This category consists of articles about species such as barra, mangrove jack, GT’s, Queenies etc. that I would target on #10 weight fly or larger spin or overhead tackle.

{{+1}}Killalure river rat{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is the deepest swimming lure that I carry with a cast and troll depth of 20 feet. The River Rat is a stand-out general purpose saltwater lure, that is great for both casting & trolling. I carry just one colour and that is the Bobby dazzler gold.{{end}}

{{+1}}Halco scorpion 150{{-1}}
{{start}}
On the cast it swims down to 3 meters. When trolling areas of structure, the buoyancy of the lure and the “butterknife” tail of the Scorpion 150 allow the lure to back off any snags after the line has been allowed to slacken off.{{end}}
{{+1}}Lucky craft pointer 100XD{{-1}}
{{start}}
Off the cast the Pointer 100XDit has a swim depth of 10 feet. I often use this lure when the water is colder and barra are sulking in deeper water.{{end}}
{{+1}}Killalure barra bait 150mm{{-1}}
{{start}}
With a diving depth of 8 feet on the cast the original Barra Bait has been one of the most popular Barra lures in Australia for many years and is still a great option particularly on the troll.{{end}}
{{+1}}Samaki Redic jerkbait DS 100{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is a silent running suspending lure that dives to the depth of 3M+ and one of my favorite lures for prospecting around weed beds and other structure. This colour is sandstorm and is a great colour for Awoonga barra ... there are of course other fantastic colours in the range.{{end}}
{{+1}}Halco Laser Pro 120{{-1}}
{{start}}
The L120 swims at around 2.5M on the cast and just a little lower than that on the troll. The cast has a straight tradectory because the weights move to the rear of the lure and then as the retrieve starts the weights lock in place back towards the front of the lure enhancing the swimming action of the lure.{{end}}
{{+1}}Reidys B52{{-1}}
{{start}}
This lure swims at around 1.5 meters and fills a gap in my arsenal for a lure that I can retrieve over weed gardens ... the barra come from nowhere and unless your on your game they'll be back there in a flash.{{end}}
{{+1}}Bassday sugarpen 120F{{-1}}
{{start}}
The colour I have selected is GT287 which is silver with a little bit of orange under the chin. This is thin enough to be a very good representation of the snub nose gar fish which is one of the dominant bait fish in Awoonga and many Qld dams.{{end}}
{{+1}}Rapala x-Rap Walk 09{{-1}}
{{start}}
This walk the dog type lure is an older model and the colours the orange chrome is no longer available. I was lucky to snag a couple of these at our local Tackle World. The new ones have a lateral tail fin that stabilizes the retrieve a little but I am happy without that because without the tail fin the swimming action is a little more erratic.{{end}}
{{+1}}Barambah bony shad lure – swimbait{{-1}}
{{start}}
I treat these lures as predominately deeper water prospecting lures and find that it's best to retrieve them at as slow a pace as possible to maintain the fishing depth.{{end}}
