Flats lures

[Hotshot]

What are your go to lures for fishing the flats?

[fishincomau]

Would have to say Zipaits Khamsin JR SR, Damiki Saemi and Jackall Chubby Shallow.

Cheers,
Fishin

Do these cast good..... How deep do they go?

For their size and weight the Khamsin Jr SR is one of the best casting lures on the market, they have a magnetic casting system known as the Mag-drive and MZ-19 tungsten alloy weight which has a much higher specific gravity than standard tungsten.

The diving depth of the Khamsin Jr SR is around 1m

I quite like the zipbait raphaels as they cast even further than the khamsins. And you can really jerk them about then when they sink they shimmy horizontally like a wounded fish.

definatly khamzins and chubbies for me and depending on the depth surface lures px's sammys nw pencils and stuff can work a treat and lets face it who does love surface fishing

Love surface fishing now that i am really into it, and i am loving the sound of the khasmin and i had a look at the zipbait raphaels and ive never seen them but they look great too.....
I also have to take a look at the jackall chubbies, are these at all similar to any of the atomic hardz lures?

not that i am biased, but i use the Damiki MU-SP. it casts well, really well and i tend to use it as a jerk bait with rod twitches to give an erratic retreive. That is my favourite flats bait. Just before xmas i was fishing a flat and had 3 rods all rigged with different colours of the MU-SP.

That is my unbiased view

I just googled a pic of the damiki mu sp..... Is this over 50 mm?????
And another qustion, the flats that i fish are pretty clear with tons of yabbies, so i was thinking natural colours, but i m not sure which ones.....
Some pics of lures ( with bream attached if u want !!!) would be much appreciated, i get mixed up with colour names so being able to see the colours on the lures would be a big help!!!
Thanks, hotshot.

As others have mentioned Zipbaits khamsin SR, it has a very good rolling action even on the slowest of retrieves. Also the Zipbaits Rigge 56F is a good flats lure, shallow running and works very well with a twitch and pause retrieve.

Good ol' gold scorpian 52- a great cheap lure that still works...

Tillins Cobras also are fantastic.

my go to flats lures are sx40, px45, zappa55 and ebr for whiting and bream.
aswell as megabass trick darter 80 for flatties in the shallows.

Pretty sure the EBR by luckycraft is a sinking lure.
