Hi,

I regularly fish sand flats about half a metre to a metre deep with soft plastics but now i want to build up a hard body collection and i was wandering wat would be the best option with hard bodies in these kind of waters.

Cheers

P.S. im land based

G'day Monkey

I like Rapala F5 Minnows for that kind of work, they've got the best action & come in some great colours too...

Have I said I love Rapalas B4?

The River2Sea lures have been mentioned on the site a number of times. Really good lure for flats fishing.

Hi Monkey, not if you can get them where you are yet, but Eddys Lures have recently released a new bream lure, it is ideal for the style of bream fishing your talking about. And are Aussie made and Owned.

Monkey,

The Walpole comp was won in exactly the type of water you describe.

The resounding lure was the Halco Scorpion 52DD and 68Std in Chrome Gold / Orange Back. They can be hard to find, we have a couple in stock.

The River 2 Sea Shed in Gold has also been popular lately.

If there are yabbies ( pink nippers ) on the flats try the rebble crawfish in the clear / orange colour, DEADLY !!!!!!!!!

Rexy Boy calls them Bass Yabbies, are the over in W A ?

They are a majour food sourse for Bream in N S W !

Hi Monkey
Another good lure an worth a try is the Smilin Jack Raw Prawn.
These lures resemble a prawn and have big RED eyes that look backwards. Thay will take bream or flathead & are reasonably priced.

samurai,
any spec to the eddys lures,only ones on the website is a "mini dam buster" but 80cm is a bit too big.
