    The rapala replicas are about a third of the price of rapalas. They are pretty good also.If you want further casting distance add split shot.Name:  picture 4881.jpg

    Yea saw your post the other day Dundee, thats what got me thinking about the Rapala route again. Where abouts do you pick up your replicas? I had a look on trade me and there are a ton of different replicas of varying price and quality...

    Do you catch many trout with that clip on the hook like that?

    Also does the split shot effect how the lure acts?

    Toby I have been told before from guides too lose the clip but I keep it on as it easier to change lures if I need to change.Just look through 'Catch any trout' thread seems too work for me.

    I had the split shot about 30 cm in front of lure/fly doesn't seem too effect the retrieve but nothing tonight.

    I have only started to use Rapalas but already they have outfished every other merhod I have tried.
    A litter silver floating one caught me a nice 60cm brown trout. I like the floating ones because they stay above the weeds really well. You can also drop them in at the start of a pool and just let them drift down until you start your retrieve. There is no 'plop' to startle fish. A cd 5 can be a bit light to cast any distance. A lot of people seem to be saying get rid of the belly treble and just put a single upward facing hook with a straight eye on the back. Better for the fish and loads less snags.

    A silver paddle tail softbait also works for me but most of my fishing is close to river mouths.

    A black and gold toby is the only thing my mate fishes with and it seems to work for him.

    I've found funnily enough some of the soft baits in that one would use for saltwater fishing work really well.

    Particularly the pumpkin seed colouring.

    Basically for soft baits anything that has a jiggle and looks similar to the Billy's or looks really different they'll nab.

    I'm a huge tassie devil fan too.

    Try the Tequila sunrise and white christmas tree patter in the 13
    .5gr size.

    Also try the pink coloured patterns as they work really well!

    Others that come to mind as deadly combos are the Storm series of soft baits that look like miniature trout and perch.

    I mostly fly fish now so dont mind sharing what I know spinning wise!

    And like the others have said have some veltecs, spoons and a few Toby's!

    Tight lines mate

    I'm not having much luck with lake kayak trolling tassie devils or black & gold toby. Any hints? It's at Lake Clearwater & Lake Heron
