'Snack' Lures

After getting reports from Jeffroman that the estuary was firing, I took a trip up with Jeffroman to pay a visit. If the fish were feeding on micro-lures, that's what we'll give em! We brought along a few Rapala Countdown 3cms with us on this trip. These were like super small bean-like lures that you'd probably "pooh-pooh" off at your tackle store but sometimes, fish like to snack too!

When using micro-lures, its best to go as light as you possibly can. A setup not more than 4-8lb would be best to maximize the fun and castability. Keep the tackle as light as possible and its best to tie the line directly to the lure with the Rapala knot. The action on the lure comes out better especially using those 'beans'. But being lazy buggers, Jeff & I didnt bother as you can see from the pics - we just clipped them onto our snap swivels (again, its not recommended - we were just lazy...and lucky!)

Pesky little things were everywhere

But they do give a nice pull

Micro-lures are good snacks


This Silver Grunter was slightly bigger and gulped down the entire 'bean'

Say ahhhh....
