All depends on where you're going to fish.  Seen a few fellas doing well on here with Sinking Stickbaits lately, but for a cheaper start, 30gram chrome twisties and 1oz white or green richter plugs are very affective in reefy washy areas as surface lures.

Around the Swan and Mandurah Estuary, I like to use small bibbed lures such as the Smilin Jack.  The Jacks have proven to be very good tailor lures.  

Have a chat with your local tackle store, they'll point you in the right direction.

All the best! 

Head down to The fishing shop in woodvale and have a chat to brenz, bullchops, hide shallows or for the cheaper option Richter plugs work well

 Yep bullchops are great can both be used as a sinking stickbait and worked as a surface lure and are well priced for the results they produce, hide shallows are awesome just a little more expensive. I personally like blusecodes but I know a few others who won't even use them... As mentioned above brenz sure knows his way around the tailor on lures thing.

ask Brenz, he has the biggest tailor lure collection in the world!1.  cheers

i have used certain lures down at mandurah and close surrounding areas and done quite well, i have used the same lures on reefs close to fremantle and could.t raise a hit. changed lures and bang got hit straight away,looked to be same type of country overcast weather by and large both days were the same. but fish prefered different lures at different locations

Good meeting you bobbyG and good luck

 Thanks for the help will let you know how he lures go.

Cheers
