don't have to be the one you are using, but the one you like the most and wish you can always use.

I really like Full Scale Kong 180 and Heru Wahoo 100 and 125.
Pink Wahoo, pink Full Scale got me my biggest GTs, 22 and 25kg.
I still have to test many other lures. Trying to get some from Eric Le Guyader. Have some Hammerheads on the ways!

Going fishing today again, hope to come back with some good photos.

Cheers

Always feel very confident when using an Orion Bigfoot 140 in any colour as long as it is pink & white.Also like the Adhek Goby Long.These two lures are always in my kit.

Impossible to choose one (naturally) :)

It changes sometimes but my faves at the moment are:

Chugger: Carpenter Seafrog 170 and Craftbait GT3 150 (should be 3 really with Heru Cubera 150 the other)

Floating stickbait: Carpenter Gamma 160 and Adhek Penipen 140

Sinking stickbait: Orion Bigfoot 140 and up (way up), and Heru Bobara 100XX (should be 3 really with ASWB SS 225 grams - an absolute monster of a lure).

Pencil: Carpenter Kattobi 150 and Adhek Ocean Lady 160

That's true! It needs to be categorised into topwater types...

Pencil: Long Pen 100 - light, long casting and easy to use. Such a simple design that smokes a lot of big GT when gar and flying fish are about.

Popper:
Shallow/All-Round: Hammerhead E-Cup / Craft-Bait GT3 150g
Deep: Full Scale Kong 200 / I-Cup 200g

Topwater Stickbait:
Gamma 160g - 300g
Big Nambas 230g

Ulua 150 stickbaits. Cheapish, good finish, last agers, swim good and catch big fish

Hawaiian made Lunchbox lures, poppers and stick baits.

After throwing those I'm launching a gamma 200.
