Hi Andrew,
Welcome to the forum, i am new to spinning and lately there hasent been any catches. I think its the time of the year or the places i am visiting. Regarding the lure thats a good lure. I would also buy if i where you a mamotti by seaspin yiu can find it from (
www.lurehunter.com) they are killer lures for barracudas. Try going in the morning before sunrise and in the afternoon before sunset. Goodluck and if you want we can meet and do a spinning session and learn from each other. Just pm me. Tight lines
Chris
