Good allround lure

[Gh05t]

Good day
I am new to this and was wondering, what is the best all rounder lures to startup my tackle box with?
Starting to buildup my tackle box

Mainly going for any tipe of edibles.
Attached the lures I alread have

I am booked at Hole in the wall next year April.
I have bought a Loomis & Frankel 12" Archipelago XH HMG and must still decide on a reel, thinking Okuma Azores blue

I have no sea fishing experience at all.
Thank you

Invest in some paddle tails with 1,2 to 3 ounce jig heads (lead heads).

How difficult is a paddle tail to use?

 

[Gh05t]

In Kimberley not alot too choose from.
What do you think about these mullet, blue mackerel and red eye sardine spoons?
Does the fish really see the driffrence?

Do bucktails work and what tipe of fish will go for it.
What colour is the best for results

Nothing wrong with the lures you have already. You need a good 5000 size reel with a smooth drag and high retrieve, 20lb -30lb braid
You can pick up some nice reels 2nd hand like this Stradic

Paddle tails are generally fished hopped slowly above the bottom but you will need to experiment with different techniques depending on how the fish are feeding.

Thanks

there, i corrected the spelling mistake!

start off with spoon, those listed thus far is good.

a plug is also good.

check the go fish live shows!!!
plenty of info there on what they use.
check Barry Wareham videos about which plug and how to retrieve it.

Hole in the wall will be good for plugs and spoons.
but you do not need 100 plugs and spoons.

just a few, and keep on trying!!

My advice would be to get an "S" bend spoon and a broad flat spoon to fish slowly in shallower water. Most import, to me anyway, is to change all the treble hooks to singles especially when fishing amongst the rocks. You will save yourself a lot of money in lost spoons long term.
When retrieved a spoon will travel "V" down so have you hook facing up (away from the "V") which also helps.
Good luck and enjoy. Spinning is a wonderful way to fish.

Hi Gh05t,

On a funnier side.....is there ever a "go to lure or an all rounder" in a tacklebox ?!
If you a lure hoarder, there is no such, but when the fish is on the bite, only some lures get to see the water, so the answer is yes, there are a few all rounders.

My few would be the ff.
Toby spoon
S-bend spoon
A few bucktail jigs
Paddle tails

To answer a few of your questions, it's not difficult at all to use paddletails, it is the rod & retrieve action you give the lure that will determine your success.
Lots has been said about rod & retrieve action on the forum.
Browse the forum or search function using key words for results.

Lots has been written about lure colours in the water.
My personal experience, & many other anglers will agree that white & red, or white with chartreuse or yellow/orange or pink & green works well.
Other anglers will believe in other colours or combos & rightfully so, as that is what they experienced 1st hand.

Bucktails are excellent jigs & will entice from grunter to shad, kob, garrick, GT's, spotted pompano etc.

As you go along & have your own success, you will soon find your "go-to lures & own all rounders".

What you have is perfect especially the Chaos plugs for shad & garrick.
So, happy hunting &
