Beginner Wanting Opinions on His Lures?

[Nathan2003]

Hey guys, this is my first post, hope you can help me.
Me and a mate fish the maribyrnong quite regulary, and we have recently been trying soft plastics, with no success. So im prepared to give HB's ago. What are you opionions on these HB's:

Halco scorpion sinking in orange gold
Smiling jacks hopper(cricket looking thing)
Smiling Jacks Raw Prawn
Juro dunno wat sort(Fluoro pink)
Rex Hunt Shake rattle and roll.

Thanks alot for your help,

Cheers, Nathan

Out of all of those, I am only realy familiar with the scorp and the smilin jack's (raw prawn) pretty good IMO. Have used em' both for bream. Work pretty well for me.

Smilin jacks raw prawn and the scorpion will bring results ,not sure about the others you have mentioned as i have not used them.

If the juro ones are the strikepros then they'd be the pick of the lot I'd say...

The sinking orange and gold scorpion 35 is a winner as well, have caught a plethora of fish on mine. To stop it sinking and make it a bit more snag proof, take the middle treble off. Deopends what areas you are fishing though, no structure Id leave it on.

I am not a big fan of the sinking lures. But the sneaky scorps are really nice, hang down in the water long but will back up off snags most of the time. But out of the ones you listed I am with Richo.

Hey guys, thanks for the reply's,

yea my duro is a strike pro small fry, in fluoro pink colour.
How would I retreive these, expecially the Raw prawn, and the scorpion?Me and Luke-H are going to the Maribyrnong on Saturday, around Anglers Tavern. Whats my chances around this area? DO you reckon this is the best spot for Hb fishing for shorebased fishin? Thanks alot guys,

Nathan

PS: im using fireline for the first time too on Sat!

Good luck , and just be careful. Last time i landbase fished at Anglers i managed to retrieve more lines and sinkers , than a fisherman should see in his life time . Every bait fisherman who goes down there and cops a snag , snaps his line off .So the rivers floor is covered in tangled lin . Although on the flip side , if you can manage to stay away from the tangles , you should have a good chance of landing a fish on Hbs . Persist with the small fry , and you should be right ..
