

Thats half the fun of it I reckon.
