In terms of stickbaits, I think these 2 schemes I did a while back would be my favourites, based purely on the fact they've caught more fish than any other of my lures.

But I also reckon that when GT's are feeding aggressively, you could throw a lure of any colour and it'll likely be bitten. I suppose it's when the fish are shy is a true test for things like colour :-\.

Cheers,
Angus

Mark,

I'd happily fish inside the Great Barrier Reef "lagoon" area and the top of Fraser Island with any popper in red head/white body, follwed by fusilier.  The water is clear as air and typically less than 20m.

Down off Brisbane, where the locals (and myself pre-neck injury) were pulling our fish out of deeper water where dark blues/blacks/greens  work on bright days and the 'panic trout' colour from FCL LABO works on overcast days.  The water here is 15-30m and a lot darker too.

Regardless of where, contrast seems to be a key element across the board.  Even the red head improves 50% by having a couple of black patches on the white belly........comes back to contrast!

Also, having a nice bright pink or yellow cup helps in tracking the lures movements:- both in the air and in the drink!

Cheers,

Aaron.
