Hi John

The crackjack 48mr and 48dr sounds like the one you are after for your chosen depth range.

Check out the page on the link below for diving depths of all Crackjacks

In brissi the best stores are tacklewarehouse (speak to Adam or Peter) and the tackleshop in carseldine (speak to Steve)

Hope that helps

Rob

Hey Bulldog,

Depends on what is at the bottom. Sand? or rocks and weeds?

If it's sand, I'd go medium or deep so that its hitting the bottom and kicking up sande.

If its weeds or rocks, stick with the shallow or mediums. Otherwise you'll be replacing them often.

Makes sense Ive just got to work out by the depths on the lures a couple to have on board ,when you look at them it doesn't say Medium ,shallow etc.wish it did for us green horns .

The website has the depth ranges for the different Crackerjack lures.

When you purchase the lures it will say on the box whether it is SR/MR/DR - if you've aleady taken it out and are still unure just go off the size of the bib on the front of the lure.

The bigger it is should indicate that it's a deeper diving lure.

Goodluck with the crack-jacks they are my absolute fav. estuary harbody

ok thanks fellas,all makes sence,.any recomended colours or go to colours.id be mainly in 0 to 2 metres water,hopefully trolling chasing bream,lizards estuary fish,cheers john

Blue Gill, Bleeding Tiger and R60 are three colours that I like but they all work well. Like 51MPL has mentioned if you look at the bib on them it is pretty easy to tell whether you are using an SR/MR/DR, good luck with them they are my faves along with the Greedy Guts

[51MPL]

Ghost HG Gill has accounted for a LOT of my fish so definitely get one or two of those!

no-one knows who i am ant

[bulldogs195461]

ok one last thought,if i was in say 1 to 1.5 depth of water,over sand and i wanted to bounce it off bottom,.would i need a 1.5 to 2metre diver?or if your in that depth is that the lure you would use say up to 2metres,is there a way to bounce them or do they just do it.john

A perfect way to fish lures trolling is to start with the lure you think may work on the day.

Gradually move in shallower until that lure starts to touch the bottom and then maintain that depth line.

You only want the occasional bump and not to have the lure continually dragging along the bottom.
