Bream Lures

[Jedd95]

I was wondering what some suitable lures for estuary breaming are. I fish quite light with 6lb braid main line, with a 4lb leader. So if anyone can help out it would be much appreciated.

mate there is heaps depending on what your budget is, sx40's, px45's sammy65s, bubble cranks, jackall chubbies, the list just goes on and on. also a variety of 2-3 inch plastics with light jig heads. the best thing if new to the scene would be to pop into a place like tackle warehouse and tell them what your wanting to target and your price range and they will usually steer you in the right direction.

cheers

for cheaper ones, go atomic or halco scorpions

and for plastics, 2" shrimp, 3" prong both work well, just slowly reel with pauses and lifts

I know I have said this a few times before on here but i reckon you can't go past the $7 Super Bass from k-mart in the colour in the pic below as a starting point. I've had heaps of success with these on bream. They also have a Super Bream range which have never caught me a fish so go figure :S

Good luck!

Should also mention I always upgrade the trebles - the pack says the lure has quality (mustad I think from memory) trebles - I have found them too soft and they will straighten pretty easy so recommend upgrading.

Cheers.

Apart from the 35mm halco scorpions, they do a 40mm laser pro as well. Micro mullet and Berkley (hard bodies) are also worth a look.

yeh for a great cheap lure, it's hard to go past the 40mm Gold/Black Halco Laser Pro. Flatties absolutely love 'em!

Also the River2Sea Static shad (40mm) in the Orange colour...sensational.

As far as hard boodies go though, in my mind the gun bream/estuary lures are Sx40 pattern 307 and the Jackal chubby in Salmon Roe.

Actually i was trolling an SX48 307 at the mouth of tingalpa creek the other day, in tandem with a Stiffys minnow on the portside...the 307 went 5-zip before the Stiffy got a fish onboard...
