diemai Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Dale ,...after my very little knowledge there are different styles of lures being made specificly for Australian game fish , .....in a nutshell ,.....the lures meant for Yellowbelly Perch and Murray Cod are the ones sporting a pronounced body curvature and often a big deep diving lip ,...the lures for fishing for Barramundi are more straight and more similar to European and American minnow baits , though some are also made in the significant Aussie style with their "V"-shaped bellies . You may google terms "Halco Poltergeist" and "Halco Sorcerer" to see examples of this two styles made by that famous Australian lure manufacturing company (I know , that these are exported to Europe as well , in particular the "Sorcerer" one can find in Scandinavian web shops , ....also bought some used ones even on local fleamarkets here in Hamburg/Germany) . I've been making my own versions of such lures for a few years now and after my humble experiences those lures like the "Poltergeist" do not have sucha strong appeal for our local pike , but surely do have for perch , ...whereas Australian lures designed to target Barramundi can be used for European pike without any limitations . To learn more about Australian lures , their design and their makers you may check out www.lurelovers.com , ....a great Australian site for lure enthusiasts .
