After what felt like months of howling SE winds with some reasonable rain periods the weather finally improved for the Easter break . I have been having quite good success on our local threadfin salmon & barra using Spanyid Sniper soft vibes this last season.
This one fell to a pink 12 gram Spanyid Sniper vibe fished on my favourite combo – G.Loomis NRX 852 with Shimano Aero ARC 4000 , 20lb Power Pro Super Slick with 40lb Ocea Fluorocarbon leader
This salmon fell to a Spanyid Sniper 12 gram vibe in pink using a quick, short , sharp retrieve which has worked well while they are feeding hard on jelly prawns at the mouth of a small drain.
Local mate Nathan Nitschinksk has been instrumental in refining our vibing this last year with some fantastic fish falling to these versatile lures
