How Big is TOO BIG for Bream

[Steve-Bream-Fishing]

Breamers,

I'm just curious as what size lure you would consider too big for Bream? 60mm 70mm Bassday has a surface lure for bream at 70mm.

Thoughts..

Cheers

I used a 70mm Damiki Seami to upgrade at the VicBream Classics Glenelg River Round and it pulled a 32cm fork bream. Not the biggest fish but still upgraded one of the 29cm babies we had.

I have some 90mm lures that only come out when looking for a BIG kicker

[ruski]

Regularly use 100-110mm plastics

Hard bodies, the biggest that I have confidence in, are Nories and Stiffy minnows.

You could catch a bream on a 200mm lure if you fished it long enough at the right time and firing spots

If you go through east coast comp results over the last 3 years, quite a few comps have been won using the Megabass DOG-X surface lure, so that size is a regular catcher
Length: 80 mm

I remember seeing a post on here about someone using a Rapala 11cm Jointed minnow in tazzy about 6 months ago. Personally for consistency I'd stick around 40-55mm but slim profile lures up to about 10cm have worked for me in the past.

If bream are in the mood they'll smack at anything. I get small bream having a go at stuff like bombers, anthrax 100 etc all the time. You don't often hook up but when you do it is always amusing.

In saying that 70mm surface stick baits are one of the most effective bream lures for me in a lot of situations.

My favorite stick baits range from 60-80ml. You might sacrifice numbers but that will be made up for in quality. Having said that it also depends on what mood the bream are in and what system you are fishing!

Ecogear MW62&70 are very effective, as are Zippy rigge 80's!

Pretty much what the other boys have said,I have got rid of most of my lures that are under 4grms just found there is no need to go that finesse. I am mainly landbased fishing so I like to be able to punch out the lures and cover some ground when fishing and in all weather.

This little guy wasn't put off by my jackall flashbelly 100mm fishing at a river mouth.

Some great comments fellas cheers . I had better get some 70mm to put in the box as from what I've read 70mm is a good size for an upgrade lure

[TheBreamReaper]

90mm lure- Bream is lucky to be twice that LOL

[ar-elbers]

Great topic, with so many lures around in so many sizes what actually works? Thanks for the tips guys I will have to look at getting some of those upgrade lures myself.
