Gunz Tailwalk, smaller size Orion Bigfoot, Jackson Pintail Tune, HammerHead Sharapoa and Glannny's chopping board lure would be a few definates I'd be taking along.
AKA: Sunny

Stephen,

I second Sunny's lure suggestions. Especially the small Orions, they are great lures.
I tend to use Decoy JS1 in 4/0, 5/0, 6/0 or Owner SJ41 in 9/0 depending on the lure size.
Split rings in the Owner 6 to 8 range.

The tailwalks have a really good action and are pretty good value, the 120gram in the sinking and floating models are worthwhile having the tackle box!

I have had a day at Bugatti just working the blue holes with smaller lures. I agree with whats mentioned above the Bigfoots and the Gunz are the go with decoy js-1

I Also had some little Fullscale poppers that i threw with a Js-1 on the belly and and a little js-1 tied to about 3 or 4cm of assist cord on the rear but after i lost one on the second cast i was time to put the other away. As they are pretty cool
