[Angus]

Guys courtesy of Fish Head check out the latest front page article on the new "Dead Bait" lure craze.

As someone who has personally loved these lures in both the Gold Coast canals for bream, through to my first thready caught on lure in the NT I am keen to see what these new models have to offer!

Just finished reading it - Thanks Fish Head

Great read. Thanks Duncan!!

I was wondering if there were other models of bent minnow type of lures.. and I guess there are

Would love to see how they go over the reef flats up north on coral trout etc. Although I cringe at the though of how much it would cost when you would keep getting bricked.

Enjoyed the read and just what I need, another excuse to buy more lures...

[Fish Head]

Thanks for the replies,I enjoy fishing with anything that is a little different or out of the ordinary and these definitely fit the bill!

Henry, I'm waiting to get some of the big Living Dead lures in. They go as large as 175mm which is perfect for big pelagics or angry reefies.

Cheers

Duncan, I know it is almost Fish Head taboo as you target bigger fish than me, but for the skinny water etc are there any other brands that make smaller dead baits like the OSP Bent Minnow 76 or even smaller?

[Fish Head]

Hi Angus,

There is a prototype Living Dead Special in 70 or 75mm length. I'm trying to get hold of it for some creek bassing, should be a killer!

I haven't seen any other small ones yet, but I'm sure it is just a matter of time.

Cheers Duncan!

I would love to know more when that has come out...

Dead Baits were bloody brilliant for Henry and I in the NT and I would love to have a couple more options for my regular fishing down here:

[Angus]

Also Duncan have you heard of many people targeting cod on that? They would create sufficient disturbance I would imagine?

[Fish Head]

Hi Henry,

Hows this for a mini Dead bait? 45mm 3g sinking stickbait

[Angus]

Got mine already

Mate they look good and cant wait to try them out. These are similar to the little chromes we throw on Nordic State Areals for trevs at Dunwich so looking forward to trying these in the same manner...
