Hi speed
Don't forget a couple of hi speed jet heads, We trolled Steep in May and used Xraps and other deep divers and could not raise a fish, changed to jet heads trolled the same line and nailed a good Wahoo first pass..... we run them well back and speed around 12 knots. Most days if we were not in hurry, we would drag these everywhere got some good longtail and shark mackeral too Good Luck

Good point Rick.
When I was up in Jurien I knew there were some macks in the water, but they just would not touch the divers. I got a little frustrated with that, so I popped on a couple of jets, cranked the boat up to 14kn and I had a sharky on in under 30 seconds.

Have to agree with the X-Raps. Swim well straight out of the box. Had plenty of laser pros not want to swim straight.

Yep, pink chrome and red
Yep, pink chrome and red heads, Halco 160 & 190 sizes, grab one of each in 9m deep dive and normal 1.5m ones and some of either size. The red head was dynamite for us last July around DH Island. And pack some gulps etc for use at anchor around Turtle Bay etc, they go off nicely too for all kinds of critters.
Cheers
