Looking at increasing my lure collection over the next few months, mostly trolling lures for pelagics, ie mackerel.Tuna.

I have Halco's and Rapalas,will buy more of those,

What lures make and colour do you guys always stick on first and have confidence with.

Hi Bri

I bought a pack from BCF called the Barra pack I've caught 2 spotted macks now with the one lure from this pack and its been a gold and black coloured one, mainly gold coloured

[Travis]

Id stick with the rapalas and halcos, always smack on a red and white one first :laugh: maybe go some skirts and spoons...

green over gold slimie mackeral

and red head in rapalas and lazerpros

[Bri The Pom]

Halco do a bibless called a trembler is that what you mean, do they work.

Yo-Zuri bonita. my go to lure when trolling for tuna. have trolled em along at up to 10 knots without any problems before

Like others have mentioned rapalas and halco laser pro's. Have trolled a halco giant trembler around a lot last season for one fish. One freak cobia.

Personally have found halcos to be more productive than rapalas. Found little to no difference in productiviy between colours.

For a higher speed bibless lure try the river 2 sea ones they perform well and come rigged with big singles rather than trebles so are capable of hooking and landing billfish etc.

Dear God yes they work! I took a dozen of these up to Seisia with me when I went up there and didn't bring a single one back. The scars and teeth marks on them were just insane and I would never go chasing mackerel without them! In saying that, the big trevs loved them too ;-)

I don't do much of that kind of fishing anymore but everyone I know that goes chasing macks have these in their kit. The sound they make and the action on the lure is what got me to use them - just looked too good to not catch fish.

The ones I used were the H57 baitfish, H69 bonito, H52 fluro green and H50 pilchard. Check them out here - http://www.halcotackle.com/gtjig.html

If I was chasing them, I'd have some of these for sure! I've heard good reports of the river 2 sea ones as well!

Good luck and post a report when you get back! I hope you get some good photos!

Cheers,

Shorty

halco's are good.rapala's too.

starlo squidgie slick rigs 130mm drop bears are a fantastic allrounder good to have in the tackle box.you can troll em (fast as well) cast and retrieve and drop em straight to the bottom to get a feww reefies aswell a good all round lure bang for buck I reckon.

also look at williamson lures,they have a great range of soft rubber troll baits pre rigged.
