lures - where do you buy them?

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

lures - where do you buy them?

#1 Post by kieran »

Hi

Quick question - where do you buy your lures?

Spent 45 EURO on veals recently in preparation for a bit of warm water fishing. I am off to Fuerteventura for a week in March en famile so the fishing will be limited and have been warned that the rapalas and yo-zuris will get smashed to bits by any decent barracuda. :shock: :D They reputedly hang around the harbour mouths waiting for a mullet to wander past... btw if anyone has any decent information on marks around there (corralejo( I'd be obliged of a few PMs.

I will have the Exage travel rod and light spinning gear with me, will be making up some light wire traces and rubbing leaders... bought mostly spoons and solid lures of the sparkly varieties (remember a tiny barracuda eyeing my wedding band when snorkeling some years back!)...

Thanks
Kieran Hanrahan

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks

Don't what your hard earned cash feeding Rapals to Barra's. Ebay might be the spot to pick up something made of hard plastic and cheap.
