Bream , Jacks and estuary Cod

[Richo80]

Chasing a lure that would go good for mangrove jack bream and estuary cod , brands and details would be great , if anyones had any luck with something in particular , or somethings proven would be xcellent , just starting out lure fishing and all info much appreciated , cheers!!

[Shrimpo]

Bream lures and Jack lures are completely different, However cod and jack lures are quite similar, Look for something around 50-80mm Long for cod and jacks and something around 30-50mm for Bream.

Yeah totally agree, I had an sx48 trebble straightend last trip out by a medium sized jack (mid forties). go something that can handle a bigger fish for jacks and Cod

Ecogear SX60's account for a few cod. Infact,all of the SX range from Ecogear will get Bream or Cod.

Jack's apparantly go crazy of gold bombers and other gold lures as well

[Richo80]

awesome lads , super quick replies , jus ducked to the fridage for another coldy and my questions were answered upon return!! Lee ..with the ecogear sx60's , rapala superwraps and rmg scorpions , and particular colours and sizes? cheers!!

[pcsolutionman]

MAte as Cowfish said they like Gold but I have found anything bright and load

[Richo80]

best to go bright natural colours? or go pinks/purple/fluro's etc? and what sizes? also what depth , cheers!!

Richo you'll find a lot of lures in the sizes for jacks are around the 3-4 metre divers. Casting a jacks you want to flick it right into the snag and bring it out, usually its deep enough to throw such a lure in.

Prawnstars have also accounted for their fair share of jacks (or more than!) red is a good colour there (or so others reckon)

I think I'll have to have another crack at a jack now that my kayak is fixed:)

[Richo80]

Cheers heaps Terry and Matt and everyone else that replied , might hit bcf today and grab a few , im new to this site , been here 2 weeks and i think its an awesome with heaps of helpful info , cheers once again;)

Well I think everyone else has said what I was going to recommend. Being the trusty old gold bombers and lively lure mad mullets. With jack lures I try and not spend too much (stick to the aussie brands) as you're casting them into nasty country and your chances of losing them are high

[badboygibbo]

Apparently Tilsan Barra in an orange colour is a great jack lure

[HookedOnTackle]

I have talked to a few tackle shop staff and all of them have suggested something with a gold and red. Tilsan Barra in jaffa, ecogear has a red and gold number, lively lures have one as well and the new stiffy minnow 110 crash diver in gold bleeding mullet (i think) feels really solid and did well on Barra and Salmon in the the squidgy 5 dvd.

The hooks look a little frail on out of the packet bombers, so might be a good idea to upgrade to owners. I could be wrong as have only had casting practice with them myself.

[Dazzamcgee]

Yeah I would say tilsan barra in jaffa colour is at the top of the list for jacks however any lure that is red, gold or orange in colour will bring them unstuck regardless of brand.

My PB was caught with an ORANGE berkley frenzy!
