Come on guys, what IYO is the best Mack lure
Submitted by crasny1 on Wed, 2009-09-09 08:37
I have had so much advise I have about 50, and the spread is 4. Surface runner 1-3m R2S Triho, Deeper F18, Halco Crazy deep and a shot gum popper (havent decided the best one yet).
Lets build a favourite bible of these lures.

unfortunantly the lure i used to love using for the mackies was a Storm Big Mac, unfortunantly they don't make them any more.
can't beat the old laser pros in the 190 size

The macks will swim for miles to nail it.

Rapala x-rap
few months back we were trolling out of kalbarri and most hits from macks came on the x-rap 20/30 in the green/blueish (dorado?...i think) colour.
MJ is on the money with lures and skirted gar.

X-rap 30 - blue sardine
X-rap 30 - blue sardine pattern and the red and white ones. Funny enough the orange coloured Xraps always picked up the trouts n cods whilst trolling for macks....

Doesn't matter so much about
Doesn't matter so much about the lure type, just as long as its red and white
People who haven't caught a big fish just don't get it

Neels, IMO i have caught
Neels, IMO i have caught them on the most cheapest shittiest and the most costly lure,, even just ballooning mullies out the back. Be in the right place @ the right time and you will catch them on anything, IMO there is no real right lure they will just about take anyone but its about being in the right place @ the right time IMO
I have had the result running YO - zurie

Haven't done a great deal of mackie trolling
but we pretty much used x-raps and Bluewater F18's and did OK.
I think pretty much any reasonable swimming lure around 7" - 9" long will do the job.

I go through the Rapala
I go through the Rapala X-Rap, CD 18/14 and Laser Pro in the Red and White colours before going onto anything else. Normally get a strike on one or the other. Gota love those red heads!
