Found tailor love richter plugs,plugs also cast alot further so you can cover more ground

sheesh this is a tough one i love plugs but i think the fat-rs will always outfish the plugs . but in saying that i do tend to lean towards the plugs sometimes around the reel shallow reefy areas due to the fact that they cost a whole lot less. in saying that the fat r's still cast the same distance and are a gem but apart from reefy situations i wont usually use them

Seems everytime i put on a fat r on reefy areas i lose it so thats a good point gotta love the price of richter plugs

richter plugs are cool lol.

Another vote for them, dynamite both metro and north

Plugs are great. As already mentioned they are cheap, and great for casting across the top of shallow reef. Also like that you can change the action of the lure by the speed of your retreive rate. Some days fish will not go to the surface to hit a popper, the plug gets down under the water just enough, to get them too strike. I only wish there smallest plug was another 5grams heavier.

I had tailor on sunday smash the plug into the air, And jump and take them while still in the air

Last sunday as soon as thay hit the water, BAN Tailor smashing them

For all the people that think that thay work that fast/// Warning/// Tailor have got to be on the bite and around first

Wade, have you got the tiny little half oz models? Just asking as a lot of people think the 1oz is the smallest there is.

what colour do people prefer?

 i see theres white, green , pink , any others? what gets more hits?

slow or fast retrieve?

let it sink more or straight accross the top?

straigt to leader? or leader swivel the richter?

cheers, im learning....

ritcher plugs are awesome i nailed some wikid size southern blues on em and tailor

I have done well on the white plugs with Coral Trout. Just got some pink ones, going to give them a go soon. I found a med paced retrieve works best for me.

Cheers for the feedback guys. I'll definately being giving them a dedicated session very soon.

to single hook set-ups Soupy. They are great lures, but I was finding that I was losing a few good tailor because they were able to spit out the trebles.
The great things about Richters is that they are reasonably cheap, will cast a long way and will bounce of reefs - so you rarely get snagged.

Havent had as much joy with breen. Cast well, catch well, and ---- Oh damn Im snagged. Ping. Ah well get another out of the bag and get on with it. No tears etc. Not the same I am sure with a Lacunas jig etc. And as for Jay and Brads poppers. Dont even look at them because I would start winging before it is lost.LOL

is the use of the richter plug for distance, that was my first guess the weight to get past the reef, otherwise was thinking lighter poppers?

as I recall. I find up here that a faster retrieve is better than a slower SW Tailor type retrieve. But at that speed some palagics with swibo teeth will also be attracted to these. And so is the GTs, so you might still loose a few to these situations.

I have left (or upgraded) the trebles as the only fish that shakes like a tailor up here is queenies, but they hook themselves very well (usually). The rest only rarely take to the air. Never tried them on Barra but suspect a single would be much better.

Tested the plugs trebles out this morning on the huge school of queenies in the channel. Found the trebles are not the best, as alot of fish were getting off. I then changed the trebles to some good quality ones..and bingo, all is good now. In the past i have dropped a few fish on plugs, and just blamed myself...now i only take half the blame..bloody cheap trebles!

Has anyone used the plugs from the shore, and if so, any luck?

We caught all our salmon today on white richtors from shore, they wouldn't take anything else today.
