Soft Plastic Lures
The choice in small, soft plastic lures suitable for LRF and light lure fishing is immense. Take your pick from shads and paddle tails, darting lures, pin tails, worms and creature baits. All in every conceivable colour. If you are looking for inspiration, browse through the dozens of posts that feature my successful soft-plastics and the many varied catches made.
3g Fiiish Black Minnow
Fiiish Black Minnows aren’t exclusively for the heavier outfits. This 3g Shore Black Minnow is reminiscent of many of our resident baitfish.
Berkley Powerbait Perch Lures
Two more lures from Berkley Powerbait that caught my eye. Would be happy using either of these 2-inch lures on the UL for the Perch. Both the Gotam Shad and the Drop Shot Minnow feature holographic flash and bright colours – ideal for the canal.
Berkley Powerbait Shrug Minnow
Pure Fishing, the worldwide distributors of brands like Abu Garcia, Penn and Berkley, has its own giant show for the trade on another date, but they did have a presence at T&G and there were a few items I found interesting.
These 1.5 inch Shrug Minnows look great for LRF. They’re from Berkley’s Saltwater Powerbait range and come flavoured with the Powerbait formula. Always pleased to see something saltwater specific. This Clear Gold Fleck colour stood out.
Tub Gurnard on Red Reins
Dan has been doing well on red lures in recent weeks.
Sub Zero Angling
I had a rare, full pass for this weekend so despite the freezing conditions it was full steam ahead to try and make the most of it.
