Best lures for Tailor

 Hi guys

 

I have always used mulies on ganged hooks when fishing for tailor. This year however, I would like to try lures.  Which lures have proven to be successful?

 Thanks mate.  I sometimes forget that we have a "search" function! Haha

 

I fish from a boat and usually fish late arvos, about an hour before the sun goes down. Best time IMO for tailor fishing!

 Crystal 3D minnow or Saltwater X-rap 10cm in glass ghost are my favourites.

Remove the trebles and chuck a 4/0 single on the back hook. Seems a bit big but high hookup rate and hard for them to throw

 I use bomber lures in green. They work well from the boat.

Oceanside, I'll drop in later next week and empty my wallet! Haha.  Off topic, do you guys stock Pflueger and Finnor reels? Looking at buying either the Trion swx or Affinity 4000 size reels.  Cheers

Pflueger Reels

Sat, 2015-11-07 13:35

Hey mate,

We do stock a variety of Pflueger and Finnor reels, unfortunately we dont currently have those particular reels in store, however we have plenty of Pflueger Salt 40's that I'd highly recommend. They are a verrryy solid reel, full metal body, carbon fiber drag washers and cant be betten for the price.

Edit - P.s we can order the pflueger Trion swx reel from our supplier and have it here within 3 days, Feel free to send us a PM or drop in store for more details.

 

cheers

 Yep, I agree with the Salt series being highly regarded. Had a Salt 50 reel.  Anyway, will discuss further when I drop in. Thanks again!
