Post your lures

[Dan23]

This is funny.

My dad was at the Motackle shop in coffs yesterday and bought me one @ $39. He knew I'd want it because I believe in casting with your right and and winding with the left if you are right handed. I can't wait to try it.

I read a few things about it and they are supposed to be good. I think they probably just haven't sold many so are clearing them out.

Wow see the biggger pfluegers for $59

yeh but fisher have a look at the 66 size left hand model its $39

Lee

[Fisher_90]

Ohh i thought u were talking bout the low profile red ones, so 66 size what kinda fish would u be targeting with that? Idk bc sizes

[pcsolutionman]

well it holds 200yds of 17lb so small river sharks,jacks,Cod threadies etc

Lee

[Fisher_90]

Dam if only they were right handed for 39.

[pcsolutionman]

yep same thought here, the right handed models are $59 still very cheap

[Dan23]

Why does everyone wind with their right hand if they're right handed?

It means you have to keep changing your grip.

I'll test out the Trion at christmas and catch a jack and a Bass on it and tell you guys if it's any good.

[shortie]

Im left handed and i could not think of anything worse than winding with your left hand. I can understand that a reel of this configuration would be better for a right hander as their stronger hand is doing all the lifting on the rod. But then again i suppose its all what you get used to.

It's a simple answer Dan23. More dexterity is required to wind than to lift.

[Fisher_90]

Im right handed for writing but my left hand is stronger lol

[Dan23]

I used to wind with my right hand until a few years ago someone pointed out that it was actually incorrect. So I trained myself to wind with my left. Now fishing is much more pleasurable because I can use my strong hand to work the lure and my weak hand to simply wind.

I have a few bait casters with right hand wind and I haven't tried a left hand wind so I'm looking forward to it.

Usually when I'm bait fishing I use right hand wing still because I'm used to it and you aren't constantly casting and retrieving.

Also for high speed metal spinning I still wind right hand because it can wind faster.

[fishyman]

i have just recently changed from swapping between casting and retrieving so i wind with my left.

so much easier

[faulked]

what do you guys reacon on the phluegers at that price hard to pass up on:)

[Fisher_90]

Oath and im still thinking of getting a right handed one at $59 if u want a left handed one then their definitely a bargain

[faulked]

what size and type line would you guys put on the 66 size phlueger

[Fisher_90]

For targeting what?

[faulked]

a line class to suit reel more than anything in particular

[Fisher_90]

I'd go a 20lb probably

[brisbane_boy]

lol yeh sure did, i rekon a new set of trebles and it would be a good jack lure lol

[brisbane_boy]

Thanks for the tip mate wasent to sure wat would go after it

cheers

Duncan

[reef_raider]

no worries, just replace the split rings and put a similar size set of owner trebles on it and maybe a new split ring on the bib, the one thats on their looks a bit dodgy

[Dan23]

Yeah,

I've got one a couple of those timberwolf lures off magazines. Don't bother with them. The likelyhood of catching something of them is pretty remote I reckon.

That said I do recall someone saying they hooked a big salmon trolling on in the river. They didn't land it though.

[reef_raider]

they are pretty crap quality thats for sure, but i do think if you did a few upgrades it should be alright... they are a good colour too i rekon

[chubbstar]

Not much, but it's a start:blush:

Was cleaning up my lures after the classic and putting new Owner trebles on all my favorites when I realised my collection is getting pretty versatile.

I'd be keen to see any other member's tackle boxes to see if I'm overdoing it or whether I have a long way to go.

here's about 80% of my hard bodies. Most of them have upgraded Owner trebles now. [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/lures.jpg

How you feeling Dan - a bit of work to do?

they r as deadly as any other deep divers for large mouth bass

[Dan23]

There's a top water Timberwold this month. I might try it once I replace the terminals. It feels ok in the body but the hooks feel like solder!
