There are a couple of species of fish that i think will love these .

Somewhere like Pato hey...

I think jaryd was also thinking outside Barwon heads in warmer weather

I also think out front of Punchbowl rocks around the same time as outside Barwon
and mybe a bit bigger than a 68 mm lure

Yeah you know me well , I've bought 4 so far and none smaller than the 80mm.
I have a feeling those surface fish will smash those lures, just hope there are a few nicer days this summer.

But Bruce was on the money too.

Hey Praz I must be a cheap skate then, because I only use 4,6,8,10lb Black Magic and never had a problem, but I have with some of the more expensive leader.

I've been interested in trying out new salmon lures for some time now. I'm a lure freak, so I like messing around with them. I bought a couple of the 25g Wax Wings months ago to try out specifically as salmon lures. The anchovy pattern looked particularly nice, so they were the ones I bought.

At around the same time, I bought about 6 x Maria Duplex lures in the 18g and 32g models and some Jackson Pintail lures that weigh 20g. These are traditional looking bibbed lures, but they're different to most lures in that they're extremely heavy for their size. These aren't bad salmon lures, but once again they just can't be cast anywhere near as far as all metal jig lures.

I have changed my ideas on what makes an ideal salmon lure. Now, I only buy all metal slugs. I prefer ones that are weighted at the tail so they travel through the air like a bullet. It's very satisfying to land a long range cast over the back of the breakers into big salmon territory.

I am aware that lures like the Shimano Wax Wing and some others I've mentioned weren't designed specifically as salmon lures, but they're not badly suited to this task, even though they might be better suited to other species and situations.

I like the Maria Duplex lures. Had a couple of really good sessions using them lately. I'll be tying one on first time everytime from now on I reckon.

I had a quick look at the wax wing micro 48 - a new smaller size and may grab a couple in trout and brown trout for playing in some drinking water soon
