Gday Jaycob,

two lures that have been working well for me lately are strike pro micro vibes and atomic hards. Theyre both well priced (for a bream lure) and both come in some sexy colours!!

happy shopping

With that money buy atleast one strikepro microvibe for your kit. They are cheap and good. I get them for $11.

Got some atomic hardz to try this sunday. Hopefully i can get a fish or 2 on them. They are only $15 which is pretty cheap for the quality of them.

Yeah i have seen those Kokoda's.............be interesting to see if anyone has caught a bream on these.............i am sure someone has.

Its funny but i find the slower and less action I put into micros the better they work where i fish. I tried to introduce lifts that get the vibration going and got nothing.

I've caught quite a fish on kokoda sprogs. If you lighten up the lure eg replacing trebles with 2 single hooks you can turn it into a floater and gives it a MUCH better action. The bibs are crap though. I've snapped a few on pylons. The are OK lures if you're on a really tight budget but they're not worth my effort anymore.

Kokoda wee whops (the newer chubby copies) are a better than the sprogs but they leak after a bit of abuse and sink. They're probably OK if you never smack your lures against hard structure. Not worth my effort anymore either but if you're on a budget...

I've caught fish on the Chubby copies, just give the tow point a tweak with the pliers if it doesn't swim strait and give them a spray with inox before you put them away. I use them mostly for throwing into areas that look a bit scary. I can stand losing a few where loosing chubbys gets expecive

Digga3, get your folks to help you with the gramma & punctuation of your first post on this thread and I will send you, free of charge and postage four suitable hard-bodied lures.

You have to re-post the whole text in context with correct spelling.

NB: i, wat, thanx and relitivly are not real words.

I know you can do it, because you had the correct comma use after 'diving' and a capital 'I' for I'm, never mind the missing apostrophe

That would be a $70 saving to spend on the lures everyone else suggests.

Thats the teacher coming out in Mr Morris.

Must agree though that it's pretty annoying trying to decipher some of these posts sometimes
