Rubber shads on jig hooks - a go to for me and consistent . WESTIN shad Teez, Fox Rage all are good fast or slow

Posted: **Tue Nov 21 2023 21:39**

Salmo “Slider”, Tinseltown.

Paddletail shad. 90% of the time it works every time.
Simple and versatile.

Posted: **Wed Nov 22 2023 11:13**

there's loads, my main ones are

Miuras mouse ( diff tails on them + spares and options)
Real eels 30cm rigged shallow no weight
SG 4play V1 25 & 19 cm
River Roach 18cm
Hooligan Roach 23cm
Line Thru Trout 20cm

Posted: **Thu Nov 23 2023 12:15**

Go-to boat fishing lures
Savage gear line thru roach in 25 or 32cm (natural roach/rudd/bream or lemon)
Savage gear line thru trout in 30cm or occasionally 40cm (especially the lemon or albino base colours)
Eastfield vipers 40cm
Miuras mouse plus various combinations of curly/paddle tail shad tails (assorted colours)
Scout swimmers 18cm or Westin swim glides 18cm with large curly tails added
Eastfield Wingman curly 30cm (various colours)
Gator catfish curly 35cm (Black/red or firetiger fluoro)

Giant pig shads are always a fish catcher but don't seem so productive as a trolling lure.

At last count I had 37 large boxes of lures in regular use plus 2 filing cabinets full of spares and oddities, and many boxes of obscure lures I occasionally use. Plus the perch fishing lure collection, and the trout lures, sea lures and lures I purchased for specific holidays like largemouth and smallmouth bass lures. Maybe I have too many lures? I think I have more lures being delivered tomorrow from Sweden. Maybe I should buy another XL lure bag...

The money you save can go toward the XL lure bag

Have you got a link for the different tails you use on the Mouse please mate?

I’d also get a big s. Great lures that are cheap and easy to use. Fish them in all sorts of different ways, when on the surface in summer.

The most commonly used combos with Miuras are Pig Shads, Gator Gums or Catfish and Wingman Curlys. Basically paddle for active fish, curly when it's slower going... you can use anything you want of course...

Spend over 100 euro and under £135, free shipping, no VAT.

You can use almost any big soft plastic, paddle or curluy, i use some big grubs from Soverign Superbaits- prob my fave tail to use, or 30/40cm real eels or the twin tails they come with-i think these are best if your fishign them really slow with lots of pause's.

same with shads anything 17-20cm+, 18cm slick shads work well,i have a couple of big gunki g'bumps they work well but you can use almost anyting thats a decent size, some you can cut the head off to butt up to the head of the mouse better, i find can help it run straighter.

Marks options are good, they soverign ones i use are pretty cheap, but they do work.

A very effective winter lure on a local Shallow loch for me has been the Salmo Perch fished just sub surface perch and roach pattern but as they are probably only seeing it from below I don't think it matters too much.
That bulge it makes as you retrieve .

I take a different selection every time but the 3 types that NEVER get taken out of the box are the following

Mepps musky killer.
Buster jerk
Rapala peto

Sorry Mark wasn’t sarcastic; merely reflecting that brand/ build/ reputation not the same concern with soft plastics, as hardbaits.
