Title: Your must have lures for 2012?
Post by: Jay Burgess on January 17, 2012, 07:01:27 PM: Was going through my lure collection in anticipation for my next trip, trying to decide what I should choose to take... whittling your lures down to around 20 to take on a trip is usually a difficult task ;D It got me thinking that I haven't bought any new lures for a considerable amount of time... gammas were restocked after New Caledonia losses, Sea Frog collection looks quite good, got more of the usual craftbaits and whatnot that you can poke a stick at. Needless to say the bank account looks quite healthy at the moment.. although I try telling myself this isn't an excuse to go on a spending spree! So I'm putting it out there, what are your must have lures for 2012? if there's any good suggestions and I don't currently have in my collection, I may need to buy 8)

Post by: Rob Langridge on January 19, 2012, 12:24:35 AM: The Angel Tackle Floating stick bait. Its called the Roso and its 120g & 23cm.
Its been a proven winner on the GT`s in Fiji and New Caledonia. And very successful on the YellowTail Kingfish in New Zealand.

Jay it wont look out of place in your lure collection.

Cheers Rob

The "Haymaker" is a Roosta, its just the name of the largest version. But it must be the Yellowfin color!
