Bream lures

Hi guys
I have planned a trip down to Alexandra bridge for three days in march and l am going to bring one rod set up with river prawns on it and l am still deciding if it is worth putting a lure on another rod and if l was to put a lure on what lure should l put on.
Cheers

Always worth flicking a lure

Always worth flicking a lure around while you soak a bait. The Ecogear SX40 has probably caught more bream than any other lure in history so they are a great place to start. The Cranka Crank is a great lure when you need long casts over flats or to cast accurately into the wind & it's caught more than it's fair share of bream to.

Soft plastics are fantastic so long as you use the lightest jighead you can get away with in the conditions. I don't think brands of tail are very important personally, I find style & colour far more important. A natural colour wriggler or paddle tail around the 2.5 inch mark I find to be the best bet. If you are fussy about brands then Zman, Gulp & Atomic are probably the 3 most people use.

Ecogear SX40. That being said never had any luck with it landbased and usually lose lures on snags but have been killing it casting into snags and trolling reedy flats in the dinghy.

 I use mainly Halco's down there with pretty good success, Halco Sorpions, love the sneaky range, have used various SP's, but hard body lures are my first lure to use.

 Z man Grubz 2.0 are worth a go. They are don't get chomps or splits in them even with all the toothy creatures.
